practically banned all abortions in the state of texas, is on hold temporarily. judge robert pittman issued a temporary stay blocking the law, as you said, stephanie, immediately appealed up to the circuit court. arguably the most conservative in the country. right now that law may only be lifted for a very short period of time. a lot of whiplash if you re a woman in texas trying to make such a big decision as this. right now the judge said the law was flagrantly unconstitutional. the court didn t get into the constitutionality of this law that they wouldn t weigh in to stop it s merely said procedural questions coming from a bench that shifted more conservative over the past few years. a few questions they wanted answered that now we finally have a federal judge weighing in on the constitutionality of the law, and we ll see how the circuit court responds when this
doing. they knew they would continue to alienate and some people wouldn t be happy with it. from a global standpoint, this thing is bigger than just the united states. they re taking this global brand on a global message. i think it resonates throughout the world not just here in the united states. an important perspective to point that out. we are talking about a global economy. marc there s so much talk about how polarized everything is and for many companies it should be a sign they wouldn t weigh in. we ve seen airlines say we re not going to fly separated children. more companies seem to be taking a stand. why do you think the tides are changi changing? first, to dante s point, we never want to remant size companies and corporations. they don t have feelings. corporations have interests. if they thought they would minimize growth rather than maximize, they wouldn t do it.
$500 million, significant law-enforcement presence at every school in our state. the white house wouldn t weigh in on calls for broward county sheriff s got israel to step down or be investigated. president trump lashed out at deputy scot peterson and possibly others for not rushing you in school to take on the shooter, saying he would have done it differently. there weren t exactly medal of honor winners, the way they performed was frankly disgusting. i really believe you don t know until you test it. i really believe i would run income even if i didn t have a weapon. i think most of the people in this room would ve done that. president trump promised if congress doesn t act soon to ban so-called bump stocks used by the shooter in the las vegas massacre, he will do it himself. while he hasn t mentioned the minimum wage for buying a rifle, he supports the concept and says he is prepared to go toe-to-toe with the nra.
