Todd Rokita want to know what’s happening in your bedroom and your doctor’s office. He’s happiest when he can smear rape-victim children on national entertainment television networks. He dreams of a world where women have no rights, and where he decides if you’re a human or not.
Oh, Charles…and what about the little humans who have not yet been born?

if the job of a prosecutor is to not pick and choose which crimes they go after, maybe this should be broadened to include county sheriffs who’ve decided they can determine which laws and executive orders are “null and void”.
If Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears is wrong, then so is Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush. Fix both issues.

It’s definitely an interesting question you raise. If we don’t intend to let local prosecutors make local decisions based on local priorities, then what is the purpose of that being a locally decided political office up for election? Mears makes a pretty good argument for prioritizing… as long as we have violent crime to address, maybe we need to focus our limited resources on that rather than trying to criminalize pregnant women and doctors and recreational marijuana users. The people who are outraged by his prioritization are the same people who scream about violent crime in Indianapolis (including here in the IBJ comment section), and also the same people who underfund our local government so that it can’t effectively address everything all at once. But it’s probably too much to expect consistency and logic from the right wing.
Joe with his normal “what about” deflection. Yes, Joe, an executive order mask “mandate” is exactly the same as an abortion law.
Chuck, thanks for proving Steve’s point. If the state wants to remove discretion at the local level, they should do remove it across the board.
Maybe go read Quakenbush’s statement and get back to me about how it’s not an issue.
Also, rather ironic that Quakenbush goes on about how the Legislature didn’t go back into session and it was Speaker of the House Todd Huston, a resident of Hamilton County same as Quakenbush, who *repeatedly* refused Eric Holcomb when the Governor offered to call the Legislature into session, and during an entire session refused to take up the resolutions introduced in the House that would have ended the mask mandate immediately.
The folks upset about the mask mandates should be taking out your anger on Bray and Huston, not Holcomb.
What’s funny is everyone’s party affiliation is mentioned in that article (especially Democrats) EXCEPT Rokita. Are we supposed to just assume that as Chief Pinhead it’s a given he’s a Republican? What about the media/press from other locations reading this? Yes, we all know what a busybody he is, sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong, but everyone else?
