More conservative hijinks

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on March 17, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Two things pointed out to me in the comments for my last post that, while likely to increase your blood pressure, are worth knowing about:

From Shelley: Human Events Online: Ten Bills to Battle Judicial Activism — a list of ten bills that have been introduced by conservatives in order to gain more control over our judicial system. HR 3920 is only one example of what’s going on.

From Todd: Tenn. County Officials Seek to Ban Gays — Tennessee’s Rhea county, already notorious for annually celebrating the conviction of John T. Snopes for daring to teach evolutionism in school (even though that decision was later overturned by the state’s Supreme Court), is asking for Tennessee’s criminal code to be updated to allow the county to charge homosexuals with “crimes against nature.”

“We need to keep them out of here,” said Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the motion.
