STATE HOUSE — In 199 out of the state's 200 legislative districts, voters next week won't have any non-binding public policy questions to weigh in on, but in the college town of Amherst the ballot asks whether the drinking age should be lowered for beer and wine.
The notion of reducing the drinking age for certain alcoholic beverages has not received any traction in the House and Senate chambers, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said it has not studied the issue.
(CNSNews.com) – Former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that the nation will be dealing "for decades" with the fallout from FBI Director James Comey's decision in July that "no charges are appropriate" against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her "gross negligence" in keeping top-secret information on her private email server.
"I think the damage that was done to the concept of one aspect of the rule of law, i.e. that the same rules apply to everybody, the damage that was done is something we're going to be dealing with for decades," Mukasey, a former federal judge, said last week during a panel discussion in Washington, D.C. on "The State of Our Law After Comey's Decision" sponsored by the James Wilson Institute on Natural Rights and the American Founding.
