Democracy is under siege, and state-sanctioned vigilantes are leading the charge. In this episode Rick speaks with Jon Michaels and David Noll, authors of the upcoming book Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy. They discuss the alarming rise of state-backed vigilante activities, particularly through laws like Texas SB8, and how these efforts are aimed at achieving authoritarian political control. The conversation explores the MAGA movement's tactics, the threats to democratic institutions, and the potential dangers surrounding future U.S. elections. It's a chilling analysis of how private actors, with state approval, are shaping America's political landscape.

We're thrilled to bring the conversation to Strict Scrutiny listeners as well.The Supreme Court is gearing up to hear challenges to some state laws restricting abortion, including a case from Mississippi that directly challenges the 1973 precedent set in Roe v. Wade. Given the court's conservative super majority, many legal experts are warning that access to abortion may hang on Congressional action. The Women's Health Protection Act, a bill that could legally enshrine the right to abortion care, passed the House on September 24th but faces a battle in the Senate.Melissa's co-panelists are Imani Gandy, senior editor at the Rewire News Group and co-host of the podcast Boom!

What would it mean to codify Roe vs Wade? Is it time we stop this fight for reproductive rights and pass a law that would affirm a pregnant person's right to an abortion without undue interference? In May, one of nation's strictest abortion measures, banning procedure as early as six weeks into a pregnancy was signed into law in Texas and opened the door for almost any private citizen to sue abortion providers and others. Women across the country raised their voices in protest over this latest attack on their bodies and prepared for the coming battle in the courts to defend Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision establishing a constitutional right to the procedure. With the current number of conservative-leaning justices sitting on the supreme court the possibility that the decision might be overruled is very, very real. On Sunday, October 24th there will be a rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan to protest the recent passing of Senate Bill 8 in Texas and an abortion case being on the upcoming Supreme Court docket. The rally is being hosted by the Lunar Doula Support Network's Lunar Doula Collective.

In today's Meat, the boys talk about Nappi's jealousy issues, self-sabotage, and Jay being depressed. But first, Nappi discusses fight tactics, pepper spray, failing to be mysterious, and using the phrase “long story short.” Then, Jay examines the constitutional underpinnings that led to abortion becoming a fundamental right. Abortion is a charged topic. It is rare for someone not to have an opinion on the subject. It's insane that in 2021 women are having to still fight for bodily autonomy. What's even more insane is the fact that the people creating laws restricting abortions have no empathy or understanding for those who wish to undergo the procedure. To think that abortions will end by prohibition is ignorant and idiotic. Instead, women seeking abortions will be forced to risk their lives in order to exercise what should be a fundamental human right. In today's episode, the boys detail Texas SB8 and provide their opinions on abortion. I want to leave you with a question from the comedian George Carlin: “How come when it's us, it's abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelette?”
