Not much for separation of
powers this season,
Congressional Democrats have developed legislation to override
the Supreme Court decision on contraceptives. The bill, put
together in consultation with President Obama, would require
for-profit corporations like Hobby Lobby to include coverage for
contraception in employee health plans. #CantStopWontStop- The Environmental
Protection Agency quietly slipped a note into last
week’s Federal Register asserting its right to “garnish non-Federal
wages to collect delinquent non-tax debts owed the United States
without first obtaining a court order.” Oh, is that all? - Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah
Abdullah told supporters Tuesday that he needs more time
to decide whether to declare his own government after the Afghan
Independent Election Commission released preliminary results
showing him more than a million votes behind his rival. - Married women have dropped to just 45 percent of
all first-time U.S. mothers (and 25 percent of those under
23). Researchers say it’s less a matter of single moms and more
about parents shacking up without tying the knot. - Sexual orientation isn’t a basis for anti-discrimination
lawsuits in America, but a gay
Georgia music teacher is challenging his job dismissal on
grounds of gender discrimination. “When you fire somebody
because they are engaging in a same-sex marriage, I think that
pretty clearly fits,” said his lawyer. - The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
is bringing in Lisa B. Nelson, a former Visa executive who
worked in Newt Gingrich’s office when he was speaker, as its chief
executive. - Is this the soda
tax’s last stand?
