An interesting argument from LaRose. Does he also think that any proposal by a state legislature shouldn't be considered if it isn't popular enough to garner 60% of the vote.

I had a music theory class at Kent State University that ended at 12:05. The last ten minutes of each class, we'd be up at the two blackboards with staffs on them, writing down whatever the teacher played on the piano. In the spring, we had the windows open, because the building wasn't air conditioned (70's).

Every day at noon, the bells in the administration building clocktower played the state song, "Beautiful Ohio." Every day.

They knew how this was going to play out, and even dumb Republicans are smart enough to see something threatening to their lousy jobs.

Any little miss princess on the field hockey team who isn't as good as another girl can expect her parents to make sure that other little girl gets a medical professional rooting around inside her, because the law specifically called for both internal and external exams.
