that marital rape was impossible by the very definition of marriage. Well, marriage according to 17th century witch burners anyway. Just wait for that to get passed into law by a red state legislature. Yes, the reich wing are that crazy.

Another of Hale's logical "gems"...The existence of laws against witchcraft (the pact with the devil sort) are proof that witches exist. His judgments and writing had a significant impact on the Salem Witch Trials.

I'd say, it's not the 1950's they want to take us back to, but the 1650's.
