Convicted State Auditor, Kathy McGuiness, is still ridiculous. (See below).
The only operative unifying theory in all of these (“INDEPENDENT STATE LEGISLATURE” THEORY) cases is “Republicans are entitled to govern even if voters prefer Democrats.”
I have no doubt that “Republican Rule by Divine Right” could get 5 votes in the Supreme Court now.
Also, on a related note…Remember when Chris Coons worked so feverishly to rush a record number of Trump appointed federal judges into service? I wonder if he has any regrets.
Late stage capitalist can’t be content with collecting most of the money at the top of the food chain, they need all of the money. And when they see a juicy opportunity to squeeze even more profits out of our Alabama manufacturing plants they bloody well take it. I mean, being anti-union is a good start, but (undocumented, trafficked) child labor right here in the good ‘ol Yoo, Ess, Ay …now that’s the ticket!
From Reuters:
A subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker’s assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory.
Underage workers, in some cases as young as 12, have recently worked at a metal stamping plant operated by SMART Alabama LLC, these people said. SMART, listed by Hyundai in corporate filings as a majority-owned unit, supplies parts for some of the most popular cars and SUVs built by the automaker in Montgomery, its flagship U.S. assembly plant.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, at least three of the children at the center of this case are immigrants. The Reuters investigation began after a 14-year-old Guatemalan girl went missing back in February. The girl’s father confirmed that his daughter and two sons — the oldest being 15 — all worked at the plant.
