Tim Scott - black Republican in the deep South

This is interesting.

There's a guy -- a Tea Party guy, I think he's a freshman congressman, named Tim Scott (Republican-South Carolina). He introduced a one-sentence jobs bill in the House of Representatives, and it passed.

The Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act [colon -- or semicolon] prohibits the National Labor Relations Board from ordering any employer to close, relocate, or transfer employment under any circumstance. That's it. That's his bill. Everybody can actually read that one. The US House of Representatives has passed South Carolina congressman Tim Scott's bill to prohibit the National Labor Relations Board from ordering any employer to close, reelect, or transfer employment under any circumstance. The one p.m. vote," it was yesterday, "broke largely along party lines as expected with the Charleston area Republicans colleague supporting his bid to limit the federal agency's authority." This is all about Boeing.

"Tim Scott proposed this legislation this summer in response to the National Labor Relation Board complaint against Boeing. The NLRB alleged that Boeing build a second 787 Dreamliner production facility in South Carolina in retaliation for union strikes at its main Washington state aircraft plant. His bill (which again is called) Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act prompted a heated debate on the House floor. The proposal is not expected to clear the Senate," of course. That's still all Democrat -- well, enough Democrat votes to stop it. Again his name is Tim Scott, Republican -- and he's, by the way, black; and he has the full-fledged support of the Tea Party, which many people say is not possible because of course the Tea Party's racist.

There is an executive summary of the bill, and it's four sentences longer than the bill. You want to hear the executive summary? Again, a one-sentence bill and an executive summary of four sentences. "HR-2587 would prohibit the National Labor Relations Board from ordering any employer to close, relocate, or transfer employment under any circumstance. The bill would amend the NLRB, or National Labor Relations Act, to prohibit the NLRB in future and pending cases from ordering any employer to close, relocate, or transfer employment under any circumstance. The legislation would effectively prevent the NLRB from restricting where an employer can create jobs in the United States. The bill would eliminate an extreme enforcement remedy available to the board. More than a dozen alternative remedies remain available to hold employers accountable. The bill would apply to any complaint for which a final adjudication by the [NLRB] has not been made by the day of the enactment."

Congratulations, Congressman Scott. Simple, straight to it, one-sentence bill.

By the way, Tim Scott is historic, too. Tim Scott is the first black Republican congressman from the Deep South since Reconstruction.
