A recently passed bill in Michigan could make it a felony to intimidate someone by intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns, according to some legal experts.
Michigan's state House of Representatives has passed bill HB 4474, a piece of legislation that criminalizes causing someone to feel threatened by words.
Under the new bill, offenders are "guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000."
The difference between investigation and management. White House cocaine: Greg Gutfeld pointed out the differing declarations of the location of the discovery, as District of Columbia fire officials reportedly said over their radio that it was found in the library – which is notably part of the East Wing – while the U.S. Secret Service reportedly said it was discovered in the more heavily-traversed West Wing.

The people who have fought with such outrage in favor of the university's right--even obligation--to select students on the basis of an arbitrary vision of their student body makeup and the history of past admissions are now organizing against university legacy admissions. The are using the arguments of those that defeated them in the Harvard preference case. Taking up the weapons of the victors is weird enough, but weirder when you claim you're the moral side. So, their attack on Justice Thomas for being an affirmative action product makes more sense.
As the Supreme Court dissents show, there is little philosophy here and, thus, continuity. The recurring point is not the reverence for concept and consistency, it is results. There is a model in the minds of the Left that must be achieved in some way, regardless how circuitous or insincere. This is an important point since the Constitution was created to provide confines to government activity, not a blueprint. Certain individual rights are ceded to the government in very defined ways. The rest are reserved to the citizen, based upon the belief in every individual's inherent value and dignity. (And, regrettably, competence.)
Ours is a system of refined process, not outcome. And opposition is easy as it is not confined by ordinary, human thinking. It is a matter of passion.
