Two things. First, Kirsten Sinema can get fucked, she seems to have screwed every person who's ever come into contact with her, especially her constituents in Arizona. But second, this is the most ridiculous lawsuit I've ever heard of.
This is the kind of corn fried bullshit one can expect from these fucking Southern States. Marriage isn't sacred, it's not even all that important. I think if we reduced it down to contract law like it's should be, things would be a lot simpler. In fact limiting marriage contracts to 20, 30, or 40 year lengths and adding in specific stipulations would probably improve a lot of people's experience with it.
P.S. also a not quite third thing. Her lawyer's last name is Epstein. And I just realized how much it really must fucking suck for anybody who has that last name right now.

I partially disagree with your second part but not because of any sacredness of marriage, but because once in a marriage a lot of finances and life decisions are made that can fuck a person's life if suddenly up rooted. I feel like this law is an improvement on alimony because it's a one time payment and the person that fucked it has to pay.
Really, I just like when shitty people get their comeuppance.

I don't know how these alienation of affection laws work, but I would hope the spouse involved in the affair would also have to pay since it's not like they don't have any agency, either.
And yeah, I get your point about the marriage thing - if one of the people in the marriage decides to go fucking around, their spouse should have the option to cut that short without being buried in bills for it - the cheater should have to pay it all, and if the person they cheated with is also made to pay, that make sense, too.

Admittedly, I also don't know the law to the letter. I'm basing some of my opinion on OP saying spouse in their comment.
It's one thing when the outside cheater doesn't know that their fuck buddy is married, and it's another when they do know. If you willingly engage in an action that destabilizes someone's life because you want to get your fuck on, there should be monetary consequential.
I have no patience for cheaters, especially in a monogamous relationship. Again not because of sanctity of marriage,but because of the betrayal of trust and monetary consequences.

Why is this bitch in the news

She's one of those politicians that seemingly has no support from anyone and infuriates quite a lot of people.
Once she got into office and started pulling a lot of her shit, Democrats were pretty much done with her. Since she had a "D" after her name, no Republican was going to support her from the jump, of course.
Something tells me she is absolutely toxic to deal with on a personal level, too.

Feels like an attempt to distract us from the madness of the administration's antics.

Ugh, Sinema. Fucking traitor to the working class and a stain on the social work profession. She was even homeless as a child, allegedly. Yet she licked those government boots and took that corporate money. Fuck her.

I'm the only one who doesn't give a fuck about politicians escapades? as long as everyone who fucks is a consenting adult IDGAF. that's like bullshit telenovela drama. as long as they do their job, their bullshit shouldn't be my bullshit.
chances are I have actual grievances with them about their building policies. how they cum isn't one of my grievances (as long as it involves only consenting adults)

Well, it was one of her employees, so there is definitely a questionable power dynamic here for sure.

way too many cases of sexual harassment and even rape are treated as "affairs" they aren't. Wasn't there a recent case of an "affair" that was actually a rape that ended in suicide, but the press treated it as just an affair.
if it is just a genuine affairs, I don't give a fuck. otherwise, straight to jail.

While I understand and appreciate the sentiment, I actually think it's important for a variety of reasons, the main ones being:
Although I don't care in the general sense, I do think it often decreases their ability to be good politicians.

you're not wrong, they are already bought and owned by corporations, an affair won't corrupt them, they are all corrupted by default. worrying about blackmail is like a non issue compared to lobbying.

She seems nice.

With nearly everything that woman did, you can just tell she thinks she is really quite something.

She was acting out the last nail going into the coffin of her career.

Heather Ammel contends in a lawsuit that she and husband Matthew had “a good and loving marriage” and “genuine love and affection”
That woman Heather Anmel is insane, her husband was unfaithful and that is 100% on him. Sinema never promised to be faithful to a woman she probably never met, but the husband of the crazy wife obviously did.
The marriage probably wasn't as loving as she thought.
Absolutely insane, a third party that is with someone who is married never promised anything, and hence also didn't break a promise. It's insane how people are so dense, and blame anybody else but the person they are married to that actually made a promise. For the state to allow such cases is insane!!!

These are remenents of times when divorce needed a reason. Common law stuff.
The issue with holding the spouse responsible is it can keep someone in an abusive relationship so we got rid of those barriers.
There are only a few of these cases a year and they almost never lead anywhere. Most judges feel the same way as you on it.
A quick search shows that North Carlonia is the only state that really has a lot of activity around it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alienation_of_affections

Looking at how many voters get played is another reason why I don't take the average idiot seriously.
