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.

No, this legislation is NOT commendable. Most defense contractors us arbitration clauses in their terms and conditions for one very reasonable and simple reason: protecting themselves from the extortion of exhorbitant legal lotto litigation. The arbitration clause does not necessarily prevent litigation later, but requires that any claims must go through arbitration first. You can't go straight to litigation lotto.

Thanks for your reply as a Mom of an 18 year old girl, I find this terrible. I don’t like Franken either.
