In the event that Evan Bayh wins the Indiana Senate race, Schumer could elect to recognize his seniority and give him chairmanship of the Banking committee instead of Sherrod Brown. Via American Banker.

FAUXTON posted:"I will be the law and order president" On this note, the New York Review of Books published an interesting essay on Obama and the rule of law, and his attempt to instill some kind of codified due process into counterterrorism efforts after the gunslinging Bush years. It's critical and fair, I am phone-posting or I would produce excerpts.

twistedmentat posted:I feel like with Trump it's more an paint samples, and anything darker than Eggshell gets blocked. There will not be roving bands of Trumpstaffel suppressing non-white voters. Trump's base of support is geriatric racists, petit-bourgeois suburban dipshits, and anime nazis with Asperger's. None of these groups are credible agents of violent intimidation.

but voter intimidation was a big part of the Nazi's electoral success. In many areas they had SA standing outside polls ready to pounce on anyone who was suspected of not voting the right way. I imagine Trump has supporters that would be more than happy to do that. The sad thing is that there really isn't a lot of recourse for people unless it was in view of a bunch of people that forced police to act, because I can see cops being really in the bag for Trump.

DOOP posted:NYDN owns, shame I usually thought of it as a Post level rag The Kane situation is a disaster. She was a major rising star for the party and would likely be running against Toomey or laying the groundwork for an eventual stab at the governor's mansion if she had kept her nose clean.

The same Chief Justice that got smacked down by the US Supreme Court for sitting in judgement on a case he originally prosecuted? Here's an overview. She definitely hosed up. She played hardball and lost.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Outing someone publicly, even if they're out privately to friends, is lovely regardless of how big of a piece of poo poo you are as a person. The absolute only time I am even remotely willing to accept it as an ethical journalistic practice is if that person is actively harming the LGBT community (e.g., if you're an elected official pushing policies that will harm the LGBT community and you're actively lying about being a member of that community.) Good news! He's a Republican.

McAlister posted:I just finished a stint registering voters at my local library in Colorado. When I would register people and they started bitching about Obama I would just say "great, here's your chance to register to vote against him." I found that having people at the table registering made other people more likely to stop and do it themselves. Since I was either on a college campus or in inner city districts, I felt the most important thing was to get as many people signed up as possible no matter the individual's stance.

They said New York was the most unfree state in the union and that it should spend less on public libraries and hospitals to be more free. Also, legal cousin-loving and raw milk gave freedom points.
