The Tennessee Legislature, unfamiliar with pushing for constitutional doubt, proves last week that it is ready to spend more time and money in court defending its volatile vouchers and immigration policy. I did.

First, Gov. Bill Lee’s $430 million private school voucher plan noses with the constitutional requirement to exclude undocumented immigrant children and provide services to all children. will be awarded. (Costs are expected to rise every year.) In a special session last week, lawmakers rejected the proposal to include those children in the bill.

They say they are working on a mission to eliminate undocumented immigrants from President Donald Trump, and Congress also has a constitutionally unwavering $5.5 million to establish a confidential division in the security sector. They passed the plan and established a confidential department to join immigration and customs enforcement agencies. A quest to drive America away most of its workforce.

Thanks to the majority of Hispanic voters who supported Trump, deportation agents could soon knock on the doors of immigrants across the country.

Another plus is that there are no around 100,000 undocumented people working in restaurants, hotels and chicken factories in Tennessee. Once they are shipped, we can teach young people a little work ethic, such as how to put a ladder on shingles at 5am, how to stick to the groove when it falls . Avoid rusty nails that can cause infection. It’s definitely the worst job, but at night I drink more beer and tequila so I kill two birds with one stone.

Anyway, the American Civil Liberties Union is ready to sue the state over this immigration enforcement bill. This creates a rank-E felony for local elected officials voting for sanctuary urban policy.

Sanctuary cities are illegal in Tennessee. But it doesn’t stop undocumented immigrants moving here and moving their fingers into the bones, so the rest of us can party like in 2099.

Critics of the bill say some are irrefutable, as elected officials should be able to vote on their conscience under the Constitution. The Constitution isn’t that long anyway, and the governor’s guarantees are not precisely comforting.

Following last week’s Superdarper session, when lawmakers settled immigration, education, flood relief and transportation in one dive, Lee said: The General Assembly believes that it is the constitution. ”

Tennessee House passes immigration enforcement bill. The ACLU is planning legal challenges

I hate being a bearer of bad news, but it’s not because Congress thinks something is constitutional. They have not had much track record in recent years.

So questions about the bill would be “ferret out,” Lee said. But for now, Congress believes it is a constitution, so let’s move forward, he said. Or at the back, depending on your take.

Turning to the not-so-distant past, Democrats complained that these measures were similar to hunting slaves who fled to Nazi Germany and the free state about 150 years ago.

Republican leaders have condemned these comments and pushed to risk the state’s budget for a suspicious proposal that children would go to private schools to establish secret police (this is the dream police force) (Not).

Incidentally, they failed to spend estimated costs on immigration enforcement bills to detain immigrants in local prisons. Well, they can always push it up into the county. They also forgot to mention the cost of brown shirts to equip the new Department of Safety Secrets. But I heard there’s a special blue light in Kmart (Oops, they’re out of business).

This isn’t over – quite

Some of the House’s most conservative Republicans blasted leaders later last week.

Voucher’s opponent, Rep. Todd Warner of Chapel Hill, not only calls him financially irresponsible, but also “blatant abuse of taxpayer funds,” but also has been challenged by House leaders, and he is completely entitled. They accuse him of refusing to allow discussions.

“They have to deal with lawmakers like children and put our names on the list just for the opportunity to talk to us.

Warner also claimed that they linked the voucher bill to disaster relief funds for flood victims in East Tennessee.

“It’s the betrayal of the very people we’ve been chosen to serve. It’s not conservatism, it’s corruption,” Warner said.

Dixon’s Republican Rep. Jody Barrett also criticized the plan, saying it would create a massive qualification program that would force the state of “fiscal cliffs.”

Neither was given the opportunity to speak during the floor discussion.

People wearing the “choice” stickers of education have been flooded with Cordell Hull, but their only argument is that people want money. Aside from putting yourself on government nipples, the lobbyists reminded me of Glengarry Glen Ross in the film, but rather than “always closed,” their mantra is always “winning.” did. After all, it’s most important.

“A little bit of this/a little bit of that.”

Phil Williams of NewsChannel 5 reported that President Trump has cancelled the federal government, which had been monitoring the inconsistency in fundraising for US Rep. Andy Ogles campaigns.

The report comes a week after Ogres sponsored the legislation to amend the constitution to allow Trump to serve in the third term. Under current law, someone can only serve two terms as president.

This is not a shock, considering the president forgiven and commute for the roughly 1,500 people who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, causing deaths.

But it could raise an eyebrow or two.

Even before his election, Ogles began misleading people. His resume has little truth, if any. He had no degree from Vanderbilt’s College of Business and, as he claimed, was not a real economist and may have done a few other offensive things.

Ogles refuses to comply with Federal Election Commission requirements, which resulted in a FBI financial investigation. The House of Representatives Ethics Panel has made further investigations after finding he is likely to violate the federal government’s campaign finance law, primarily by reporting inflated personal loans to make office bids appear stronger. Recommended.

Is this just a practice of the FEC, Congressional Ethics Bureau, the FBI’s End, or Depanging?

A little bullying

Calhoun Republican Sen. Adam Lowe cried last week that he needed a voucher to keep kids from grabbing their bloody noses at school.

But Republicans question a young man named Aiden Pratt of Wilson County, who had a gal questioning the House Education Committee’s private school voucher bill.

He admitted he was doing some kind of work for the Democrats, so maybe he deserves it.

Asked if the state knows that the state has put an extra $3.8 billion in the k-12 over the last decade, Pratt says, “It means nothing” as teachers still have to take on a side job. He said. He said the state should have added another $6 billion.

“Hopefully, Mr. Pratt, the lesson we’ve learned over the past four years is where egg prices win, and here’s where they’ll change here in the future,” said Scott Sepicky, a Republican MP from Karleka, who ran the dog and pony show. I’ll do that.” t is $10. ”

First of all, the next time someone says “Next time” I vomit. Secondly, even during the recent snowstorm, we never saw eggs for $10. But grocery stores everywhere squealed with what heck gou from hungry people.

Third, in honor of Cepcle Cepky, does the price of the egg involve pouring $430 million into a private school voucher scheme that will turn the term “fiscal conservative” upside down?

Gino Bruso, a Republican MP from Brentwood, later said anyone who studied mathematics in Tennessee should be able to grasp that private school vouchers are pretty much. He said two-thirds of them have subsidized students who already attend private schools to attend private schools and do little to help the state’s poorest children.

Certainly, Platt was not polished accurately. But despite having lawmakers admit he was only 18 years old, he hangs out there saying that the teacher is struggling to make a living on a starting wage of less than $50,000. I did.

Bulso is a lecture to the public. He introduced suspicious bills to punish members who protested the house a year ago, and later fought measures to ban Indigenous marriages.

He also refused to answer when he believed the voucher bill had been heard in a fair hearing when Republicans blocked the committee’s debate.

That “slash fund”

Republican Sen. Mark Pody questioned the $100 million response to the governor and the recovery fund, saying he allows too much discretion to give money. It’s all part of the Hurricane Relief Plan lawmakers passed last week.

“I’m really happy with everything we do for Helen, but it’s like we’re making a slash fund for the governor,” he said, representing part of Metronashville. Podi, a Lebanese lawmaker, said.

Podi said he is more comfortable with the administrative agencies that need to come to Congress for funding “not only are they sitting there for $100 million”;

Readers may recall that Congress approved the “Slash Fund” when the first iteration of Lee’s voucher plan was approved in 2019. It took for former speaker Glenn Casada to break the tie vote and flip, and it took nearly 45 minutes for Knoxville Rep. Jason Zachary to change his vote to “Yes” under Knox County guarantee. . T will be in the voucher area.

Casada defended the hidden line item in the supplemental budget, saying that lawmakers knew it was there and could oppose it. That vote led to a six-year investigation by the FBI. But we know who’s at the helm of Trump, but everything could be forgiven.

Incidentally, Franklin Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson assured Podi that everything was fine.

Take you to prison

The U.S. Department of Justice ordered Sen. Brian Kelsey to report it to prison by 2pm on February 24th, sentenced to 20 months in prison for a federal campaign finance violation.

The former Germantown Republican, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, is heading to the Ashland satellite camp in Ashland, Kentucky. If he is unable to surrender there, he can report to the local US ex-sect office by noon that day.

Despite the order that the US Supreme Court refuses to hear his case and that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will serve his term in prison, he is still fighting it. You have to give him credit. When he gets off, he gets burned. The problem is that it is difficult to betray a guilty plea.
