re: #594 LudwigVanQuixote

Why would the legislation prevent future cases. Isn’t the idea that she wanted her day in court. Ace’s point is very valid. If the legislation was needed to get the woman’s day in court, how was it that she got her day in court before the legislation passed? If her case was resolved before the legislation was voted on you have to at least admit that a case could be made that the legislation was not needed, given she already got her justice. Why is that viewpoint evil? It’s like the argument against hate crimes. You can be against hate crime legislation and not be evil. I can be against it and still think it’s atrocious to victimize gays or racial minorities. You are equating, being against this specific legislation with denying a woman’s day in court, which she already had under the existing laws, therefore all of Ace’s comments ring true given the timeline.
