“We’re all for getting things done in a Congress that appears to be stalling on anything and everything possible.”
In a year where we’re already around one and a half trillion (!) dollars in deficit, maybe that’s a good thing. If it were, in fact, happening.

I don’t know as a woman, I am pretty upset about a woman who was gang raped and then locked in a crate. How is this not criminal? The people who did this should be prosecuted. I don’t like Franken but this is about rape.

Yes, this particular case is disturbing, but an arbitration clause doesnt necessarily prevent a claimant from receiving damages- they may not hit the lottery as they might with a jury verdict, but it doesnt shut them out from recovering damages, either.
So ultimately, this law is about expanding tort litigation.

I dont like Franken but this is about rape.Not according to Fraken:
From the article: "Franken says he hopes this is just the first step in his effort to add more oversight to contractors that receive federal funding."
No mention of rape.

What would happen if it is proven that massive voter fraud was planned and carried out by Acorn against Norm Coleman? It is not all that far fetched and, more than likely, did happen. Franken is scum.

Trying to follow this. If she was raped that is a crime. In fact what about the federal VAWA?
But this is about a civil lawsuit against a company that did not rape or harass her but are being held responsible. Furthermore, by taking the job she accepted the terms of arbitration. What if they didn't hire her because they determined it was unsafe for women there? They would have been sued for discrimination.

So in 1000 years, when people are reading “The Rise and Fall of the American Empire” will Franken be regarded in the same manner as Caligula’s horse?

Especially when you don't understand what this is truly about.
But don't let that stop you from feigning indignation.

I think Franken is a buffoon and a cheater, who "won" his seat through criminal endeavor. I wasn't making light of the situation, but of him personally. I don't know if he will end up being a good senator, but it is flat-out wrong for him not to bear the taint of having won a rigged election.
Having said that, the legislation is commendable. There's something suspect about a company that would make anyone, especially a 19-yr old female, sign that type of contract knowing full well the circumstances they might encounter in a war zone.

I’m sure he didn’t write this bill and it was written for him to introduce.

They need to investigate Franken and ACORN. At the moment, I believe he was elected on the back of ACORN fraud. The reason I say this is because there were reports of thousands of ACORN registered voters and Franken won by a small margin. Because of ACORN’s reputation, this needs immediate attention.

Furthermore, by taking the job she accepted the terms of arbitration. And if KBR ever wants to have a federal contract again they will accept that they don't get to do this sort of cover-up any more.
