****IF THEY WERE***** in-state, how can they be arrested? or dragged to the statehouse? why? what is the statute under which they are subject to this?
Anyone? I tried to google this but couldn’t find anything
and the fact that the Rev. is African American does not negate the offensiveness of the billboard, nor its inherent racist message. Read up on it- even the child in the picture and her family is upset. especially as they never gave permission for the organization to use her photo.
Yes, Legion, good post, 12:51 PM. It was a little long though so I read the first part. The end is equally or more important so maybe would break it up into 2 posts.
I think the state cops can’t cross state lines, cmu. They are hiding becasue there isn’t a quorum to vote. They know if there was a vote, the republicans will win, as it should be, as it was the will of the people who elected a Republican majority.
It is a simple majority vote in indiana but not in Wisconsin.
AH nitpicker! Of course I meant Quebec City, know nothing about the surroundings. So I;m thinking of flying NYC->Toronto, train to Quebec (oops, CITY) then flying back. Or would it be better to roundtrip both? I see QC > NYC fares are quite high.

cmu, they are not in state, they are holed up in Illinois.

dibs, i know about the quorum reqmt. but if they were in-state, how can they be arrested? dragged to the statehouse? why?
Obviously legion you didn’t read the early posts re that billboard or you would know it wasn’t I who brought it up. Better luck next time.

“Frequently, but not routinely, legion.
Likelihood of reading is inversely correlated with length of post ;-)”
My turn to agree with the Pasty Brit.
