If Larry Hall doesn't show up today for a confirmation hearing for his position as Secretary of Military and Veteran Affairs, Berger says they will issue a subpoena requiring him to come in.

Cooper has instructed Hall not to participate in the confirmation hearings at this point based on a court order that provides the advice and consent process of nominees cannot and does not begin until Cooper formally submits the nominees to the Senate president. Cooper has said he will not formally submit the nominees to the Senate until March 7 when there's a trial about the constitutionality of the confirmation hearings in question.

Cooper says holding the hearings violate the court order while Berger and the GOP says that it's clear Cooper has nominated Hall and therefore they can begin the advice and consent process.
 
This confirmation process did not become required until after Cooper won the election and the state legislature passed a law that then required many cabinet-level positions to get advice and consent that previously did not require it.

Berger plans to begin any sort of consent process? That's newsworthy.
 
That's a pretty terrible bill though. To call it a "repeal" of HB2 is generous.

Choices in Education Act of 2017

This bill repeals the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and limits the authority of the Department of Education (ED) such that ED is authorized only to award block grants to qualified states.

The bill establishes an education voucher program, through which each state shall distribute block grant funds among local educational agencies (LEAs) based on the number of eligible children within each LEA's geographical area. From these amounts, each LEA shall: (1) distribute a portion of funds to parents who elect to enroll their child in a private school or to home-school their child, and (2) do so in a manner that ensures that such payments will be used for appropriate educational expenses.

To be eligible to receive a block grant, a state must: (1) comply with education voucher program requirements, and (2) make it lawful for parents of an eligible child to elect to enroll their child in any public or private elementary or secondary school in the state or to home-school their child.

No Hungry Kids Act

The bill repeals a specified rule that established certain nutrition standards for the national school lunch and breakfast programs. (In general, the rule requires schools to increase the availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat free milk in school meals; reduce the levels of sodium, saturated fat, and trans fat in school meals; and meet children's nutritional needs within their caloric requirements.)

So they want me to pay people to homeschool their kids and for kids to eat unhealthy food at school.
 
Why should some doctor prevent a kid from having a chance at the NFL ?
