        Bribery and extortion. No vote is made on a bill’s own merits. It’s “I will continue to defend the orphan crushing machine against your shenanigans unless you give me 30 Million of your state’s dollars to build a bridge to move the ophan crusher to my district!”

        Seriously, how can you possibly live through the last couple of years of Roe and associated laws and decide there is no violence??!
