I have seen Sidney Powell in interviews before all this mess and she seemed competent. It is confusing that she seems to have suddenly turned into a lunatic. What happened? The leap from upstanding, respectable attorney to unprofessional lunatic seemingly overnight makes no sense. What really happened?

That’s why sexual relations between doctors and patients are mostly treated as an ethical issue (re medical license) and civil issue. Unlike statutory rape laws in most states based on the victim’s inability to legally consent to sexual activity based on age or intellectual disability, the “power dynamic” between a doctor and patient or employer and employee does not negate consent in the context of criminal offenses. There are some exceptions as laws vary from state to state, but the majority of states don’t criminally penalize doctor and patient consensual relationships.

When Republicans steer so far to the right, they end up turning left and making a pro-choice argument.

I was raised in a republican household and i'll definitively say at least in my case they do not care about children. They care about their children growing up to be dogs of the ownership class, and according to their wage is the amount of pride they have in them. People have economic worth and that's it.
