And exactly why didn't the "No sex change in prison" bill not pass. How is it that something like that didn't pass? Because politicians are too worried about getting votes from every possible section of society. Here, they are worried about getting votes from gays.

The same goes for why the "English is the official language of the USA" did not get passed. Sad to say that both my Representatives didn't vote for it because we have a lot of hispanics in Maryland and they wouldn't want to lose their vote.

Politicians trying to please everybody is the problem. These morons are so worried about doing the right thing for everybody so they can get re-elected, that they are doing the wrong thing for the country or their state by doing nothing.

As far as $52,000 being spent on witnesses in this case, where the operation would only cost $20,000, it makes complete sense. While this single operation would only cost $20,000, what happens after the precedence is set in Court and 100 more inmates ask for the surgery and the state cannot say no. Then the cost is $2,000,000. The media is terrible with their reporting.
