Links for 03/13/13 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Emily's List, which is primarily about fundraising, not lobbying, is not mentioned directly in the article. Neither is the Catholic Church, but the abortion restriction in the bill implies that it was involved - and mainly to go after the person in HHS (not Sebelius) who put abortion into trafficking programs in the first place - mostly because women who have been prostitutes may be pregnant when rescued - essentially rape victims (which Hyde excludes from restriction anyway). The push and pull on both sides was just wrong. I am not sure it is about being a Democrat as much as in dealing with government policy and providers - with overreach on both sides.
Tom Cotton's colleagues have gone running for the door now that the Iranian Goverment has made them look like idiots. Obama hardly had to say a word (and he is the constitutional expert). Too funny. Not sure the Repubicans are having an easy time being Republicans.
O'Malley is not going to coordinate his candidacy with the Guardian. Whether there is one is not officially known. He will be the first president with Irish roots since, well, Obama. Its just a little early still to deal wih this. At most, O'Malley is going after early money. Nothing big until he can raise it from, you guessed it, O'Malley's List.
