News of the Stupid, or Etymology Does Not Work That Way:

CNN posted:

Soon, there will be no more manholes in the city of Berkeley, California. There will also be no chairmen, no manpower, no policemen or policewomen.

No, that doesn't mean a whole city will be without committee leaders and law enforcement. It means that words that imply a gender preference will be removed from the city's codes and replaced with gender-neutral terms, according a recently adopted ordinance.

The city voted Tuesday night to replace gendered terms in its municipal codes, like "manhole" and "manpower," with gender-neutral ones like "maintenance hole" and "human effort."


The item passed without discussion or comments and was not controversial, said Berkeley City Council member Rigel Robinson, the bill's primary author.

"There's power in language," Robinson said. "This is a small move, but it matters."

The revised city documents also will replace instances of gendered pronouns, such as "he" and "she" with "they," according to the ordinance.

Berkeley's municipal code currently contains mostly masculine pronouns, the office of the city manager said in a letter to the mayor and city council.

"Having a male-centric municipal code is inaccurate and not reflective of our reality," Robinson said. "Women and non-binary individuals are just as entitled to accurate representation. Our laws are for everyone, and our municipal code should reflect that."

I swear they do this just so Fox can make people's grandparents angry over stupid nonsense.

It's kind of a fundamental, reasonable problem with the system, with a weak failsafe.

The President is the head of the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch includes all law enforcement agencies, following the laws that the Congress passes. Naturally, the Executive Branch simply can't enforce every single law completely, there will never be the manpower/money for that. So, the President has the ability to set enforcement priorities on certain crimes (and somehow always locks up more black people).

So since the President can set enforcement priorities, he can then tell people *not* to enforce crimes. Which could include his crimes! Plus, he has hire/fire power for basically everyone with decision-making authority in the Executive Branch! Hell, he has unchecked pardon ability for federal crimes, enshrined in the Constitution!

Really, you don't want some crazy Attorney General ordering the FBI to charge the President with a crime. I mean, look at all the wingnut Republicans that thought Obama was born in another country and therefore an usurper!

So, current DOJ policy, in looking for an out, basically decided that the above is a big legal clusterfuck. Meanwhile, Congress has a very clear impeachment/conviction power, in the Constitution and everything! Plus, you could always go after an ex-President for some crime after they're done in office.

So the policy makes rational sense. It's just too bad that Congress is that safety valve.

not that our system is good(its garbage) but we're in this position because Congress has basically abdicated all of its power since 9/11 because you can always blame it on the President(who is term limited) and keep your endless grift going
