#1 Elections have consequences. They won. Remember that in November.

#2 The problem is that the democrats learned long ago to take advantage of their periods of political power by salting the civil service with fellow travelers, and always resisting strongly any efforts at reversing that trend through their amased union power. The US DOJ Civil Rights division is a perfect example of the cumulative effects of this process.

#4 The DOJ is in a lose-lose situation. Even if DOJ wins a lawsuit, sources tell me South Carolina is simply going to cancel all of the special testing, treatment and counseling, thereby saving the state $2 million a year.

Instead, the state will dump infected prisoners into the general population, and nobody will know they have AIDS. Worse, prisoners who come to prison with HIV/AIDS will never know they have the disease and their lives will be shortened because the testing program will end.

Solution: Level the playing field and inoculate everyone with the virus.

#5 B. You point out a train of thought similar to the earlier DOJ flap this week, where they enjoined colleges from a test project using Kindle for text books .... because blind students couldn't use it.

The logic seems to be if a blind person can't use it, put a bag over everyone else's head.
