The *Heavy Sigh* Wrangle



The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down a lower federal court ruling that temporarily blocked Texas from enforcing its ban on abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.

The Department of Justice now has until Oct. 12 to reply to the ruling, and the ban remains in effect until then.

So the horror show is back on.


(I'm sorry to have to point this out again, but clearly this was written and/or scheduled for publication this morning at 5 am without awareness of the 'breaking news' from last night.  Maybe he'll get around to that, but as of 7:30 am ... nada.  Again, my interest in having someone read yesterday's newspaper to me is less than zero, but people can be a little, shall we say, stuck in their ways.  After all, I would've thought the Catholic Church had ended itself a long time ago ...)


So unless a court intervenes, we'll get to see a Sheila Jackson Lee versus Al Green primary for the 9th Congressional District of Texas.  Perhaps one of them will retire before then, but ...


I completely empathize with the Romans who fed Christians to the lions.  I just wish they had been able to do more of that.

There are some small arcs bending toward justice.


Here's what passes for my business round-up.

A story told many times recently but needs repeating:


There was a good listing of distractions in yesterday's post, so I'll just add this one and then get my Saturday going to more enjoyable pursuits.
