Delaware Liberal

Open Thread For September 13, 2017

Sanders Will Introduce Universal Health Care Bill. 15 D’s On Board. Sanders leads, Hillary whines about him. BTW, I checked. Neither Carper nor Coons are among the 15. Vouchers, anybody? How about phone calls instead? I’ll start.

Which reminds me.  Carper’s refusal to even consider single payer can be,  what are the words I’m looking for, a powerful campaign issue.  It lays out the question as starkly as possible: Whose side are you on, Tom?

Potters No Longer Deadbeats. For The Moment. Finally paid off that $119K lien right before sheriff’s sale. Hey, what were they gonna do? Live in his insurance office?  At least, he can still run in the 1st RD. Any word on a challenger?

WH Says FBI Should Definitely Investigate Comey. For, um, leaking unclassified information? That’s not a crime as long as the First Amendment exists, but, whatever. The big story is that they’re really trying to neutralize Comey. Don’t think it will work with Mueller.

Supreme Court Delays Redrawing Of Texas Districts. 5-4 decision. Russian judge gives Texas a Perfect 10.  Gorsuch will be the longest-lasting legacy of Trump.  A stolen seat.

US Congress Votes To Limit Civil Asset Forfeiture.  Trump had rolled back Obama protections. Strong bipartisan support for the measure.  If Congress can do it, there is no excuse for the Delaware General Assembly to allow this form of legalized thievery by cops for cops.

Route 9 Library A Difference-Maker? Maybe. I hope that, even though it was a Gordon innovation, Matt Meyer pushes to enable the full potential of the project to be realized.  It could be a boon to an under-served part of the County.  Perhaps  Tom Gordon’s most positive legacy.

What do you want to talk about?
