I was trying to remember the last time our government looked forward thinking. It's been a while, maybe 1990?

Since Senator Menendes is a Democratic from New Jersey, this situation
presents a serious example in the question of "nature versus nurture". I'm fairly certain that given that he, a Democrat, and Chris Christie, a Republican, are both from NJ, it must be that nurture is the dominant operating force. Quote:

Details of the federal indictment of Gov. Chris Christie's "acquaintances" are nicely presented in this article:
U.S. Indictment Details Plotting in New Jersey Bridge Scandal NY Times - KATE ZERNIKE - MAY 1, 2015 Quote:
So with trials and sentencing in the near future, it will be interesting to see if deals are made and Christie joins this elite group. Wildstein's attorney has already said publically that documents exist that involve Chris Christie, himself. My political reaction is that Christie either knew, or should have known. . |

Sorry, my post above went into the wrong thread.
Maybe the mods can move it to the "baltimore" thread. |

This man is planning to be the GOP nominee for President of the United States.
Bobby Jindal administration says Louisiana won't recognize gay marriage yet. The Times Picayune - Julia O'Donoghue - June 26, 2015 Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration says gay marriage will currently not be offered or recognized in Louisiana, but his staff acknowledged it's likely coming. … Local court clerks issue licenses in the other 63 parishes, but the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association and Attorney General Buddy Caldwell both advised them Friday to wait 25 days to begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples. Mayor Mitch Landrieu criticized Jindal and Caldwell after couples were denied licenses in New Orleans. "We are a nation of laws, and Louisiana is no exception. The State has no legal authority to delay issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples even a moment longer," Landrieu said in a written statement. ————————— Bobby Jindal: ‘Let’s just get rid of the court’ MSNBC - Adam Howard - 6/27/15 In the wake of Friday’s historic Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality, Republicans did not hold back their rage – but few politicians went as far as 2016 candidate Gov. Bobby Jindal. The Louisiana Republican, who launched a longshot bid for the presidency last week, suggested that the 5-4 ruling, which made same-sex marriage legal throughout the nation, was cause for disbanding the entire Supreme Court. Although several other 2016 GOP candidates came out in opposition to the decision, with a few even suggesting the need for a Constitutional Amendment to overturn it, they all stopped short of advocating for what amounts to an undemocratic insurrection. |

Jindal was, is and always will be an asshole. The only reason he's running for the nomination is to increase his public speaking fee.
There's no way the money behind the party would let him be a contender. They just let him run to make the guys they want look less bad. But to be fair, he's probably surrounded himself with yes men who are telling him half the country agrees with him, so I guess he's stupid too. Next he'll want to punish those straight parents who produce gay babies.

GOP Senator Ted Cruz can't help himself.
He's broken a taboo of the Senate, by calling the Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, a LIAR ! And now his fellow GOP Senators are asking one another: Where is Joseph Welch when you need him ? Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency? |

You mean the GOP Senators are just finding out what everybody else already knew?
