No tax $ to companies with mandatory arbitration for sexual assault cases

Thanks, Herring, for putting this one up.
I've been off the boards for a bit--sorta my own quest-for-reality after being witness to one too many beyond the incredulous musings/conspiracy theories that 'somehow' seem to blossom and flourish like a FOX out here in cyberspace---- and a little surprised this wasn't already a topic of vigorous debate here.
So truly, thanks again, I do hope folks will take the time to read the links provided.
Personally, my feelings surrounding both the details of the crime and the subsequent congressional vote seem too visceral for me to say much. Suffice it to say, Ms. Jones is incredibly strong and though Sen. Franken deserves serious kudos for getting this ammendment introduced, clearly she is the true American Hero here.

Wow....
Guess I gotta go walk-a-bout now.
Dang.

Frankens anti-rape amendment...

Un-freaking-believable. Thank you for posting this link, Miss Mab. I missed Stewart that night.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

Senator Franken takes it to the arbitrators.....
