Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Breaking news: Hillary Clinton corresponding with a number of Nigerian royals; requests made to hide large sums of money; possible connection to Clinton Foundation? More at 11.

I don't really get this stuff, if this is a way to use some obscure political jiujitsu move to get around the senate, why haven't the GOP used it before, what is stopping them from doing it again? Is it some stupid gentleman's agreement that only holds up when they don't want to go crazy and pass something super insane?

Probably because all it accomplishes is getting a bill on Obama's desk where he has to veto it. And sending a bill to the President that he has already promised will definitely be vetoed doesn't make you look like a winner.

Edit: They want the headlines to read "Obama imperils government in defense of known baby-killers!" when it's more likely they'll read "Congress continues to accomplish jack and/or poo poo"

I was thinking more like, I never pay attention to the details of who comes and goes from public bathrooms, not enough to know if someone is transgender. Who does?

Bathrooms are HEAVILY monitored and policed by the populace. Going into the wrong bathroom can actually be life-threatening for a transgender person.
