I have "benevolent extra terrestrial intervention" top on my list of improbable things to wish for.

So no due process, just "cut the Internet of the people we tell you to." What the fuck?

The original joke from the link above:

It is 1939 and a Soviet army is marching on Finland. As they pass the border, they hear a Finnish voice over the hill; "One Finnish soldier is better than 10 Soviet soldiers!"

The Soviet general laughs, as he sends 10 men on the hill to capture it. There is gunfire for a minute and then everything goes silent for a moment, and they then hear the same voice; "One Finnish soldier is better than a hundred of yours!"

Annoyed, the Soviet general sends hundred men to capture the hill. There is gunfire and bombs going for ten minutes, and everything goes silent again. Suddenly, the same voice yells out; "One Finnish soldier is better than thousand of Soviet soldiers!"

Enraged, the general sends a thousand men, accompanied with tanks, artillery, mortar teams, and tells them to not return until the hill is theirs. For half an hour hell breaks loose, bombs and explosions, gunfire, screams and death all around, and then it goes silent again. One Soviet soldier crawls back, severely wounded and battered. Before the general could say anything, the soldier says;

"Do not send more troops, comrade general, it's a trap! There is two of them."

This fight isn't over I think. Someone that knows more about law than I, want to help me understand what this means for actual abortion access in Georgia? Seems like this just kicks off some appeals process or state legal fight.

Edit:

Kara Murray, a spokesperson for Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, said he would immediately appeal to the state supreme court. The state high court earlier reversed a separate ruling by McBurney that had struck down the law on different grounds and could put Monday’s ruling on hold pending an appeal.

and

The ruling, by Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of Fulton County Superior Court, is unlikely to be the final word because of the expectation that the case will ultimately be decided by the Georgia Supreme Court.

Reminds me of the time that dumb ass tried to correct a NOAA forecast with a sharpie.

Diseases that were once a death sentence are now curable like HIV and Hep C.

He realizes his whole business is government contracts and he's backed a loser.

I hope they elbowed the person next to them. "Hey, look, look!"

Robinson was making an appearance at the Mayberry truck show in Mount Airy when he was injured...

didn’t immediately respond to texts seeking details on how and where the burns occurred.

My money is on; He burned his lips on a truck tail pipe.
