Jefferson City. We’d heard the rumors over a day ago. Then we saw this:

Jane Dueker @JaneDueker
Missouri Capitol security concerns raised by @SenatorNasheed to the Department of Public Safety re: @EricGreitens. Add these to suspicious package and arrest of accused pedophile staffer. No everything is not ok in JC.
[….]
3:48 PM – 19 Apr 2018

Senator Jamilah Nasheed (D) sent a letter to the Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety yesterday asking for increased security at the capitol complex. There’s this paragraph in the letter:

“…There are additional unconfirmed rumors circulating the Capitol involving an incident at the Greitens’ Innsbrook home involving troubling behavior, the presence of firearms and a member of the Governor’s cabinet. While these reports are unconfirmed…”

It’s long past time to clean up this mess. The Missouri House of Representatives has the authority and the obligation to do so.

Ladies and gentlemen, your right wingnut controlled General Assembly – again (December 9, 2013)

Thanks to Brian Nieves and his pal Doug Funderbunk Missouri is still a laughingstock (January 21, 2014)

Here we go again… (January 22, 2014)

From the National Rifle Association:

Missouri: De-facto Gun Owner Registry Legislation Moving In Missouri Senate! Call Your Senators NOW!

Posted on February 12, 2014

Last night, during debate on Senate Bill 613, anti-gun Senator Jamilah Nasheed (D-5) was able to attach an anti-gun provision to SB 613.  As previously reported, this anti-gun language was introduced as legislation in January that was originally contained in Senate Bill 556 and Senate Bill 565, both sponsored by Senator Nasheed.  This modified anti-gun language would require every person to report the theft of a firearm they possess to a local law enforcement agency.  Any missing firearm must be reported within 72 hours of the time he or she knew or “reasonably should have known” that the firearm had been stolen.

[….]

Your NRA-ILA has opposed this anti-gun legislation nationally for years.  It seeks to create a de-facto gun owner registry as well as place unknown civil liabilities on the gun owner.  Law-abiding gun owners should not be made a victim twice.

Action on this legislation is expected IMMEDIATELY in the Missouri Senate.

Please call your state Senator NOW and urge them to vote “NO” on SB 613.  Contact information for your state Senator can be found here or below.

[….]

No, that’s not an article from the Onion.

From the February 11, 2014 Journal of the Senate:

Journal of the Senate [pdf] 254

Senator Nasheed offered SA 5, which was read:

SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 5

Amend Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 613, Page 32, Section 1, Line 6, by inserting immediately after said line the following:

“Section 2. Upon becoming aware that a firearm has been stolen, a person shall have seventy-two hours to report such theft.

Section B. If any provision of section A of this act or the application thereof to anyone or to any circumstances is held invalid, the remainder of those sections and the application of such provisions to others or other circumstances shall not be affected thereby.”; and

Further amend said bill and page, section B, line 1, by striking “B.” and inserting in lieu thereof the following: “C.”; and

Further amend the title and enacting clause accordingly.

Senator Nasheed moved that the above amendment be adopted.

[….]

[emphasis in original]

The Twitterverse is all abuzz with requests to pass the popcorn:

Yael T. Abouhalkah ‏@YaelTAbouhalkah NRA now OPPOSES pro-gun bill in MO after anti-gun Democrat outwits pro-gun lawmakers. (Got it?) [….] 3:40 PM – 12 Feb 2014

Tony Messenger ‏@tonymess

Proving again that the #moleg is broken, the NRA is now opposing @briannieves unconstitutional nullification bill. [….] 3:39 PM – 12 Feb 2014

Yael T. Abouhalkah ‏@YaelTAbouhalkah

@tonymess @briannieves So pro-gun bill could be sunk by pro-gun NRA angered by anti-gun @SenatorNasheed? Or, will GOP “stand up” to NRA? 3:46 PM – 12 Feb 2014

Tony Messenger ‏@tonymess

Note to #moleg: When passing a fake bill that is never intended to become law, it helps to not attach actual amendments that do things. 3:46 PM – 12 Feb 2014

Sean Nicholson ‏@ssnich

@tonymess @briannieves But not because it’s unconstitutional or seeks to jail federal law enforcement folks 3:47 PM – 12 Feb 2014

Really, pass the popcorn.

Jamilah Nasheed, missouri, Penny Hubbard, Redistricting

Not every turncoat Democrat in the Missouri House has an office on the third floor of the Capitol with the Republican leadership, but if a Democrat does have an office there, she might as well tattoo “traitor” on her forearm. Admittedly, you already knew what to think of Jamilah Nasheed and Penny Hubbard for their vote Wednesday to hand the redistricting goodies to Republicans. Traitors both. Thanks to them, Democrats are consigned to having only two of eight Congressional seats–hardly representative of the way Missourians vote.

Nasheed and Hubbard share office 317. They belong in the august company of Rodney Hubbard and Ted Hoskins, who were also on the third floor–and deserved to be.

What doth it profit a woman if she gains the whole world and loses her own soul? But for a third floor office, ladies? Well, they might be getting a lot more for their treachery than the office space, but I wouldn’t know about under the table deals.

Nasheed is claiming that she did it to protect Clay’s seat.

Nasheed, who said some House Democrats threatened to kick her out of their caucus for her vote, said she was not concerned with what the Democratic Party wanted the map to look like, explaining, “I’m black before I’m a Democrat.”

“My concern is the 1st Congressional District and what is good for the 1st Congressional District,” she added.

Right. Like having only two Democrats instead of three in the Missouri delegation to the House is likely to help the people in the 1st Congressional District? She just handed Paul Ryan another vote in his war on poor people, and there are plenty of poor, BLACK people in the 1st.

Don’t try to sell us that bullshit, Nasheed. Just take your thirty coins of silver and shut up.

Four Democratic traitors in the House

Jamilah Nasheed, Karla May, Michael Brown, missouri, Penny Hubbard, vote on redistricting map

FiredUp! reports that four House Democrats–Jamilah Nasheed, Penny Hubbard, Karla May and Michael Brown–voted for the Republican redistricting plan. The first three of them are from St. Louis and Michael Brown is from KC. Hubbard defeated the Rev. James Morris last August for the seat in HD 58. Ain’t this a shame. Morris was an excellent Democrat.  Considering that these four just voted for a plan that would leave Democrats permanently condemned to hold two Congressional seats out of eight, they don’t even deserve a D after their names.  

As Sean points out, there were three Republicans who voted against the plan because it was too partisan. It was pure partisan poppycock and these four should hang their heads in shame.

Jamilah Nasheed, Land Assemblage Tax Credit, Missouri Legislature, Special Session

PubDef has some pretty good coverage of the ongoing special session (here, here, and here.) Essentially, the House GOP defeated a motion by State Rep. Jamilah Nasheed (D-St. Louis) to vote on the Land Assemblage Tax Credit (the one that’s basically tailored to one man – Paul McKee in North St. Louis) separately from the rest of the bill. Strangely, the House leadership then ruled out of order an amendment offered by Jeannette Mott Oxford to reduce the acreage requirement from 75 to 30, which would allow smaller developers access to the credit. House Speaker Rod Jetton ruled that it was beyond the scope of Matt Blunt’s call for special session. Jetton used the same logic when Rep. John Burnett (D- KC) tried to amend the anti-scalping repeal to limit scalpers to a 20% markup.

In other words, Matt Blunt gets to tell legislators exactly what to legislate, and they have the privilege of being able to vote on it. That ought to be fun when Jay Nixon becomes governor in a year.
