Governor Gavin Newsom used his veto pen over the weekend to ax legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state.

Assembly Bill 2164 authored by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) would have prohibited California’s governor from recognizing a request for extradition of a person related to their providing a legally protected healthcare activity in the Golden State to transgender individuals, or if they provide reproductive services. It provided certain exemptions, such as an extradition required by federal law.

    You aren’t interacting in good faith. You’re afraid to state an actual position because then you know you’ll have to defend it. This is itself an admission.

        Agreed. The truth is that Kamala Harris wasn’t a good candidate but she definitely isn’t a fascist under any definition you have provided.

            You didn’t provide a definition. You’re afraid to do so because it would open you to refutation, and you know you’ve made a preposterous argument.

              I’ve pointed directly at the man who wrote the book on fascism and coined the term. maybe you’re not qualified to be in this discussion.

                Unlike you, I cited specific criteria for fascism.

                You’re like one of those preachers who says something is “against the bible” without citing a verse. It’s like you either haven’t read it or hope I haven’t read it. You’re afraid.

                Maybe you’re not qualified to be in this discussion.
