What is Jim Jordan up to?

Obama was For the Defense of Marriage Act before he was Against it.

The act has no respect for marriage.

The editorial board of this leftist rag either is ignorant of the constitution or willing pushing the lies leftist live by. I'll go out on a limb here and guess the know they're lying.

Access to contraceptives was never in danger of being outlawed. I don't understand why there was a reason to pass a bill that keeps contraceptives available other than a grandstanding stunt.

"It is curious, though, that Jordan would invest so much energy in opposing a bill that was “unnecessary” and aimed at addressing “a manufactured crisis.” If both those things are true, what’s the harm?" The harm isthat every single bill that passes congress sets up some kind of beurocratic agency or board or advisory group eyc that is then given the legal power to write "regulations" which carry the weight of law. Every single bill grows the deep state and gives more power over our lives to unelected, faceless and increasingly leftist beurocrats whose sole reason to exist is to increase the power and scope of oversight of the beurocratic organization that provides their livelihood. A livelihood completely protected from the vageries of perfomance requirements, necesity or economic sense that rules the sniveling little peons they rule over. Even death is often not enough to get a government beurocrat relieved of his position. Zombies envy the government beurocrats. They envy them because the beurocrats are less useful, more terrifying, much slower, are not required to even roam the halls, they wouldn't recognize a human brain if it slapped them in the face and they are much much harder to eliminate than even the most rancid nuked up zombie. The Zombies would however, be more easily reasoned with and would probably exhibit more common sense and initiative.

Where and why did the leftist “privacy” mantra hide out vis-a-vis vaccine mandates?

The article is premised on a lie: that Justice Thomas called for the court to overturn those decisions. He did not call for it to overturn them, he called for it to re-evaluate those decisions. "re-evaluate" does not mean "overturn". I suspect that he would like the Court to come to decisions on those issues on more sound legal reasoning...since, to a large degree, those decisions were based on the badly decided Roe v Wade decision.

Just because congress passes a bill and it becomes law, does not mean it is exempt from SCOTUS ruling it unconstitutional. Jim Jordan wants to pick his battles.
