Saturday night was the second night of the Sanctum Festival and it not only had a solid lineup, but it was being headlined by Boy Harsher. Thalia Hall filled up quickly that evening and it had an even larger turnout this night than the already impressive one the night before.
Those that showed up early were treated to an enjoyable performance by Club Music. This was a female solo act and she played some really good industrial dance music. Great beats and good vocals made for another great start to the night.
Next up was Sacred Skin. They were a new wave/synth-pop band with a great retro throwback sound to them. Catchy songs, great synths and melodic vocals. It was like taking a trip back in time to the 1980s and who wouldn’t enjoy that? They were a fun 45 minutes that hit all the good nostalgic buttons.
Pixel Grip soon followed. This band was a real highlight of the evening. They played EBM/techno that was very beat heavy and inspired a big portion of the crowd to dance. Their songs pretty much left anyone in the audience powerless to resist wanting to move their feet and their frontwoman was very striking as she danced and walked around the stage. Their 45 minute set went by very quickly because it was just so good and energetic.
Riki was a solo act that is the brainchild of Niff Nawor, who hails from Los Angeles. She played dark synthpop and had a really nice singing voice. She danced and posed a lot during her performance and had more than a few people in the audience swooning over here. Her faster tempo songs were good for dancing and those unfamiliar with her probably became fans after this performance.
When Boy Harsher took the stage they received a roar of applause from the full house in Thalia Hall. This Massachusetts duo has really built quite a following over the past few years and they put on a clinic of darkwave electro dance/pop tunes. Augustus Muller stood behind a fortress of electronic musical equipment and created all the music while vocalist Jae Matthews hypnotized and seduced the audience with her atmospheric and sometimes haunting vocals. She danced around the stage while singing and most of the audience were dancing along as the band played one amazing song after another. It truly was a headline caliber performance and the band really showed they have something special which is what built them up such a loyal following. they played over an hour and when they left the stage people were still hoping for more!
The second night of Sanctum Festival was every bit as great as the first and the event was really something special and hopefully this becomes an annual event.

Live from Music Row, Monday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed Misrule of Law blog creator and retired attorney Mark Pulliam to the newsmaker line to give a sneak peek of Hillsdale Professor Paul Moreno’s latest book, How the Court Became Supreme.
Leahy: On the newsmaker line right now by a very good friend, our favorite East Tennessee grassroots activist and retired attorney Mark Polio. Mark blogs at Misrule of Law and always has something very interesting to say about our constitutional form of government. Good morning, Mark.
Pulliam: Good morning, Michael.
Leahy: Well, we’ve asked you to take a look at this book that Paul Moreno, the Hillsdale professor of history, has written: How the Court Became Supreme: The Origins of American Juristocracy.
We’re going to talk to him at 7:15, but we want to get a sneak preview from you. Does he make the case that the courts have gone gotten out of control?
Pulliam: He does make the case, and he makes it very effectively. What is unusual is that it takes a history professor at a college rather than a law professor in legal academia to make these points.
One of the peculiar things that have happened in the last 30 years or so is that law schools have been captured by the Left in a way that even higher education generally has not. Law schools have become dominated by liberals more than almost any other academic discipline.
So what passes as constitutional law scholarship coming out of the law schools, reflected in the law reviews, et cetera, is all pretty uniform. And when I read this book and I had a hint that it would be sort of something refreshing from some of his previous work in labor law and labor history, it is a breath of fresh air.
He looks at the state of constitutional law going back to the founding. He tracks every Supreme Court – not every decision – but traces the evolution of constitutional law from John Jay, the first chief justice, to the present, and looks at stuff without the conventions and blinders that are so prevalent in legal scholarship.
And he makes the case that the court has usurped prerogatives that properly belong to either the executive, the legislature, or, in many cases, the states themselves, by undermining the concept of federalism.
This began when the progressives, with the assistance of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, hijacked the Supreme Court during the New Deal. But he makes the case that it really went off the rails under Earl Warren.
And just now, with President Trump’s appointment of three so-called originalists to the Supreme Court, are things returning to center. And we saw just this past term the overruling of Roe versus Wade, which was a good sign, but much needs to be done.
And I hope that this book gets a lot of attention because it makes the case in a way that no legal scholar today does. And in my essay for Law & Liberty, I say that this book is the boldest statement of constitutional law since Robert Bork’s The Tempting of America in 1990.
And that’s sort of a sad commentary that we don’t have scholars like Paul Moreno making this case in law school, which, after all, is where constitutional law is taught and where future constitutional litigators are being trained.
And instead, you see this echo chamber exists. People like Amy Wax at the University of Pennsylvania are being harassed, being stripped of their teaching responsibilities, and even possibly losing their tenure for saying things that were not considered controversial 30 years ago, but have become heretical now.
Leahy: Tell me this. He proposes solutions. What are the solutions?
Pulliam: Given our constitutional system, the only real solution is to appoint good people to the Court and to enforce upon them, through a consensus of the discipline to interpret the Constitution in accordance with the intentions of the Founders.
One of the comments that he makes is in his last chapter, where he surveys recent developments. And he takes Neil Gorsuch to task, who is one of the Trump-appointed originalists and who wrote a controversial opinion in the case of Bostock v. Clayton, which interpreted the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, the basic employment discrimination statute to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation – which was the last thing that Congress had in mind when it passed this law in 1964.
And he ridicules that decision, and properly so. And so there’s only so much that the other branches can do to bring the Court into a more grounded approach. But one of them, and probably the most important technique, is to reinforce good decisions and to criticize poor decisions.
And so that is what he, as an academic, is doing. He is showing how many of the decisions that have been made by the Supreme Court in the last 50 years are simply not grounded in history or in the intention of the Founders.
Leahy: To me, that doesn’t sound very powerful. That’s long-term, isn’t it?
Pulliam: There’s only so much you can do in terms of constraining the Court. The Left has come up with a number of devices that are going to pack the Court. You can propose constitutional amendments, but those are very difficult to implement.
What he points out is that one of the things that kept the Court grounded is the other branches pushing back, sometimes vocally so, like Abraham Lincoln taking on Dred Scott. And as a result of that, the Court was never able to let this go to its head. The problem that we’ve had in recent decades is that the Court has become grandiose.
Leahy: Yes, absolutely.
Pulliam: And the concept of judicial supremacy in Cooper v. Aaron in 1958, where they said – and this is something that you could look through the Federalist Papers and not find any indication of this – but the Court said that our decisions, our interpretation of the Constitution, is supreme, just like the Constitution itself is supreme.
They put themselves on a pedestal. And he makes the point – it’s really the thesis of this book, is that this notion of judicial supremacy is completely unsupported by history, is a grandiose concept, a usurpation of power, and the way that you get them to go off of that is, you basically ridicule it and you point out that it’s unfounded.

Live from Music Row Monday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed retired attorney and blog creator of Misrule of Law Mark Pulliam to the newsmakers line to discuss his recent piece at American Greatness entitled Surrendering the Public Square where he sounds the alarm on churches going woke.
Leahy: We are joined on our newsmaker line now by our very good friend, Mark Pulliam, a California refugee and retired attorney. He moved to town in East Tennessee back in 2019.
He blogs at Law and Liberty. Mark, I am troubled as you are by the disappearance of Christian leaders from the public square. Tell us about your latest column on that.
Pulliam: Well, good morning, Michael. I’m always pleased to be here. What is going on in American churches is the same thing that’s been going on in other institutions in the United States. And that is the left is completing its long march through the institutions.
And this has been a goal of theirs since the mid 20th century. And they have managed to take over the Democratic Party, higher education, Hollywood, the media, Big Tech, and even corporate America.
But now the left is intent on taking over organized religions. And, in fact, many Protestant denominations have gotten woke. This trend has been apparent for some time, with the Episcopals, the Methodists, and the Presbyterians. Many of us in the South at least kind of look to the Southern Baptist denomination as being a refuge.
But even the Southern Baptist Church has gotten woke. And so my town has dozens of Baptist churches and we have visited many of them since we moved here looking for conventional and traditional Christian preaching.
And what we found instead is social justice being advocated and not just middle of the road social justice, but critical race theory, Marxism, left-wing politics, basically. And so I decided to write this piece.
And even as I was writing it, the Southern Baptist Convention was having its annual meeting in Nashville, a meeting that attracted 14,000 delegates. And at that meeting, literally days after this piece got posted a couple of weeks ago, they were going to pick their new President.
And they picked, in a contest between a liberal Ed Linton and a conservative, Mike Stone by a narrow margin, they picked the liberal. So even the Southern Baptist Convention seems to be headed down the wrong road, and it’s something that should be troubling to us all.
Leahy: You know, I’ve noticed the same thing. It is very difficult anywhere in America today to find a Christian Church that is not promoting the heretical critical race theory-social justice view of the world. That’s my opinion. Would you agree or disagree with my statement?
Pulliam: No. And I think many people agree with you. If you look at the numbers, the church attendance is declining, religious affiliations in America are declining. And the Southern Baptist Convention, which has been and continues to be the largest Protestant denomination, it’s declining.
And it peaked about 15 years ago at 17,000,000 members and it has lost 2,000,000 members since then and has lost a million members since 2017. Many people look to churches, that’s the way they were raised, to receive a spiritual message.
Something different than this world. If they wanted to listen to leftist propaganda, they could tune into CNN or MSNBC. And when they go to church and they hear the same table being offered up, they decide, well, either I’m going to stay home on Sunday and sleep in, or I’m going to switch over to a non-denominational mega-church or fundamentalist church.
And in fact, those congregations are growing even as the mainline churches are shrinking. So the expression is get woke, go broke. And I think some of the mainline churches are experiencing exactly that phenomenon.
Leahy: There is. And I’m going to be blunt here, there is cowardice among many Christian leaders today in the country and at the local level. That’s my view.
If you were to go into one of these mainline churches that is promoting hat is promoting critical race theory, and you said, if you tell the preacher, well, you’re a coward and you tell the elders you are cowards and you’re heretical, what kind of response do you think you’d get?
Pulliam: Well, they would deny it, but it’s undeniably true, I think. And I grew up. I’m not ancient. I’m a boomer. But what you expected to hear from faith leaders is opposition to abortion, pornography is immoral, homosexuality is immoral, and drug abuse is wrong.
And now they’re silent. Or if they’re not silent, they are fighting homelessness or racism or promoting social justice and inclusion. It’s like they’ve turned away. What I titled my piece at American Greatness, Surrendering the Public Square.
That it’s not even like the liberals have pushed them out of the public square they have abandoned it voluntarily. And not only abandon it, have taken up the mantle of the left. The faith leaders in my town who have the most prominent public role are leftists.
One of them leads the local chapter of the NAACP. The other is a diversity consultant here. And this is in a county where conservatives outnumber liberals 70 percent to 30 percent or more. So where is our voice? I think a lot of them are sensitive to peer pressure.
They don’t want to be regarded by the voices in the media as intolerant or not being inclusive. And so they have trimmed their sails accordingly. Some of it you can look at as well, the seminaries are loading up younger pastors with this stuff.
But I think a lot of it is just an unwillingness to lead or to go against the current, which is exactly why somebody would choose to be a faith leader in order to go against the current.
Leahy: You put this link in your story to a group run by a pastor called Genesis Diversity Solutions. And I’m looking at this picture of the folks there. They’re about 20 people, two Black people, 18 White people in the picture of this group. They talk about our experience.
Here’s what they talk about. Racial equity and sensitivity. Creating healthy workplace cultures. Understanding our unconscious biases. The importance of diversity in a 2021 world and restorative practices. And now they charge companies to do this it looks like, is that right?
Pulliam: Companies and even worse, local school systems. This fellow, who is a local minister, at least, that’s his part-time gig, I think he might be a diversity consultant full time.
But he works for each of the local school districts providing diversity training to staff members. And one of the school districts formed a diversity task force. And of course, they picked him to be one of the people serving on the task force.
He’s the only faith leader serving. Our county has probably 200 churches. The school district picked the most left-wing clergyman to serve on this. One of the things that he posted this fellow is during last year, during the height of the George Floyd rioting, he posted something on the Genesis Diversity Consulting Facebook page that said, you shouldn’t be objecting to the rioting. You should be objecting to what it is that’s causing the rioting.
Leahy: Nothing says law and order like that.
Pulliam: And it’s nihilistic that if a faith leader cannot even stand up and oppose anarchy, lawlessness, arson, and rioting, then what kind of moral compass is he guided by? This is very troubling. It’s nothing but left-wing politics dressed up in religious clothing. And it’s just one more form of indoctrination.
And we wonder, why do our young people follow this? Well, they’re being told this in every grade from K through 12. They’re being told this in college. And now they’re being told it from the pulpit on Sundays.
Leahy: Reverend Ben Lewis is listed at this Genesis Diversity Solutions. Partnerships with, from his website, Maryville City Schools, Blunt County Schools, and Alcoa City Schools. And they say, ‘We’re greater Nashville’s diversity professional.’
Pulliam: It’s outrageous. And I wonder, when are people going to wake up and look at what’s going on around them and start demanding answers? Why are we permitting this? It’d be one thing if this was happening in Portland or Austin or Minneapolis, but this is happening in the heart of the Bible Belt in one of the most conservative parts of America.
And it’s happening right in front of us. I’ve been accused by my liberal critics of fancying myself as the Paul Revere of East Tennessee. (Leahy laughs)
Leahy: Anytime you report the truth, you are going to being criticized.

Live from Music Row Monday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed retired attorney and blog creator of Misrule of Law Mark Pulliam to the newsmakers line to outline some aspects of his recent essay regarding nullification in dealing with the Biden-Harris administration.
Leahy: We are joined on our newsmakers line now by our good friend, California refugee, retired attorney, and blogger at Lawliberty.org from East Tennessee, Mark Pulliam, Good morning, Mark.
Pulliam: Good morning Michael.
Leahy: Mark, first, before we jump into the topic at hand, which is, I think, an excellent essay that you’ve written about nullification, which some people are talking about as an option in dealing with the legal but not legitimate Biden-Harris maladministration. I just want to get your reaction to the big story over the weekend. Major League Baseball decides to punish the state of Georgia for passing a common-sense election law that will make it easy to vote but hard to cheat. They’ve moved the All-Star Game out of Atlanta, Georgia. What do you make of that?
Pulliam: It’s bewildering and very concerning to see what’s happening. And I think that Major League Baseball is basically acting as the surrogate for the corporate sponsors that have gotten woke. Corporate America is a result of chasing after a consumer base that they view as having been indoctrinated and therefore susceptible to a social justice message.
And also the leadership of these corporations as a result of a generation or more of affirmative action. And then the top ranks have been infiltrated by woke social justice warriors, and corporate America is no longer concerned about making a profit for shareholders or providing a quality product for consumers. They are like a lot of other echelons of the ruling class pushing an agenda. So not even baseball is free of politics. It used to be. People would go to the ballpark to escape reality. And now it is just one more aspect of this all politics all the time.
Leahy: Yes. It’s utterly detestable to me as a baseball fan my entire life to see this ignorant politicization of the exercise of the constitutional privilege of the state of Georgia to determine their own election processes.
Pulliam: And based on a false narrative. The Georgia law, even after these changes, is no worse than the law of many other states. And then the hypocrisy of it where you have these NBA and baseball and nobody says a word about China. And China is off the charts in terms of human rights violations, lack of democracy, freedom, etc. On top of everything else, it’s cowardly and hypocritical.
Leahy: So I saw this funny meme late Friday night that said, Major League Baseball has announced they’re moving the site of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 2021 from Atlanta, Georgia to Wuhan, China. And I thought that’s a funny meme. Then there was an article late that night at Breitbart: “MLB Expanding Presence in China While Pulling Out of Atlanta.” It’s incredible.
Pulliam: Well, you’ve got billions of consumers in China thanks to American trade policy that now are wealthy and in a position to purchase American goods. And corporate America shows where its loyalties are when it is chasing after profits in China over the interest of the American public.
Leahy: You know, back in the early 1690s Nikita Khrushchev, who at the time was the head of the Communist Party in the old Soviet Union said, capitalists, will sell us the rope with which we hang them. I’m paraphrasing that. And we thought, oh, my goodness, that might be the Soviet Union. It’s not so much the Soviet Union now. It’s Communist China.
Pulliam: Well, and he took his shoe and pounded it on the table and said, we will bury you! And that is, in fact, what China is doing. And at least back in the Cold War, Americans became concerned with Sputnik and realized that we were falling behind and we needed to catch up. Right now, people are so complacent about what’s going on with China, they still don’t care. There’s just very little in the way of public awareness or concern about this military and economic regression by the world’s largest, most populous, and increasingly dominant country.
Leahy: See, I’m not sure if I agree with that, Mark. I think people do care. But the way it manifests itself is perhaps not as productive as many of us would like. I think to some extent the lack of participation by Republicans and Conservatives in the Georgia Senate special election races because they were so upset about all of the electoral procedures that were not lawful in that state and we’re so upset with the way that the Republican establishment didn’t stand up for the rights of the average voter.
That led to anger which led to non-participation. But you’ve actually written a very interesting article for those of us who have a bit of a history bent about a concept that some states are looking into called nullification. First, tell us what nullification is and what the historical use of the term nullification has been.
Pulliam: Well, nullification is a term that has many meanings. At first, it recently got onto my radar screen because some of the conservative circles I travel in and it’s being offered up as a panacea solution that no matter what happens in Washington at the end of the day, the states and can simply refuse to go along with it and declare whatever happens in Washington to be invalid under the Tenth Amendment on the grounds that the states have the ability to determine what’s constitutional and what’s unconstitutional and we’re not handmaidens of the federal government.
Now that’s the most extreme use of the term. It’s been used and liberals have been using it for a long time to offer sanctuary to illegal aliens and to legalize certain drugs like marijuana that are prohibited at the federal level. And if you go back far enough all the way back to the late 1700s it was used as a way for the states to express opposition to federal laws like the Alien and Sedition Acts.
And the more recent advocates of nullification are using the earlier precedents, the 1798 precedent, and then also in the 1830s when South Carolina was objecting to federal tariff laws and was threatening to refuse to comply with these federal tariff laws. They are using those precedents to show that, yes, the states can defy federal law. The problem with those arguments is that never before in American history have states actually defied federal authority with the Alien and Sedition Acts.
It was basically an elaborate protest that ultimately led to, among other things, Thomas Jefferson who became President in 1800 and who contributed to Congress repealing this objectionable Alien and Sedition Act. And in the 1830s, South Carolina ultimately rescinded its nullification ordinance where they were threatening to defy federal law, in part because President Andrew Jackson was saying that if you try that, we will use military force to crush you. And then also, some of the more recent proponents look back and find comforting words in the Federalist Papers to show that the framers agreed that the states could thumb their nose at the federal government if they disagreed with policies.
Leahy: We’ve been talking about the concept of nullification. So, Mark, we’ve talked about the history of it. Where is it now? And why do some people think this is a good idea?
Pulliam: I think people always look for easy, simple solutions, and we are facing unprecedented challenges with what’s going on in Washington. But people should focus on the long run, not the short run. There are no easy solutions. Politics is hard work, and it takes a sustained effort to turn things around. When we’ve seen the Tenth Amendment tried to be used as a magical solution, it didn’t work.
The massive resistance to integration in the 50s. The Tenth Amendment didn’t work for the South when they tried to secede. So people, instead of getting all wrapped up in nullification efforts and passing laws that somehow there will be a magical defense against federal overreaching. They need to be on the phone pushing their representatives in Congress to oppose the Biden-Harris agenda tooth and nail and to use every procedural device to obstruct and delay, just like Chuck Schumer did during four years of the Trump presidency.
And we need to exhort our state attorney’s general to challenge each and every one of these unconstitutional laws if Congress lacks the will to oppose it. And we can’t lose focus that in the long run, people need to devote their energies where they can make a difference. And that’s at the state and local level. And so citizens need to be more vigilant than ever in becoming engaged in their communities and make sure that we are electing the right people to the City Councils, to the school boards, and partisan and non-partisan offices.
People need to be getting involved in their local Republican parties and become citizen activists. And that is how we’re going to turn the ship around. Not by passing magical laws as somehow if we pass them will immunize us from the effects of what’s going on in Washington. That has historically proven to be an illusory solution.
Leahy: So let me play devil’s advocate here. Okay, so step one is to tell your representatives to oppose the agenda of Biden-Harris. Well, they are opposing it right now, but they’re not succeeding, at least in the House of Representatives, because there’s a slight majority, and every single Democrat walks in lockstep with anything Nancy Pelosi wants to do.
There’s not a single constitutionalist among any elected federal Democrat that I can see. And then in the Senate, it’s 50/50 and any tie can be broken by Kamala Harris. Look, you know what’s going to happen. The big deal right now is this Corrupt Politicians Act, otherwise called by the Democrats the Fair Practices Act, something like that. HR1, S1, which is basically going to nationalize federal elections and make it impossible if it were to pass and be implemented to elect Republicans because they’re going to codify the cheating that was done in 2020 and make it even worse.
So when we play Devil’s advocate here, I don’t think that the House is very effective at stopping the unconstitutional laws being passed by the Pelosi-led House. I think Schumer is going to pull every trick in his bag of tricks to jam through this unconstitutional HR1 and then it will be the law of the land. So when that happens, what’s your response to that?
Pulliam: Well, the House has always been a simple majority wins body. Democrats have the majority there and they can pass anything they want, and they have passed virtually anything they want. And this stuff is always stacked up where the log jam occurs in the Senate. And the Senate is not a simple majority-run institution.
We have a very powerful impediment to the majority, imposing its will in the minority with the filibuster rule where it takes 60 votes to invoke cloture to stop debate so effectively at the present time and this has been the rule for 100 years that it takes 60 votes to make anything happen in the Senate. And what we have to do is make sure that our Republican senators do not lose the resolve to vote no on all of these bills.
And there’s a whole list of them. HR1, the ProAct, the Quality Act, the statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico. All these trillion-dollar stimulus bills. There’s a long laundry list of bills that would be disastrous if they were passed. In addition to the filibuster rule, there are all kinds of other procedural rules where you can extend debate. You can delay votes, et cetera. And this is why President Trump, even though he got a lot of federal judges confirmed, a lot of them weren’t confirmed because it took so long to get a vote on each one of these judges.
And we need to use those rules to our advantage, just like the Democrats did when they were in the minority. And so we need not only Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty because I think they’re pretty solid but the entire cadre of conservative Republican Senators Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, Mike Lee, and the whole cast of characters know that basically, they are the line between us and progressive hegemony in Washington, and we expect them to fight and to fight hard to keep this agenda from being enacted.
Leahy: But, Mark, they’re going to fight. All 50 Republicans are going to oppose this Corrupt Politician Act that makes it easy for Democrats to cheat and nationalize the elections and gives them extra money from the federal government to cheat. That’s basically what that law does. They’re going to oppose it. I promise you that you’re gonna see some shenanigans going on on the Democratic side. They’re going to do a filibuster carve out. They’re going to do reconciliation. That bill is better than 50/50 that it’s gonna pass using those shenanigans.
Pulliam: Well, I certainly hope you’re wrong, because if the filibuster is breached, then we do have a serious problem. But in that case, these nullification arguments, some of them boil down to simple civil disobedience. How did civil disobedience work out at Ruby Ridge? How did civil disobedience work out at Waco?
It’s not a viable strategy. Look at what happened at the capital on January sixth. We cannot expect that simply by resisting this agenda, that somehow we’re going to prevail and some of these other things that are being proposed, that would pass a law that would create a sanctuary. All of the sanctuary states can up to a point, refuse to cooperate with the federal government, but you cannot prevent the federal government from enforcing federal law.
So I think patriots need to work harder than ever to fight this through legitimate means, through the political process, and through the courts. And I think that a lot of these bills that are being proposed by Biden-Harris that even if they pass, they’re going to be vulnerable to constitutional challenges. And this is why litigation will be important.
I know a lot of people have lost their confidence in the Supreme Court as a result of the election, but I think that we still have a sound originalist majority on the Supreme Court. And if some of these bills pass, they will be vulnerable to challenge. And we have to rely on our state attorney general to fight those battles in court, and in the long run, I think they will prevail.
Leahy: Yeah, but I understand what you’re arguing. I understand your nullification. I understand all of your arguments. I’m just looking at the reality. I would say the odds that the Senate will pass this Corrupt Politicians Act that federalizes all elections throughout the states, which is unconstitutional in itself.
But I think the odds that the Senate actually passes it on 50 to 50 with Kamala Harris providing the tiebreaker by some carve out of the filibuster. The odds that happens in the next 30 days, I think are better than 50/50. So let me pose this question to you. Okay, this law passes. They begin to codify the federalization of state laws.
You start filing challenges in court. That’s a bit of a toss-up it seems to me. Why don’t you think about that a little bit Mark over the break because I think that this is where we’re headed, and I don’t think that just asking senators to pretty please work hard against it is going to be sufficient. So think about that.

Dr. William W. Watson, a former chairman of the physics department at Yale University who helped develop the atomic bomb, died on Monday in Hamden, Conn. He was 92 years old.
The cause of death was not yet known, said his daughter, Ruth Martin, of New Haven.
During World War II, Dr. Watson took a leave from Yale after he was appointed by the Secretary of War to be division director of the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago, where scientists were developing the atomic bomb. A year later he became the American representative to the Canadian-British atomic energy research project in Montreal, where atomic bomb research was scheduled to move if the war had continued. Dr. Watson returned to Yale in September 1945, one month after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
William Weldon Watson was born in Eveleth, Minn., on Sept. 14, 1899, and was reared in La Grange, Ill. He received bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago. He became a member of its faculty in 1924 and joined the faculty at Yale in 1929. Research on Isotopes
Dr. Watson's early research dealt with the structures and spectra of molecules. Beginning in 1940 and continuing beyond his retirement from Yale in 1968, Dr. Watson studied processes for separating differing forms, or isotopes, of atoms, an area central to the development of the atomic bomb. By 1943, he was doing research at Yale for the atomic bomb project.
Dr. Watson was chairman of Yale's physics department from 1940 to 1961. In this period, the university built particle accelerators that put it at the forefront of nuclear technology and research.
In 1946, Dr. Watson became one of five trustees of the Government-sponsored laboratory for nuclear physics research on Long Island, now the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Early in the 1950's, Dr. Watson was one of the first scientists to publicly discuss harnessing nuclear energy for projects like nuclear-powered aircraft and space satellites.
In that time, Dr. Watson focused his research on isotope separation, especially isotopes of the gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon, which are called noble gases because of their high resistance to chemical reaction. His research facilitated the study of nuclear variants of these elements, enabling scientists to study parts of the isotopes, including the nuclear properties.
Dr. Watson is survived by his wife, the former Elizabeth Wells; two daughters, Mrs. Martin and Alice Houston of Stonington, Conn., and two grandchildren.

Bernard Petit (born 1984, Nassau, The Bahamas) was raised in New Providence, Bahamas and has immediate origins on the Caribbean island of Haiti. Petit was formally trained as a painter, but his practice has developed to include performance, screenplays and film-making.
Petit started drawing at the age of four and remembers his father having to purchase crayons and drawing materials every weekend to keep up with Bernard and his brother Jackson, who would use them up in less than a week. At A.F. Adderley Junior High School, Petit was inspired by teacher Jemma Antonio and went on to C.V. Bethel Senior High in 1998 where Sandra Illingworth became his mentor. He completed his Associates Degree in Art at The College of The Bahamas, and from 1998 to 2002 he participated in The Annual FINCO Summer Art Workshops with the encouragement of Antonius Roberts. In 2006, he won the first place prize for The Central Bank Annual Art Competition in the Open Category.
Color is the key to understanding Petit's perspective. His color-theory training began at College of The Bahamas's 2D theory class taught by artist Sue-Bennett Williams and has been central to his practice ever since. Like the Fauvists, Petit favors brilliant and emotive colors over representational values. His unexpected pallet describes refracted portraits and landscapes.
In 2008, Bernard and his brother Jackson started the company Small Art Pictures, funded through The Bahamas' Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture’s Self Starter Business Program. Through their company, the Petit brother's created their own short films and produced commercial projects.

John Walker dies
The Walker Brothers founder John Walker has died.
The 'Make it Easy on Yourself' singer, guitarist and songwriter passed away at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday (07.05.11) after battling liver cancer.
A statement on his official website read: "It is with our deepest sadness to report that Mr. John Walker passed away in his Los Angeles area home on May 7.
"He was a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, friend, and artiste."
John - who was born John Maus but had been using the name Walker since his teens - started the Walker brothers in 1964 , eventually settling on a line up which included Scott Engel and Gary Leeds, who also used the surname Walker for the group.
Gary paid tribute to his friend and bandmate, writing on his website: "It's a very sad day for John's family, myself and all of our many fans.
"John was the founder member of the group and lead singer in the early days. He was also a fantastic guitarist which a lot of people didn't realise. He was a compassionate song-writer and a gentleman with lots of style.
"The three of us had the most incredible adventure together, all the time not realising that we were part of pop history in the making. His music will live on, and therefore so will John."
Although the group were all American, they initially found success in the UK, with hits including 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)' and 'My Ship Is Coming In', although their signature track 'Make it Easy on Yourself ' was their biggest single, reaching number one in the UK, number 16 in the US and selling over a million copies globally.
After an initial run of hits between 1965 and 1967, internal tensions within the group saw them split in 1968. They reformed and recorded three albums in the 1970s which saw them achieve further success, but the three members of the group drifted apart by the end of the decade. The band are estimated to have sold 23 million albums in total.
John was working on a new album at the time of his diagnosis, and Scott also went on to have a successful solo career, while Gary took a step away from the music industry.Posted on 9 May 2011 10:00 to category : Music News

“Même Pas Fatigué” is a 2015 single with a version available in both French and English.
Même pas fatigué
Its fate was heavily associated with the success of “A Song for Faces”, released also in 2015 and famous for its vocals by Boris Dlugosch and Miss Inez’s beautiful music. museke
Whenever you hear someone mention the name Même pas fatigué, you will probably be safe assuming that they usually refer to the song, which helped the singer carve his place on international FM radio
The term provides expression to Harry Houdini’s beliefs that one should never give up despite suffering difficult limitations. Although his thoughts seem to contradict what occurs, relaxing can become addictive while staying moderately confident and refusing to give up can lead to break-throughs
Même pas fatigué (“Not Tired at all”) is a 2009 single by French DJ Magic System . The song was released on 10 September 2009 and features French singer Cheb Khaled .
Même pas fatigué is a song sung by Magic System in 2009. It combined music, pop and jazz. The song was written as a tribute to create something out of nothing
Source of lyrics: This piece is mostly comprised of improvised jazz beats and riffs learned by the two composers during the winter period. Some words are based on poetry from French author Tarantino where he reflects on his view from the sidewalk.

Two journalists were officially charged on Wednesday with obtaining state secrets while reporting on a military crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in northern Rakhine state, an offense that carries a maximum jail term of 14 years.
Police arrested Thet Oo Maung, also known as Wa Lone, 31, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 27, on Dec. 12 for violating the colonial-era Official Secrets Law by allegedly possessing classified documents about security forces in northern Rakhine state, where a military crackdown has driven about 655,000 Rohingya Muslims into neighboring Bangladesh since August 2017.
Some Rohingya have accused security forces of committing atrocities against them during the crackdown, which was triggered by deadly attacks by Rohingya insurgents on police outposts.
Than Zaw Aung, an attorney representing the journalists, told RFA’s Myanmar Service following the journalists’ second hearing in Yangon that the defense team submitted a bail petition to be considered at the next hearing on Jan. 23, hoping that the judge will grant an exception for what is otherwise not a bailable offense.
We have a total of 25 witnesses, he told RFA’s Myanmar Service. We are copying documents and getting ready to study this case. We have applied for bail today. Lawyers from both sides will argue on the bail issue at the next hearing.
The court said it would consider the request and make a decision at that time.
Than Zaw Aung also insisted that the arrests amounted to entrapment by police, who had contacted them for a meeting in Yangon to hand over documents about the situation in northern Rakhine.
After Thet Oo Maung and Kyaw Soe Oo met over a meal with two officers who had been stationed in the conflict zone, they were taken into custody by other policemen.
Actually, their arrest was entrapment, Than Zaw Aung said. Police called them to meet, gave them some documents, and they were arrested as soon as the police left. They didn’t even have a chance to see what the documents were.
These two policemen are now witnesses for the plaintiff’s side, he said.
About 25 people, including international diplomats and family members of the accused men, were permitted inside the courthouse under tight security, he said.
Thet Oo Maung’s wife, Pan Ei, said they could only smile at each another in court.
He is not very well and didn’t have time to eat while he was in court, she said.
Upon leaving the courthouse, Thet Oo Maung said, We have been arrested and charged in an unfair manner.
Kyaw Soe Oo shouted: Please tell the people to protect our journalists. We need to work for justice.
‘Journalism is not a crime’
Outside the courthouse, a group of Myanmar journalists, some wearing black T-shirts that said journalism is not a crime gathered to protest the detentions.
We conducted a campaign for these reporters in front of the court today, said Tharlon Zaung Htet, member of Myanmar’s Committee for the Protection of Journalists. We tried to show that we are standing together with them and that we stand by them.
We have complained to authorities because [their arrest] was entrapment, he said. We are thinking about doing campaigns during every hearing they have. We will also do sticker campaigns every two weeks in public, telling people that their arrest constitutes entrapment.
Myint Kyaw, a member of the Myanmar Press Council, an independent organization that advocates for the news media, agreed that authorities entrapped the two reporters.
It was planned entrapment, he said. Even though international groups have called for the reporters’ freedom, Myanmar authorities haven’t responded but are continuing to do what they want. It is not good for press freedom, and the images of the government and the military will be damaged.
Rights groups and media organizations have blasted Myanmar’s civilian government led by Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi for continuing to use colonial-era laws to threaten and intimidate journalists who criticize the administration or the military.
Reporters shouldn’t be arrested under a democratic government, said Zaw Thet Htwe of the Myanmar Press Union, a former sports journal editor and political prisoner.
We don’t know whether these reporters used illegal government documents or if it was entrapment, he said. The government and Home Affairs Ministry should release more information to make the case more transparent.
Pyay Thway Naing, editor-in-chief of Khit Yanant Magazine, said that the government’s use of laws to arrest journalists is forcing the media to censor themselves.
We are in a situation where we must conduct self-censorship instead of having more freedom in press, he said.
Other countries weigh in
In a related development, a spokesman for the Japanese government said on Wednesday that officials want to discuss the issue of the detained reporters with the Myanmar government, including during Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono’s visit to the Southeast Asian nation this week, reported.
“The Japanese government has conveyed its concern about this matter to the government of Myanmar and, going forward, wants to discuss and make appeals at appropriate opportunities, including Foreign Minister Kono’s visit to Myanmar, Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, was quoted as saying in response to a question.
Suga also noted the importance of guaranteeing freedom of expression and basic human rights in all countries, the report said.
The U.S., France, and Denmark expressed dismay after Wednesday’s court hearing and issued calls for the government to release Thet Oo Maung and Kyaw Soe Oo.
We are disappointed by today’s decision to pursue charges against reporter reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo under the Official Secrets Act, the U.S. embassy in Myanmar said in a brief statement. For democracy to succeed and flourish, journalists must be able to do their jobs. We call for their immediate release.
France’s Foreign Ministry in a statement called for the respect of their fundamental rights, their immediate release by the Burmese authorities and the free access of the media to Rakhine state.
Denmark’s embassy in Myanmar issued a statement saying that it is indeed very disappointing that an old draconian law from the colonial era is being used by a democratically elected government to suppress press freedom.

Jefferson Parish Council members, fed up with construction delays and cost overruns at the Performing Arts Center in Metairie, are moving toward putting the project's contractor in default and filing a claim with the firm's insurer.
The move is gaining momentum as the state has hit the pause button on paying more than $3 million the parish is counting on to help pay to finish the project, which has become a political liability for parish officials.
Six of the seven council members said they plan to vote May 1 in favor of a resolution by Chairman Chris Roberts authorizing the parish attorney to place contractor Joe Caldarera & Co. in default. The resolution would also green light "whatever actions are necessary against" Caldarera's insurer, National Union Fire Insurance Co., "to ensure completion of this project."
Roberts and Parish Attorney Deborah Foshee said the resolution would not mandate putting Caldarera in default. Instead, it would let Foshee move to put the firm in default without needing another council vote. Foshee and Parish President John Young said they plan to continue negotiations with Caldarera that began last year, in hopes of having a final agreement before the May 1 council meeting. The agreement would spell out a final payment and a deadline for the project.
Several council members, however, made it clear they are running out of patience.
"It's long past time a decision be made on the fate of getting this project finished," Roberts said. "Sitting in neutral is no longer acceptable."
"This has gotten way out of hand," said Councilman Paul Johnston, who inherited the project when he was elected to represent the district that includes the arts center. "I'm disgusted. It's very frustrating."
Caldarera issued a statement saying the parish would have no grounds to put him on default. He blamed the project's problems on 502 design changes, all made at the parish's request.
"Delays on the project are and have been solely due to design changes and non-payment -- therefore, there's no basis for any thought of default of Caldarera," his statement said.
When construction of the arts center began in 2007 it was supposed to be done by 2009 at a cost of $26 million. Design errors prompted major revisions from the start, and construction problems added delays and costs. The administration of then-Parish President Aaron Broussard endorsed payment of millions of dollars in additional costs, which the Parish Council approved. That brought the project's tab up to $44 million by the time the Young administration took office in 2010.
The parish last year began negotiating what Young called "a global settlement" with Caldarera, seeking a final payment to the contractor in return for a firm deadline to finish the project. Administrators have said a deal would include "substantial" fines on Caldarera for every day late after the deadline.
Foshee this week said the parish and Caldarera have agreed on a figure, which she declined to discuss. Caldarera's statement said he is owed $12.8 million, but that in January he offered to accept $9.75 million to finish the project.
Caldarera also said the tentative agreement with the parish sets the deadline to finish the arts center one year after he gets an initial payment of $7.5 million. That would mean construction could go on into spring 2014.
Parish administrators hope most of the payment to Caldarera will come from $6.7 million the state committed to the arts center last year. With that money and a tentative agreement with the contractor, the parish had appeared to be nearing a settlement in recent weeks.
State holds payment
But Roberts and Johnston said the council was blindsided last week, when the administration told them the state is withholding between $3 million and $4 million of its contribution. Roberts said the state is refusing to pay for what he said were "delay charges" by the contractor -- essentially payments for keeping equipment and workers on the site longer than anticipated.
Roberts and Johnston questioned whether the state or the parish administration had "dropped the ball."
"Who just determined this? And how do you go into negotiations without knowing that?" Roberts said of the state's decision to hold the funds.
Young and Foshee both said the state hasn't said it plans to permanently stop the payment. Instead, they said state officials have said they won't pay for any work in advance, and have also requested more documentation supporting the work Caldarera is billing.
"The state has asked for more information. There was no dropping of the ball," Young said.
Whether a council vote May 1 would help or hurt the ongoing negotiations remains to be seen. Parish officials emphasized that putting the contractor in default has been an option all along, and that they have held off in part to let the negotiations progress.
But with the arts center becoming a source of public scorn in recent years, council members may be feeling increasing political pressure to wrap up the building's construction. Indeed, advocates pushing to curtail politicians' discretion in parish contracting have often cited the arts center debacle as a need for changes.
Aside from Roberts and Johnston, council members Elton Lagasse, Mark Spears, Ben Zhan and Cynthia Lee-Sheng said they support Roberts' resolution giving the parish attorney the OK to put Caldarera in default. Councilman Ricky Templet didn't return a message seeking comment.
"Not only do I support Councilman's Roberts' position, but with district councilman Johnston also in agreement, I will again request that we either consider seeking out a corporate sponsor, or simply putting a "FOR SALE" sign on it! Enough is enough!," Zahn wrote in a statement.


Nida Yasir brought up the topic of “Shaadi Ka Laddu” in the recent episode of her morning show “Good Morning Pakistan”. Nida invited both married and unmarried celebrities to her show. Unmarried celebrities who were Sussanne Fatima, Tipu Sharif and Hassan Niazi talked about the pros and cons of marriage in their opinion.
Sussanne Fatima said that the advantage of marriage is that you have a partner who waits for you at home and also you have someone to go out with. Talking about the pitfalls she said that marriage takes away personal liberty. She has seen women asking their husbands for permission for everything.
Tipu Sharif said that for him the only advantage of marriage is children. If someone wants children, he has to get married. Otherwise, those who are not married have time in their hands, no one asks them anything.
Hassan Niazi said that the advantage of marriage is that you can take your own decision. Talking about the loss, he said that at times he feels lonely, especially during Eid when everyone is busy with their family.

So I thought it was just a birthday dinner.”
And Kim says that despite all the obvious clues, she still had absolutely no idea a ring was in her future until Kanye got down on one knee. “My eyes were closed and then I got up and I still the whole time I didn’t think it was a proposal. I thought it was dinner on the baseball field and we had a nice orchestra. I still didn’t get it…when he got on his knee I kind of figured out what was going on,” Kardashian continued.
As for the upcoming wedding, Kim says that they really have not had much time to discuss it, but she’s cool with whatever Kanye wants.

NELLORE: The comments made by BJP senior leader and Union urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu here on Saturday kicked up a storm in political circles, against the backdrop of the ‘rift’ between the Center and AP government over special category status to the state.
A day before chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to visit Nellore district, Venkaiah Naidu said the special status provision was not in the AP Reorganisation Act. However, the BJP-led NDA government is kind enough to allocate funds for the development of Andhra Pradesh, said the minister who was here to inaugurate a medical camp at Swarna Bharath Trust (SBT) run by his daughter Deepa Venkat.
He indirectly advised the TDP to maintain dignity while criticising prime minister Narendra Modi or the NDA government. Otherwise, it might lead to further gap between the two.
“I request the TDP leadership and the government to be friendly with the Centre, which is keen to address all the problems being faced by the newly carved out state. It will not be possible for any government to release adequate funds immediately as demanded by the state. The Central government is also facing a financial crises,” he said.
Alleging that Congress is responsible for non-completion of Polavaram project, he said former prime ministers like Indira Gabdhi failed to initiate necessary measures leading to the present crisis. However, his government is committed to completing the project in a phased manner, he said. His government is trying to set right the wrongs of previous regimes since the time of Jawaharlal Nehru, he said.

An armed raider has been arrested after a dramatic hold-up in a South Dublin building society.
The masked thug burst into the EBS in Killiney shortly after 12 midday and demanded money from workers.
Some eye-witnesses claimed that a tussle ensued which saw the weapon kicked from the man's hand.
Gardai arrested the thug who is in his 30s a short time later along with taking a firearm.
All the cash taken during the raid has been recovered and gardai were questioning the suspect this afternoon at Dun Laoghaire Garda Station..
No shots were fired during the incident.
A woman who was in the centre at the time of the raid said there were dramatic scenes.
Karla Zambra explained: "I was in having a coffee when I heard this commotion outside.
"Ehat people were saying is that this man was in the EBS at one end of the shopping centre and he ran from there to the other side of the centre.
"He was wearing a mask that covered half of his face."
"A garda chased him through the centre and managed to knock him to the ground.
"He kicked what appeared to be a gun out of his hand."
Ms Zambra added: "All the money that was in his hands was knocked on the ground.
"There were a lot of coins in his hands.
"It's not what you expect on a Friday morning in Killiney.
"But fair play to the guards."
