Damn it!

Rep. Rochelle Galindo announces resignation in wake of 'false allegations'

Rep. Rochelle Galindo announced Sunday that she is resigning.
In a statement, the Weld County Democrat said: "The allegations against me are false. That said, they will make our fight against the pending recall effort untenable. I will not put my constituents through what will surely be a recall campaign based on political smear tactics and false allegations. Instead, I will resign my seat as the elected representative of House District 50, effective immediately."...

The Weld County Democratic Party HD-50 vacancy committee will appoint her replacement.

The silver lining to this cloud is that Republicans pushing for recall will be denied a chance to replace her, the seat will remain Democratic.

Other than that, we're still waiting for the WTF to shake out. Damn.

The Nuge Boosts Steve Reams As Political Aspirations Grow

Departing from my usual procedure, I'm not posting any content. You can trust the link. All I'll say is that the event is for our gun-slinging sheriff who promises to go to jail rather than enforce gun laws he doesn't like. That said, the headline itself is its own reward.

Looking for an explanation

Forgive my ignorance, but I’m a bit puzzled.

Laws, we are taught, are created by Congress and carry the ultimate weight. So how is it that an OLC policy supplants law?
