What remains unchanged or has worsened under Obama?

105. No. Those he had nothing to do with and assume it only made the list because feds ignore the federal

fight against such klanish bigotry and violations of the civil rights of women and gay people, once the feds stepped in against discriminatory state laws against black students but no such federal help can be expected to protect our woman's civil liberties under this administration.

Too bad the patriot act was not a State issue, then only some of us would be screwed by it. I was referring to federal laws where good state legislators can not protect us from right wing policies, my current worry is his support of an old energy company employee that loves fracking which he placed in charge of Energy and who like Obama would like to see fracking expanded and continued. We are fighting it pretty hard at the state level in NY and hope the feds will respect our wishes, unlike the complete disregard shown for State laws passed legalizing sane medical marijuana use.
