Thanks for this post, Aaron. I used it as the basis for today's call to John Cornyn, the less worthless of my two senators. He'll ignore me, but I won't shut up.

This law-and-order independent is taking notice of Van Hollen. Both my senators are MAGA tools, so seeing someone working for a constituent and the American people is a breath of fresh air.

A woman using a married name proves she's a citizen with her birth certificate and marriage certificate. I'm sure it's a real pain when there's been a divorce and remarriage. After getting my passport I mentioned to my unmarried daughter that there's no good reason to change our names at marriage.
