| Demonstrating just how radically the left has swung in opposition to civil liberties, the US Supreme Court just issued a ruling against a federal limit on political speech and participation. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for a 6-3 majority, that Sen. Ted Cruz was harmed by a federal election law that capped how much he could lend to his own campaign, in 2012. His underdog campaign set a national record at the time, as the most expensive in US history. He mortgaged his own home to secure a $260,000 loan to his campaign. Only after the successful election did his campaign committee repay the loan. That financing option was always lawful, but the Federal Election Commission (FEC), had capped such funding at $250,000. |  |

Of the 24 Senate seats not up for election this year, 23 are Republican, 1 is Democrat. This means only 6 of the 48 senate seats will be a November decision. Republicans therefor retain at least a 75% majority of the Oklahoma Senate.
In the Oklahoma State House of Representatives, 22 more Reps will be decided among Republicans, since only Republicans filed. Democrats will pick up 1 additional seat when they decide between an exclusively Democrat list of candidates.
This means Republicans already retain 50 of the 101 offices. Democrats have secured 9. So, just 42 House seats will be determined by the November elections. Many Incumbents Win By Default
Adams says The cops compounded their abusive attack on the driver, crushing his testicles, blasting pepper spray over his face, tasering him repeatedly, and generally beating the snot out of him. Ware was never 'under arrest', but they cops were dead-set on getting his car. This is a felony assault which should result in prison time for any police officer. But if a person dies while a felony is being committed, everyone guilty of the felony is also guilty of the murder, under Oklahoma law. This court precedent would compel the District Attorney to charge the surviving cop with the murder of the dead cop, if that rationale was strictly followed.
But first the young driver needs to be able to present his full evidence of just what actually happened and why he was moved to the use of lethal force when met with the police use of lethal force.
