New Plan for Protecting Genetic Privacy: Don't Get

(Also, don't be an immigrant.)A few weeks ago, the Justice Department quietly released proposed regulations that would permit the collection and permanent retention of DNA from anyone arrested for a federal crime, or any non-US person detained under federal authorities. As I wrote on Daily Kos when the regs came out, this sweeping change could ultimatel... (316 天前)

It's Not Choice, It's Inequality

Today the ACLU filed a lawsuit charging that Breckenridge County, Ky., and the U.S. Department of Education are violating the law by allowing sex-segregation in public schools. School districts across the country have been touting the “choice” that sex-segregated programs offer students and parents, but Breckenridge County is a perfect illustration of ... (316 天前)

The latest Civil Discourse comic goes after the absurd 100-to-1 disparity in sentencing laws for crack cocaine. It goes like this: Trafficking crack cocaine (cheap and used primarily by the poor) can get you the same prison sentence as dealing 100 times the amount of powder cocaine (much more expensive).There probably isn't a better example of the inequ...

WE WON IN CALIFORNIA!

We won the marriage case in California. No need for hyperbole here; this is big; big in terms of what it does, big in terms of what it means, and big in terms of the opportunity for progress it gives us (I'll suggest some of the ways to take advantage of that opportunity below).

Putting the Military Commission Cart Before the Hors

Last night the Pentagon announced that it wants to arraign the five detainees it just charged on Tuesday on June 5. Meanwhile, the Pentagon hasn't even given the detainees full access to their prospective lawyers yet. So what's the freakin' rush?One guess: Could it be the much-publicized desire to get on with these illegitimate proceedings before the No... (316 天前)

Victory in the Regina McKnight Case

Earlier this week, the South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Regina McKnight, a woman convicted in 2001 of homicide after suffering a stillbirth and admitting to cocaine usage, did not have a fair trial. In so doing, the court recognized that McKnight's counsel failed to make use of existing evidence that could have shown that factors other... (316 天前)
