N.D. House Fails to Override Trans Pronoun Veto
Post Date: 2023-04-03 19:49:13 by Charles_Byrd

The North Dakota House of Representatives fell seven votes short Monday of overriding a veto by Gov. Doug Burgum of a bill that would prohibit public schools and state agencies from requiring the use of pronouns that don't correspond to an individual's biological sex. The GOP holds veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate, and the Senate overruled the veto Friday with a 37-9 vote, meaning the House needed two-thirds, or 63 votes, in a chamber with an 82-12 edge in Republicans over Democrats to override the veto of Senate Bill 2231. But 24 Republicans and all 12 Democrats voted against the override, with the final vote 56-36. Click for Full Text!

Israel authorized on Sunday setting up a national guard under far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has said it would focus on Arab unrest, while political rivals accused him of setting up a sectarian "militia." The previous government had begun moves to set up an auxiliary police force to tackle internal political violence following pro-Palestinian protests in mixed Jewish-Arab areas during the Gaza Strip war of May 2021. That government fell before the force was finalized. Click for Full Text!

Instead, first lady Jill Biden and "high-profile representatives" might be sent in order to avoid the appearance the U.S. president is snubbing the royal family, sources told The Telegragh.

The Obscure Maritime Law That Ruins Your Commute

What with everything going on in the world, stewing over an obscure, century‐old maritime law might seem odd. But the Jones Act really does warrant such consternation. It’s not just a terrible law that hurts you, me, and everyone we know—especially if they live in Puerto Rico or drive to work on the East Coast. It’s also a cautionary tale against government industrial policies, which can have unintended consequences far beyond higher prices or budget overrun. The Jones Act, formally known as Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, was ostensibly intended to ensure adequate domestic shipbuilding capacity and a ready supply of merchant mariners and ships ...

Two unlikely Senate allies want to turn up the heat for executives who lead their banks to ruin, as politicians grapple with the fallout from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. On Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, along with Sens. Mike Braun and Catherine Cortez Masto, introduced a bill called "Failed Bank Executives Clawback Act," which would require that federal regulators "claw back" compensation of executives from the five-year period before their bank fails.

This Year's Farm Bill Threatens To Be a Bigger Monster Than Ever
Post Date: 2023-03-29 21:52:33 by Charles_Byrd

In many ways, the farm bill up for consideration this year in Congress embodies all that is wrong with American lawmaking. It's a massive piece of legislation, combining unrelated matters to commit the U.S. government to spending mind-bending amounts of money at a single go. Passed roughly every five years, farm bills are less about legislating in any deliberative sense than they are about lawmakers packaging a trillion-plus dollars of goodies and committing taxpayers to fund them for years to come—and then doing it over and over again. "Every five years, Congress passes legislation that sets national agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and forestry policy, commonly ...

Blinken Wants $2 Billion to Rival China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative

On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged the Senate to authorize $2 billion in spending for infrastructure projects globally, but seemed to be rebuffed by Jim Risch, a prominent Republican senator from Idaho who expressed skepticism about where such money could be found. In wake of a Republican-led drive to reduce government expenditure in order to alleviate the federal budget deficit, Risch’s questions about the feasibility of Blinken’s suggestion indicated the latest obstacle in longstanding U.S. government attempts to set up a rival to communist China’s $1-trillion Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Federal Courts Clash Over Financial Watchdog's Constitutionality

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit on Thursday ruled that the way in which Congress funds the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is, in fact, constitutional. The ruling contradicts an opinion published in October by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which held that the agency's funding "violates the Constitution's structural separation of powers." The Supreme Court, which had already agreed to review the 5th Circuit case, will likely resolve the circuit split next year. The argument against the CFPB's constitutionality is simple. The Constitution's appropriations clause requires that monies drawn from the treasury be authorized by ...
