Nothing says 'traditional values' like making it so legally difficult for married women to vote that they collectively decide to stop taking their spouses' names.
Cons will be left wondering how their own voting bills accidentally became the most effective campaign for maiden names in history.

There are two visions of policing in conflict here:
Do police exist to enforce the will of the government ON the people, as an occupying, pacifying force?
Or do they exist to protect public safety and serve the people?
How they respond to anything less than 'perfect compliance' gives our answer.

One of the obvious concerns about the administration's killing spree at sea was that if the US government would lawlessly kill people on the high seas just because the administration spuriously labeled them as "terrorists", it might do so elsewhere—including in the United States.
