This is good news. For once, our governor did the right thing.
“I don’t plan to die on that hill. Not that I’m expecting to die, but it’s just not one I want to fight." Sen. Paul Rose, sponsor of a bill to give the state parole board more power, said he will not initiate an override of Gov. Bill Lee's veto.

I'm ready to dump X but I use it these days mainly to follow legitimate news sites and keep up with the goings on in this topsy-turvy world. I'd appreciate any suggestions on sites to follow. I've found the biggies - NYT, Washington Post, Huffpost, etc - but I'm short on TN news sites

I don’t mean to be a caricature, but this just isn’t law. The Supreme Court is always making policy. But this is beyond. “This dicta in an emergency order will reassure the markets but just uh trust us on the law here ok no we’re not overruling Humphrey’s yet and when we do we’ll spare the fed.”
