Well, why WOULDN'T Crow think that he is the law, or at least above it? He's paid zero price for any of his influence-purchasing, and the people who are on his payroll have paid zero price as well.

Billionaires should not exist. Not as human beings, but as a category. There is nothing anyone can do to deserve that much money. Bring back the 90% tax bracket. That would still leave Mr. Crow THREE HUNDRED MILLION dollars -- enough to keep him in statues and tea sets for the rest of his life.

Coincidence or not, Harlan Crow's attorney waited until the Judiciary Committee was at full strength before he tempted them to subpoena his client. Whether that subpoena gets issued is the question: I doubt Dianne Feinstein will vote to subpoena her late husband's business partner.

They don’t have to be right on the law. They just have to make a colorable argument and run out the clock. If the GOP takes the Senate in 24, case over.

You say the AP "stated it as fact that the new law is aimed at drag, and the law specifically includes coverage of “prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts” to include coverage of drag even when no actual nudity is included." Even though the AP cites no evidence or source for this. You do not take that position because as a journalist with integrity you know internally that there is no source for it. however, you know it to be true (because it is) so you simply avoid your journalistic principals by referencing the AP article. But you know their article lacks integrity and yet here you cite to it. I joined your subscription because i want independent journalism. Citing a bad article so you do not have to engage in the same journalistic error just seems shady.
