We’ve seen this in health care, with Repub- licans allowing Obamacare to sink instead of evolving; the Paris climate accords, with Syria and Nicaragua signing on, the U.S. is the only nation not on board; and the Trans Pacific Partnership, where the void left by the Americans is quickly being filled by China with its currency and rule of law.

Larsen, BA Political Science College of Arts and Sciences March 12, 2018 Faculty Mentors: John Gruhl, PhD, Political Science 1 Abstract This project sought to analyze how sexual assault in the political sphere is perceived and treated in contemporary society in the United States of America. The thesis analyzed eight cases of sexual misconduct, including six from the past thirty years. In each case, the reaction of party and social leaders, of the politician’s constituents and of the politician himself were looked at, as well as the consequences the politician faced. The results were then analyzed side-by-side to discover similarities and differences between ho cases of sexual assault allegations were treated and in terms of what happened to the politician after the allegations came out.

  • State of the Statehouse
    hile elections sometime deliver results that are unexpected (the list is a long one; I’m sure you have your favorite upsets), there are also certain givens leading up to each voting responsibility. Two at the top of the list are: 1. Politicians, or maybe more accurately the people involved in the Wpolitical process, will repeatedly tell us why any election is important. That refrain is amplified in 2010, mostly because it determines who holds the mighty gavel – and pen – the following year. 2. A sea of change is coming, with the party out of power using that mantra to help regain control. The adage applies this time around, but it’s a different type of change than what was experienced two years ago or during the memorable mid-term election of 1994. The Indiana Chamber’s nonpartisan political action committee, Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), has a focused mission: help elect thoughtful candidates to the Indiana General Assembly who support pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation and initiatives. Jeff Brantley, with 20 years of experience in Indiana in a variety of roles, leads that effort as vice president of political affairs. Kevin Brinegar, Chamber president, has been with this organization for 18 years and involved in the legislative/political process for 30 years. Brinegar uses two key words – power and authority – in addressing topic No. 1. The 2010 election, of course, coincides with the 2010 census. Following the annual people count, the political party that controls the House and Senate in Indiana (and many other states), has the “power and authority to redraw district boundaries.

In Obergefell v Hodges, ___ S.Ct. ____, 2015 WL 2473451 (2015), the Supreme Court struck down marriage bans and anti- recognition laws in Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. While Obergefell’s reasoning is binding Supreme Court precedent that will ultimately dictate the outcome of this case because of the similarity of both the challenged laws and the legal questions, it simply did not declare Alabama’s marriage bans and anti-recognition laws to be unconstitutional, nor did it order Alabama to stop enforcing its 1 Case 2:14-cv-01091-RDP Document 29 Filed 07/19/15 Page 2 of 25 unconstitutional marriage laws.

This was particularly perplexing to many outside (and within) evangelical circles, because as leaders of America’s “Moral Majority” for almost four decades, prior to Trump’s campaign, evangelicals had insisted that only candidates who set a high standard for personal integrity and civic decency, were qualified to serve as president.

And yet, at the same time, we have to recognize that politics also usually involves ideals. That people choose what side they’re on in the faith that they are standing with the side that stands for the good, the more virtuous. The side driven by ideals whose outcomes will prove most beneficial to society. That is why you and I and all of us choose the side we’re on. We think that we are standing with the righteous. Well, we have decided tonight to test one side of that equation because we think it has the makings of a great debate. Let’s go for it.
