From The Reporter’s Notebook
TPM’s Tierney Sneed reported on an anti-gay marriage bill in South Carolina that compared the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision to decisions okaying Japanese internment and forced sterilization. When asked by TPM where the language in the bill came from and whether an outside group helped write it, sponsor Rep. Mike Burns said he worked together with legislators in Tennessee, where a similar bill was introduced in September.

From a TPM Prime member: “Cotton is a strong proponent of hardline policies in favor of Israel and against Iran; he’s a young legislator from a safe seat with impeccable educational and military credentials. Why wouldn’t Kristol and the rest of the neocons shovel as much money as they have at him? It ain’t bribery, it’s an investment.”
