MN supreme court collectively has its head up its ass
Aren't they a blue state?
How the hell can this even be a thing?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

That's weird. What if she wasn't drunk the rapist did the same thing?

The name says it all....outside a Dinkytown bar....
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I may have to drive up to MN and stalk some bars to make a little tater chip money. Before Slow Joe taxes my mileage.

It's just a nickname for a neighborhood in Minneapolis. There's also an area across the river in St. Paul known as 'Frogtown', and of course St. Paul itself was originally known as "Pig's Eye" for a time.
Just about every city of any size has something similar. My hometown has a area that is still referred to as 'Goosetown' because back in the late 1800s people in that area kept geese and other poultry in cages and runs in their back yards — even though the geese and other critters are long gone and most of the original "Goosetown" is now the location of the UW campus dorms and other buildings.

TPK, there is a long tradition of the courts treating things that are done while bombed on alcohol in a special world of their own.
Please note that the decision as I read it in your link is a diatribe against what the state legislature has done with the whole class of crimes involving mutual consent as a defense.
But in an entirely different direction, you are on to something about the feds changing the taxes on auto travel. The road system depends for the most part on gas taxes to pay for maintenance and construction. What IS gonna pay for the roads as we go to cars that use less and less gas, but continue to increase travel on the roads?

Re: How the hell can this even be a thing?
Coming back to the main point about the MN Supreme Court decision. I absolutely agree that it is wrong to coerce a drunken woman into sex. Did the court do the wrong thing? If MN law (and I don't know anything more about it than the link says) is that it is rape only if the victim is involuntarily drunk, and not forced to drink or given a disguised drug, did the SC have an alternative?
