Runnin’ on Fumes: McConnell Quick Hits

Terri Whitehouse May 24th, 2007

Well, fumes, Red Bull, and Diet Coke, and Citrus Drop, that is. A lot have things have flown under my radar as I am entering my very last week of school before graduation. My sincere apologies.

Senator Mitch McConnell has introduced an amendment requiring a government-issued photo I.D. be shown in order to vote in any federal election. Of course, this proposed amendment makes no such provision for absentee ballots, which is how most voter fraud is committed, if I’m not mistaken. Read the long-winded press release from Sen. McConnell if you’re up to it. Does anyone else wonder if this is his passive-aggressive way to vote down the immigration bill without having to vote it down?

Sen. McConnell also introduced a bill called the the “Stop Over-Spending Act.” I like it. Simple. Forceful. Imperative. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Our senator then goes on to talk about Dems’ willful disregard for the economy and what have you. The press release is available here.

President George W. Bush nominated U.S. Attorney Amul Thapar for a post as Federal Judge U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

Discuss at will and please comment if I’ve missed anything else, as I’m sure I have. I’ve been looking at glaring screen and printed material for 14 hours or so, time to uncross my eyes.

    What kind of Kentucky background does this new judicial candidate have?

    I can’t find a whole lot from what I’ve had time to Google. Apparently a Cin/NKY attorney who I’ve seen mentioned along the names of Trey Grayson and other KY Reps.

    Thapar is a great man who is very open-minded. he would make for a fantastic federal judge in KY…all Kentuckians should be proud.
