South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard vetoed a bill requiring transgendered students to use bathrooms/locker rooms that matched their physical gender basically because he didn't want to deal with the poo poo storm of lawsuits that were promised to come the state's way. How surprisingly pragmatic.

gradenko_2000 posted:Noted moderate legislative body the 114th United States Congress. There was a WaPo article yesterday about this and how the 2010 gerrymander has killed bipartisanship and moderate positions because races are at the primary level now. Representatives don't have to appeal to the other party since they aren't the threat to their seat - it's someone else who would say they aren't X enough so vote for them instead.

Darth Walrus posted:According to the original news article, he was 13-16 (and his victim was 8-10) when all this happened, sooo... kind of, yeah. Sounds like it was a bit more sustained and extreme than most cases mentioned in that article, though, so yeah, giant . Oh, doesn't look like he had to register as a sex offender and he wasn't charged until an adult so those are pretty big differences.

Lindsey Graham's full speech today about blocking Obama's Supreme Court nominee is incredible. You're basically seeing him work through his cognitive dissonance as he's talking.

Hennepin County in Minnesota (the state's most populous and the one with Minneapolis) will no longer use grand juries for police shootings. This is a pretty big deal, especially since this will include the Jamar Clark case. The County Attorney has said this has been in the works for a while but not surprising to see now on the heels of Anita Alvarez and Tim McGinty getting ousted yesterday for their handling of police shooting cases.

Xanderkish posted:Mind sourcing the Kenyan Muslim quote? I tried looking for it via google but couldn't bring up anything. Top result for "Frank Gaffney Obama Kenyan" http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/14/the-jihadist-vote/?page=all quote:— Another question yet to be resolved is whether Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States, a prerequisite pursuant to the U.S. Constitution. There is evidence Mr. Obama was born in Kenya rather than, as he claims, Hawaii. There is also a registration document for a school in Indonesia where the would-be president studied for four years, on which he was identified not only as a Muslim but as an Indonesian. If correct, the latter could give rise to another potential problem with respect to his eligibility to be president.

Joementum posted:The thing I've never understood is: if we fire all of the obviously terrible public school teachers that are only being protected by labor stooges, where does the more qualified and better performing replacement labor force come from? Former corporate employees who have real life experience and want to give back to the community without being bogged down by pesky poo poo like "professional training" and "teaching licenses".
