<\/a>DEATHS<\/strong>. Judge William A. Norris dies<\/a>: \u201cIn the 1988 case, Judge Norris \u2014 sitting on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, as part of a three-judge panel \u2014 issued a 60-page concurring opinion in the court\u2019s 2-to-1 ruling striking down the Army\u2019s ban on gay<\/a> soldiers.

Democrats boycott confirmation votes for HHS nominee Tom Price and Treasury nominee Steven Mnuchin<\/a>: \u201cRepublicans expressed outrage at the move, while Democrats gathered outside the Senate Finance Committee hearing room to outline their gripes with the selections. \u2018I can\u2019t understand why senators, who know we\u2019re going to have these two people go through, can\u2019t support the committee,\u2019 said Chairman Orrin Hatch<\/a><\/span> (R-Utah). \u00a0\u2018I\u2019m very disappointed in this kind of crap. \u2026 Some of this is because they just don\u2019t like the president. This is the most pathetic thing I\u2019ve seen in my whole time in the United States Senate,\u2019 he added.\u201d<\/p>\n DEMOCRATS RALLY<\/strong>.

Charles Schumer<\/span> (D-N.Y. ) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the Democrats\u2019 protest at the foot of the Supreme Court was marred by a malfunctioning microphone, leaving a vast majority of the bulging crowd unable to hear a word of what the lawmakers were saying. A bullhorn was employed as an attempted remedy, but it failed to carry the message beyond those in closest proximity to the court steps. \u201d<\/p>\n Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party!<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J.
