• Preliminary investigation begins for Larry Craig ethics hearing. Barbara Boxer says:

We are in the process of conducting a preliminary inquiry, and this stage is always closed to the public. If, at the end of the preliminary inquiry, the Ethics Committee decides to move into the adjudicatory phase, any hearings held would be public unless the committee votes to close them. But that is a decision that is made after we have completed our preliminary inquiry.

The Democrats are also reportedly worried public hearings will set a potentially embarrassing precedent.

• Trans activist Donna Rose, who quit the HRC over the ENDA debacle, wants us to support HRC:

People were looking for someone to stand up and say, ‘Our community and the self-worth of any individual part of our community is more important than the political practicality that goes into any legislation.

It’s not so much HRC’s politics that Rose appreciates, but their breadth. Obviously Rose is a size queen.
