February 23, 1996 The Late Show with David Letterman
The legislation put forth by Democrats would guarantee 14 days of paid leave for workers affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) tried to speed the measure up for a vote on the Senate floor through a procedural maneuver, but an objection from Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) prevented the bill from bypassing the Republican-controlled health committee.
a cunning plan by the GOP to not win any elections again ever
The Chronicle of Higher Education covered the founding of TRACS after the federal investigations refused three times to grant them accrediting power. On September 4, 1991, Scott Jaschik wrote:
Education Secretary Lamar Alexander has set off a new debate over accreditation with his decision to grant federal recognition to the Transnational Association of Christian Schools. The association describes itself as “an accrediting agency for Christian institutions which believe in Biblical inerrancy, Biblical authority, the historicity of the first eleven chapters of Genesis including special creation as opposed to evolution, and other doctrines of the Gospel.”
Yes, while diversity was the real impetus, TRACS cloaked it in the religious language of Young Earth Creationism. Are we even surprised?
The Chronicle continued:
The controversy has sparked concern about the way the department manages its reviews of accrediting agencies. Thurston E. Manning, who recently retired as president of the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation, said he was “astonished” by the way Mr. Alexander had handled the case. He said he could not figure out why the Secretary would grant recognition to the group, but added: “Obviously, politics is the first thing that comes to mind.”
Members of Transnational praised Mr. Alexander and said that the criticism of their organization stemmed from hostility in higher education toward Christianity. They added that such hostility was the reason their accrediting group is needed.
Quelle Surprise.
Senators we NEED to pressure
Susan Collins (Maine) -- more moderate, and pro-choice. She is already getting a lot of pressure from voters in her state in general, and she has said she doesn't think there should be a vote before the inauguration.
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) -- more moderate, pro-choice. Also verbally said she would oppose a vote on a nominee.
Mitt Romney (Utah) -- the enemy of our enemy is our friend. The only GOP senator to vote to convict Trump at the impeachment trial. He hasn't confirmed his stance yet.
Cory Gardner (Colorado) -- facing a tough reelection in a blue state. The most vulnerable senator who is still up in the air.
Lamar Alexander (Tennessee) -- institutionalist, and about to retire AND
Pat Roberts (Kansas) -- institutionalist, and about to retire. These men don't have to be scared of retaliation. We just need to convince them that this will destroy the sanctity of the institution of the Senate.
Lindsay Graham (S. Carolina) -- I don't have much hope on this one, as he recently claimed he didn't say in 2016 that if this EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED, the Senate would need to wait. But harass him anyways! It's worth a shot.
Not to sound dramatic, but the first six are going to decide the direction of our lives for the next forty years.
Call/text/email your senators!
