Every Other Thursday
Every Other Thursday: Stories and Strategies from Successful Women Scientists | Ellen Daniell
10 posts
This book is the first to compare the freedoms and protections of members of the United States Congress with those of Britain's Parliament. Placing legislative privilege in historical context, Josh Chafetz explores how and why legislators in Britain and America have been granted special privileges in five areas: jurisdictional conflicts between the courts and the legislative houses, freedom of speech, freedom from civil arrest, contested elections, and the disciplinary powers of the houses. Legislative privilege is a crucial component of the relationship between a representative body and the other participants in government, including the people. In recounting and analysing the remarkable story of how parliamentary government emerged and evolved in Britain and how it crossed the Atlantic, Chafetz illuminates a variety of important constitutional issues, including the separation of powers, the nature of representation, and the difference between written and unwritten constitutionalism. This book will inspire in readers a much greater appreciation for the rise and triumph of democracy.

#connectionsedition

1. I love, love, love Etsy! I buy loads of gifts from there. ♥️
2. I had one pen pal. We wrote kind of fictional diaries to each other, but he died very recently. I would write more, but my hand is so arthritic that it hurts, + it‘s barely legible. ✍️
3. Swimming 🏊‍♀️, making playlists for friends 🎶, & reading, natch! 📚
4. Dancing, all kinds, but esp. hip hop 💃🏼

💐 I‘m graduating with my Associate of Arts in May. That puppies been a long time coming.
💐I honest-to-goodness love the fact that I‘m left-handed.
💐I would‘ve made my Dad proud if I had gone into politics. I‘m well-rounded and retain information like a steel trap. I‘m excellent at working a room. 😄😄😄
💐 @ChelseaM6010 🖤

Seekingtardis Yaaay congrats on graduation!!!! 6y
Crazeedi Awww I should have put that on mine, cause I love I'm left handed too!!!! 6y
AshleyHoss820 @Seekingtardis Thank you so much! I‘ve worked my butt off to finish the last two semesters (with straight A‘s) that I should‘ve finished in my 20‘s but kids and life, ya know? 😄😄😂 6y

AshleyHoss820 @Crazeedi YESSS!!! It used to bother me when I was younger, but my Dad went to a left-handed store while on a work trip and bought me notebooks, scissors, etc. It made me appreciate that I‘m special! Plus, in high school, my friends would always find the left-handed desk and put it in my spot before class. 😄😄😄Left-handers unite! ❤️ 6y
wanderinglynn Congrats on your graduation! 🥳 And thanks for playing! 😘 6y
AshleyHoss820 @wanderinglynn Thank you so much! And absolutely!! 6y
