At oral arguments before the Supreme Court, a lawyer for Republicans admitted that eliminating voting restrictions would put Republicans at a 'competitive disadvantage.'

Once again, I am so thankful to say that PBC is part of a larger body with whom we can cooperate and work for the well-being of all people. And Cooperative Baptist Fellowship has recently published insightful and challenging words that can help us continue that work. So today, June 3, 2020, I hand over the post to them so that those words can be more widely disseminated. Just as Deena’s post yesterday was shared, I hope you’ll share these as well so that we might be better equipped to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.First is a joint statement from CBF and CBF GA in support of hate crime legislation in Georgia (HB 426) that has already been passed by the Georgia House of Representatives but has been stuck in Senate Judiciary Committee since March 8 of 2019. I was pleased to represent PBC as a quoted signatory to this statement.Next is a powerful statement from CBF Executive Coordinator Dr. Paul Baxley. As we hold both violence against our brother-in-Christ George Floyd that took his life and violence against other persons of color in one hand, we hold Pentecost in the other. What are people of faith, indwelt by the very Spirit of God, to do? Paul suggests actions needed by the church, by government and by the CBF. Finally, a very challenging blog post from Rev. Kasey Jones, Associate Coordinator of Strategic Operations & Outreach for CBF. She recounts how the the torture and murder of Emmett Till catalyzed the Civil Rights Movement and connecting both the death of George Floyd and the risk Queen Esther took in confronting power she says, “It is time for the separate system of justice for black and brown men and women to be altered to a fair and just system for All.” It does seem that we are at a new crossroads in God’s movement of redemption. Are we willing to find common ground so that we might have everything in common?

Lost in the (justifiable) concern over Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson's apparent lack of understanding of REOs, OREO, and just about anything pertinent to his job is a recently-proposed HUD rule that would deliberately reverse an Obama-era regulation requiring nondiscrimination in the provision of services to the homeless based on gender identity. Is it as bad as you think? (Yes.) First, however, we begin with an Andrew Was Wrong and a bit more discussion on abortion, including the difference between Plan B and the oral abortifacient RU-486, and the difference between a zygote and a blastocyst. After that, it's time for our deep dive into Secretary Carson's laughable testimony... and the real issue hiding beneath the surface, which involves crafting a religious exception to the Equality Rule of 2016. Then, it's time to debut Optimist Prime(TM) vs. Negatron(TM) on impeachment. Find out why Andrew thinks the tide is turning and Thomas... doesn't. Where do you wind up? Listen and find out! Then, it's time for the answer to an all-new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam #127 -- a dreaded real property question about a man who tries to convey his property to an overseas nephew before dying.  Can Thomas get it right??  Listen and find out!

Show Notes & Links We first discussed the rise of state-level constitutional protections to the right to choose back in Episode 276. and analyzed Georgia HB 481 and Alabama HB 314 in Episode 280. You can read HUD proposed rule FR-6152 (currently RIN 2506-AC53) for yourself.

Today's episode takes an in-depth look at the recent abortion bans passed in Georgia and Alabama, breaking down exactly what these laws say (and don't say!) to help you sort through the panic from the actual news. It's not always a pleasant trip, but it's a journey worth taking to figure out exactly what's at stake. We begin, however, with a listener question about abortion -- and specifically, about whether the federal government can preemptively prevent the states from doing the kinds of things we talked about back in Episode 276. Find out why Andrew thinks the conservative Supreme Court isn't likely to uphold the constitutionality of a federal law prohibiting states from recognizing abortion rights. After that, it's time for a deep dive in to the very confusing Georgia statute , HB 481. Exactly what does this bill do (and not do), and how scared should you be? Listen and find out. And if that's not enough, we also walk you through the more straightforward (but still terrifying) Alabama statute, HB 314. Is it true that the bill fails to exempt rape victims? (Yes.) Is there anything to mitigate how awful this bill is? (Sort of.) After all that, it's time to find out the answer to TTTBE #126 about a man who shoots a would-be assailant three times, including once after the assailant is lying on the ground and whimpering. What kind of crime could this be? Listen and find out! Appearances None! If you'd like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at openarguments@gmail.com.
