"sew" = "sow." Reap what you sow, sew what you rip. Yes, I know I'm being that guy.

If the Bible had been written by a textiles-based society instead of by an agrarian society there'd be more sewing and less sowing in their metaphors (and probably fewer sheep too) but alas.

“Some legal analysts have noted that the conservatives basically reversed their position from the 2013 Shelby v. Holder case, in which they moved the power to enforce the 14th Amendment away from the federal government and towards the states. So now the law — as I understand it — is that the 14th Amendment is operative, except for the parts that aren’t, and only Congress can enforce it, except that if they do try to enforce it, they can’t. Good stuff.”

It’s Calvinball for me, but not for thee?
