Glad to see, at least on one occasion, the Florida Senate decide to actually stand up to DeSantis and reject this horrible nominee.
For the Florida Senate, with a Republican supermajority and typically a rubber stamp for DeSantis, to actually stand up to DeSantis and reject one of his nominees kind of puts an exclamation point on just how bad that nominee was.
Sorry DeSantis, Engel v Vitale is still the law of the land.
Didn’t see anything about preaching Jesus but more of a anti-work stance.
Speir then discussed at length his concerns about “wokeness” on campus. While he does not want New College to reject all aspects of that, he wants any dogmatic elements eliminated on campus.
“These aspects should not be incorporated into a curriculum, nor supported through school sponsored programs or activities,” he wrote. “One example of a dogmatic expression of wokeness is the assertion that America and its institutions are systemically racist and must be torn down.”
He makes clear he wants the board of trustees to be perpetually involved in changes.
It seems that it’s not over. It looks like Desantis has 45 days to reappoint him, time that will presumably be spent getting the legislature in line.
President Biden’s nominee for a federal judgeship in Washington state proved unable to answer simple questions about the Constitution from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) during her confirmation hearing.
“Tell me what Article V of the Constitution does,” Kennedy asked of Spokane County Superior Court Judge Charnelle Bjelkengren during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s proceedings Wednesday.
“Article V is not coming to mind at the moment,” Bjelkengren responded.
“How about Article II?” Kennedy pressed.
“Neither is Article II,” Bjelkengren blanked, leaving Kennedy scratching his head.
Biden nominated Bjelkengren to serve as a federal judge in the Eastern District of Washington.
Jesus told people radical things like, “All good, son of man! Just like, sin no more, dude!”
Encouraging people to be better than themselves? That’s dangerous. We should keep a close eye on those kinds of people. Much safer to fill your child’s school with sexual lunatics and professional victim manufacturers.
