1) DOJ To Charge Bob Menendez With Corruption: Report

2) WOW- THIS IS JUST HATEFUL!!!
Missouri state Sen. Ed Emery, a Republican, introduced legislation last week that would make it a crime for any public employee to issue a marriage license to same-sex couples. "SB 555 is a shameful and desperate attempt to halt the undeniable momentum behind marriage equality in Missouri. No Missourian should face the threat of being fired for supporting same-sex marriage," said Pamela Merritt of Progress Missouri. The bill has not yet been assigned to a committee.

3) Don Young Suggests Wolves Could Help Get Rid Of Homeless People
Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) suggested Thursday that the solution to homelessness is wolves.
Young made the comment during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing during an exchange with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. He was arguing that gray wolves should be taken off the endangered species list, criticizing the National Park Service and his congressional colleagues who seek to protect the animals. “We've got 79 congressmen sending you a letter, they haven’t got a damn wolf in their whole district,” Young added. “I’d like to introduce them in your district. If I introduced them in your district, you wouldn’t have a homeless problem anymore.”

4) A California lawyer proposed a ballot measure that would make sodomy a capital offense - with a Bullet to the head of gay men.
This idiot lawyer in California proposed this ballot measure that would make homosexuality a capital crime PUNISHABLE BY A "BULLET TO THE HEAD OF A GAY PERSON." . (although not all gay people do this, btw). Here's the info on that ridiculous ballot measure:
On 24 February 2015, attorney Matthew McLaughlin filed a proposed ballot
measure titled "The Sodomite Suppression Act" with the California
Attorney General's office. The initiative would make any homosexual sex a
crime punishable by death: The People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any
person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for
purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head
or by any other convenient method.
5) The Alabama Supreme Court on March 4 ordered probate judges across the state to halt the distribution of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, defying federal court rulings in January overturning the state's marriage equality ban. "The Alabama Supreme Court has done a disservice to itself, not to mention a massive injustice to the people of Alabama, in allowing itself to be used to temporarily obstruct the freedom to marry," said Evan Wolfson, president of the LGBT group Freedom to Marry.
