Canada’s supreme court has ruled that defendants accused of violent crimes such as homicide and sexual assault can use self-induced extreme intoxication as a defense, striking down a federal law supported by women’s advocacy groups.
'When self induced intoxication '..So wrong !
Sorry What

Can't see this backfiring at all... 😐🤦♀️

Intoxication can be violent crime defense, Canada supreme court rulesPeople accused of violent crimes such as homicide and sexual assault can use self-induced extreme intoxication as a defense Utter madness! This is an extremely misleading headline. You make it sound like as long as violent criminals have had a few drinks they'll be able to get away with murder, and you very well know that's not remotely the case. Lawyers are overpaid art students prone to overformalistic thinking with a monopoly on law that they have ruthlessly exploited for profit to the detriment of justice. Judges come from this broken cohort. There is no rule of law or justice in this pay-to-win theater.

California: Bid to 'future proof' US state against threats to women's abortion rightsThe US Supreme Court is believed to be on the verge of removing national access to abortion services. Individual states are taking action. Like the right to bear arms, don’t make me laugh. Can we also work on fixing the state's homeless and water crises and figure out how to make an electrical grid that doesn't fail when it gets super hot? That would be great, thanks.

Biden's Abortion Views, Faith at Odds Like Never BeforeSince the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion, Biden's abortion stance and Catholic faith have never been more at odds freedom No. Not at odds. Biden has no problem distinguishing between his personal faith, and what's the best public health policy. Too bad republicans are so bad at this.
