"There's an old saying. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If neither the facts or law are on your side, pound the table." So Adam Schiff summarized a quip that has been evolving for at least a century. And so the Democrats did in the Ohio State House when Ohio State Representative Jena Powell proposed an amendment to protect women's sports. It's hard to believe this ruckus took place in what is supposed to be the deliberative, rulemaking body for the state of Ohio. Where do they think they are? A zoo? A construction site? A daycare? It's almost (almost) maddening enough to make me thankful unelected bureaucrats do most of America's legislating.
As State Rep. Powell began, "across our country, female athletes are currently losing scholarships, opportunities, medals, and training opportunities," Democrats began banging on desks. One man repeatedly screamed, "point of order." Powell courageously pushed through to offer the amendment despite Democrats' rude interjections. The amendment succeeded in a 54-40 vote, and the Ohio House voted 57-36 to pass Senate Bill 187 through to the Senate.
"In the two and a half years that I've been in the legislature, that was probably one of the worst outcries that we've seen. It's very rare to have something like that on the Ohio House floor," Powell said. "I can't speak for the Democrats, but I know many of the Republicans thought it was completely out of turn."

Columbus, Ohio, meet the 1950s United Nations!
PING!
That is how debates are done these days.
And Democrats are Masters at it.
Audio sounds like a bunch of grade school kids having a tantrum. Too bad there isn’t video.
Hopefully their time is coming; and those lefties as well.
I wonder if there’s video of this. And, of course, DeWine is against it.
Mike & Fran DeWine (his enabler?)
Unbelievable. Or at least, it should be.
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!! /sarc
DeWine can get himself a love shack in rural Alaska with Kristi Noem, assuming that they know about such things as “firewood” and “hunting.”
LOL.
It was a great place to grow up in the 60s and 70s.
Nostalgia feels like grief anymore.
“When the law is against you argue the facts. When the facts are against you argue the law’’.
And this is what happens. It's only going to get worse as conservative politician finally, finally find their voice.
Hope it's not too late.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
