Q: Comment: Mitch McConnell represents the absolute worst of American partisan politics. I think Dana Milbank is justified in saying that McConnell has wrecked the Senate as a defensive bastion of the minority against the majority. Harry Reid holds some responsibility for starting the fight, but McConnell was behind the original plan to deny Obama and - that's ANY - appointments to lower courts. McConnell attacked the administration by crippling the lower courts.

McConnell should be hanged by the neck until dead, for treason against the Constitution, which he swore upon the Bible to defend with his life.

Q: Comment: A reporting glitch is no small thing when we're measuring crime statistics.  One could argue that the sloppy reporting reflects an institutional bias towards women who put forward sexual assault complaints.  You're right to highlight the discrepancy between St. John and Toronto.  That's probably because in Toronto the assaults are not even recorded and because woman don't report them since they know they'll be dismissed. 

Also, different jurisdictions will have different ideas on what these categories mean.  Overall, these statistics show that the system is not working and is in a poor state.  Winnipeg has almost none dismissed, but then again, they don't all make it to court, so what's going on there?

A:
Non-threat
