Political Factoid
"Prior to the mid-1800s,
most legal systems
implicitly accepted
wife beating as a
valid exercise of
a husband's authority
over his wife.
"In 1850, Tennessee
became the first state
in the United States to
explicitly outlaw wife
beating."
Not until 1920,
was wife-beating
illegal in every
one of the
United States
As a nation, we have come
a long way, but Clarence Thomas
and the Trump conservatives
on the U.S. Supreme Count
are now working to take
us back to the days and
ways of old.
