Harvey Weinstein is currently facing sexual assault and misconduct charges from prosecutors in New York and Los Angeles . The court proceedings come nearly two years after reports revealed allegations detailing a disturbing pattern of harassment and abuse against young actresses and associates during his producing career . Despite a decades-long reputation for inappropriate behavior with women , Weinstein led a legendary career in film and television and used a large chunk of his profits to back Democratic lawmakers and causes . That rumored behavior was revealed to be part of a larger pattern of sexual misconduct in an October 2017 New York Times report that detailed nearly three decades ' worth of sexual harassment allegations against him from women in Hollywood . The disturbing allegations surfaced in the Times ' and other reports stood in stark contrast to the high-powered producer 's long career and vast influence among Democratic lawmakers . In January 2020 , Weinstein was facing charges based on allegations ranging from forcible groping to rape from prosecutors in New York and Los Angeles . Here 's a chronology of how he acquired and was abandoned by his political-influence empire : Weinstein 's political involvement began in the early 1990s . Weinstein began to make contributions to the Democratic Party in 1991 , when he gave money to Sen. Barbara Boxer of California and Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont . Over the next few years , he gave relatively small amounts — all $ 2,000 or less — to Sens . Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein , along with several other Democratic senators . He also began giving to Democratic Party organizations for the first time , initially to the Democratic State Central Committee in California . Weinstein began supporting the Clintons in the mid-1990s . In the later half of the 1990s , Weinstein began donating to a broader set of politicians and doing so much more frequently ahead of the 1996 and 1998 elections . He also made his first contribution to the Clinton family at the start of Bill Clinton 's re-election campaign in 1995 and made his largest donation up to that point in 1996 when he gave $ 10,000 to the Democratic National Committee Services Corporation . As a result of his rapidly growing financial ties to the Democratic Party , he began appearing at events with Bill and Hillary Clinton and other party heavyweights like Sen. Chuck Schumer . Weinstein invested both time and money to support the Democratic Party and Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election . Although the Democrats lost that election , Weinstein continued to build close ties to the Clintons in the early- and mid-2000s . In the early 2000s , Weinstein continued to contribute frequently to Democratic politicians across the country and contributed tens of thousands of dollars to the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2002 . Weinstein became actively involved in promoting and supporting the Democratic legislative agenda . He expanded his contributions to include PACs and advocacy groups in the mid-2000s . In the mid-2000s , during the 2004 and 2006 elections , Weinstein poured money into the coffers of Congressional candidates , political action committees ( PACs ) , and various liberal charitable causes . He also supported Hillary Clinton 's 2004 Senate re-election campaign . He also notably supported Al Franken 's run for senate in Minnesota in 2007 . Weinstein 's influence in Washington continued to grow in the early Obama years . Throughout the late 2000s , Weinstein continued to support the Clintons , throwing his weight behind Hillary Clinton 's presidential campaign in 2008 . He contributed thousands of dollars to her PAC and her campaign . But after Barack Obama beat Clinton in the Democratic primary in 2008 and went on to win the White House , Weinstein threw his weight behind him and appeared at public events with members of the first family . Weinstein 's individual political contributions grew larger and larger after the 2008 presidential election . Weinstein supported Obama in his re-election campaign . Weinstein contributed vast sums of money to Obama 's reelection campaign in 2012 . During this period he also began supporting progressive Democratic firebrands like now Senators Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren . Weinstein thrived as a financial donor under Obama . During Obama 's term in office , Weinstein continued to support influential Democratic candidates like Sens . Al Franken and Chuck Schumer . He also gave his largest single contribution ever of $ 32,400 to the DNC in 2014 . Politicians continued to join Weinstein on red carpets and at galas . Weinstein was even honored with a cultural activism award from Harvard University 's Hutchins Center for African and African American Research in 2014 when he received the W.E.B . Du Bois medal the same year as notable figures including Maya Angelou , Democratic Rep. John Lewis , and Oprah Winfrey . Weinstein supported causes , backed by Democrats , that he felt would help the arts and advance the progressive agenda . When the Times published a damning report in October 2017 on Weinstein 's decade of misconduct , top Democrats who had ties to the producer were quick to condemn him . `` I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein . The behavior described by women coming forward can not be tolerated , '' Hillary Clinton said in a statement days after the report was published before pledging to donate the $ 1.4 million he contributed to her 2016 presidential campaign to charity , according to Politico . Politico reports that Obama , whose eldest daughter Malia interned with the Weinstein Company one year earlier , was under pressure for nearly five days to openly condemn Weinstein before he issued a statement saying he was `` disgusted . '' The initial allegations turned into a full-blown sexual harassment scandal , which raised concerns for active politicians who were supported by Weinstein . After years of building and consolidating his power among Democratic presidents , politicians , and organizations , Weinstein 's influence began to dissipate after multiple sexual harassment and misconduct claims surfaced . The Democratic National Committee was heavily criticized for not committing to returning all of his contributions from over the years , as multiple reports noted the committee had been struggling for support since the 2016 US election . The allegations against Weinstein rocked Hollywood and Washington alike . In addition to revealing the network of wealthy , elite figures in media and entertainment who became intertwined with politicians of their choice , Weinstein 's case also set off a cultural movement that toppled lawmakers and dominated the conversation around President Donald Trump 's administration . In the year following initial allegations against Weinstein being brought to light , nine members of Congress announced they would be resigning or not running for re-election amid misconduct allegations .

In a span of about 30 seconds Saturday evening , Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome disputed a comment made by Dallas Cowboys general manager and owner Jerry Jones , and shot down an ESPN report about what the Ravens planned to do Thursday with the sixth overall pick . Newsome acknowledged the Ravens did try to trade with the Cowboys to move up to the No . 4 pick in the first round in order to draft Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey . The Ravens offered the Cowboys the sixth overall pick and one of their fourth rounders , but Dallas declined , not wanting to risk losing out on the guy they coveted , Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott . Jones said late Thursday night that Dallas did n't make the trade because the Ravens were going to take Elliott . `` We tried to trade up for Jalen , '' Newsome said . `` You know that . '' Newsome also maintained that the infamous video of Laremy Tunsil smoking marijuana through a gas mask was not what pushed the Ravens to draft Ronnie Stanley over the Mississippi tackle . The video surfaced just minutes before the start of the first round and was partly responsible for Tunsil , once the favorite to be selected No.1 overall , falling to the Miami Dolphins at 13 overall . ESPN reported Saturday morning that the Ravens planned to pick Tunsil , but changed their minds after seeing the video . The Ravens were aware of the video , but Newsome has said the team had Stanley ranked higher than Tunsil all along . `` There 's a lot of speculation , '' Newsome said . `` We tried to move up to get Jalen , OK ? And we stacked the board . '' Ravens coach John Harbaugh added , `` The thing you you 've got to remember , there was a good chance that Ronnie Stanley was going to be taken at [ No.3 ] . There 's always scenarios . You never know how the board is going to come off . But Ronnie Stanley was on the top row . You ca n't get any higher than that . '' Ravens vetted 4th-round lineman closely : The Ravens liked Nebraska offensive lineman Alex Lewis ' versatility as he has played left and right tackle , along with left guard . But before they felt comfortable selecting him , which they ultimately did with the third of their five fourth-round picks Saturday , they first did extensive work on his background . Baltimore Ravens Insider Lewis was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail and two months of probation for his role in a 2013 altercation in Boulder , Colo. that left an Air Force cadet unconscious . Lewis ultimately transferred from Colorado and played his final two seasons at Nebraska , where he was a team captain . `` We brought him here to Baltimore and we spent the whole day with him , and we were really able to spend a lot of time talking about who he is and who he wants to be , '' said Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta . `` At that time , he passed all the tests . '' Jefferson goes in fifth : Defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson became the third former Maryland player taken in the draft when the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the fifth round with the No . 147 overall pick . Jefferson was selected after the Pittsburgh Steelers took defensive back Sean Davis in the second round and the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Yannick Ngakoue in the third round . It 's the first time since 2009 that Maryland has had at least three former players taken in the draft . Jefferson enjoyed a breakout 2015 season that featured 6 1/2 sacks and 12 1/2 tackles for loss . At 6-foot-4 , 291 pounds , Jefferson has the versatility to play both as a defensive tackle and a 3-4 defensive end . End zone : Baltimore native and former City standout Charles Tapper , who played his college football at Oklahoma , was selected with the 101st overall pick in the fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys . Auburn defensive back Blake Countess ( Olney ) was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round … The Ravens started signing undrafted rookie free agents immediately following the draft . Their undrafted class will include Harvard offensive lineman Anthony Fabiano and Stony Brook pass rusher Victor Ochi . … Newsome said the Ravens had several opportunities to trade a few of their five fourth-round picks , but the team decided going into the round that it would only move them for future draft picks . The Ravens did n't get an offer they liked , and made the five selections . jeff.zrebiec @ baltsun.com and don.markus @ baltsun.com Daniel Gallen of the Baltimore Sun media group contributed to this story .

As loved ones gathered Thursday to remember the life of George Floyd , whose death in Minneapolis custody sparked nationwide protests , the Floyd family 's attorney , Benjamin Crump , gave an impassioned plea for America to `` not cooperate with evil '' but instead to continue protesting against it . `` We can not cooperate with evil , '' he said . `` We can not cooperate with injustice . We can not cooperate with torture , because George Floyd deserved better than that . We all deserve better than that . '' Crump referred to Floyd 's final moments under the knee of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin as `` inhumane '' and invoked Martin Luther King Jr. 's call to action . `` The plea for justice is simply this , '' Crump said . `` Dr. Martin Luther King said , 'He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it . He who accepts evil without protesting is really like cooperating with it . ' '' Full coverage of George Floyd 's death and protests around the country Crump told mourners that Floyd died not of the coronavirus pandemic , which has killed more than 100,000 people across the country , but instead of an unspoken pandemic generations in the making . `` I want to make it clear on the record , '' Crump said . `` It was the other pandemic that we 're far too familiar with here in America — the pandemic of racism and discrimination — that killed George Floyd . '' Floyd tested positive for COVID-19 , according to an autopsy . Crump went on to encourage all Americans to continue pouring into the streets , calling for peace and justice against a system that he said all too often treats black people as less than human . `` So America , we proclaim as we memorialize George Floyd : Do not cooperate with evil , '' he said . `` Join the young people in the streets protesting against the evil , the inhumane , the torture that they witnessed on that video . '' Floyd died May 25 after he was accused of passing a suspicious-looking $ 20 bill at a corner store and arrested by Minneapolis police . Minutes later , Floyd was face down in handcuffs on the pavement with Chauvin , who was later fired , pressing his knee into his neck for nearly nine minutes . Passersby recorded the incident as Floyd begged for air . Chauvin was arrested Friday and initially charged with third-degree murder before the charge was upgraded Wednesday to second-degree murder . Minnesota authorities have already launched a sweeping civil rights investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department .

Medical mistakes , not murder , killed his 41-year-old girlfriend , a North Little Rock man accused of beating the woman to death told a Pulaski County jury on Wednesday . Parnell May , 46 , is charged with capital murder , and prosecutors are seeking a life sentence in the trial before Pulaski County Circuit Judge Leon Johnson . The proceedings , scheduled to run until Friday , resume at 9:30 a.m. today at the county courthouse , the first murder trial since the pandemic began last year . Ann Marie Mireles ' `` death was not a homicide , '' May told jurors in his opening statement . `` [ Mireles ] did not die by any injuries . [ Her ] death was the sole province of Mother Nature . '' Deputy prosecutor Melissa Brown said in her opening that May had subjected the woman to a `` severe and prolonged beating '' that left Mireles with more injuries than doctors could count . Brown said he used a metal pipe and a wooden stick found in the couple 's home that were marked with Mireles ' blood . `` Ann Mireles ' injuries tell the story of what the defendant did to her , '' Brown said . Arrested the day after Mireles ' December 2016 death , May had the woman 's blood on his clothes and boots when sheriff 's deputies arrested him , Brown said . Her blood was even found on the money May had in his pocket , the prosecutor said . May also had Mireles ' phone with him , and investigators found pictures of the woman lying on the floor of the home that were taken around the last time authorities know for sure Mireles was alive , Brown said . A neighbor found Mireles unconscious , heavily bruised and not breathing on the steps of the Vaughn Road home she shared with May . Paramedics rushed her to the hospital where she was pronounced dead . May said the rescuers ' efforts to resuscitate Mireles , including chest compressions , caused her death , inflicting tremendous liver damage among other injuries . `` This is the absolute truth , '' May said . `` There is exculpatory evidence that proves Parnell May is innocent . '' May told jurors he and Mireles had been in a fight the night before while both were drinking heavily but denied playing any role in her death . May , a fifth-grade drop-out , was addressing the jurors himself because he has insisted on acting as his own lawyer for most of the proceedings . He 's occasionally accepted offers of legal representation and advice , only to later reject them . He 's being allowed to represent himself on the condition that he accepts having a stand-by attorney , Lee Short , who will take over his defense if May becomes disruptive . This is May 's second trial . His first , in January 2018 , was marked by May 's continuous angry outbursts , rambling diatribes and repeated arguments with witnesses , which resulted in the judge prematurely ending that trial . Bailiffs had to pull the shouting defendant from the courtroom then as shocked jurors , some in tears , were escorted out of the courtroom . A five-time felon with a history of violence , May was convicted of manslaughter in Louisiana for fatally stabbing his older sister 's boyfriend in April 1991 in Opelousas when May was 15 . He was sentenced to six years in prison in February 1992 . His sister , 29 , who gave May the knife he used , was also convicted of manslaughter and received a one-year sentence .

Buffalo Police Officer Arrested , Charged With Civil Rights Violations CONTACT : Barbara Burns PHONE : ( 716 ) 843-5817 FAX # : ( 716 ) 551-3051 BUFFALO , N.Y.-U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced today that Robert Eloff Jr. , 40 , of Buffalo , NY , was charged by criminal complaint with two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law and one count of conspiracy to deprive an individual of rights under color of law . The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $ 250,000 fine . “ This area is extremely fortunate to have brave and selfless women and men serving as police officers whose sworn duty is to protect and serve , said U.S. Attorney Hochul . “ As has been said many times , the vast majority of our police discharge their responsibilities with the highest standards of professionalism and honor . But when an officer misuses his position and engages in unjustified violence – this Office will investigate and bring charges as appropriate. ” `` When government officials act under color of law , it is imperative that their actions are not willfully unreasonable and in violation of Constitutionally granted rights , said Brian P. Boetig , Special Agent in Charge of the Buffalo Office of the FBI . “ Incidents of unlawful actions by law enforcement officers reduce trust and confidence in the entire criminal justice system and make it more difficult for noble and honorable officers to beget the community 's support to enhance public safety and the overall quality of life . '' Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Guerra , who is handling the case , stated that the defendant is charged in connection with two separate incidents at Molly ’ s Pub in Buffalo in 2014 . According to the complaint , in the early morning hours of February 15 , 2014 , Eloff used his position as a police officer to strike and kick a victim identified as R.D . on his head and face . The attack happened while the victim was handcuffed behind his back and physically compliant . The incident happened after R.D. , who was under 21 , was pushed out of the bar by a bouncer for using false identification . Once outside the bar , the victim was approached by the defendant who was wearing a shirt that said “ POLICE , ” a gun and handcuffs . According to the complaint , Eloff handcuffed R.D . behind his back and took him to the side of the bar along with another police officer . The complaint further states that after the victim did not answer questions from the officers , the defendant became angry and punched the victim in the right eye . After the victim fell to the ground , Eloff then put his knee on R.D. ’ s head . The victim was also kicked in the head . R.D . was subsequently arrested and taken to the Erie County Holding Center . According to the complaint , a witness ( Witness 1 ) who was with the victim at Molly ’ s Pub , told investigators that during the assault , the victim did not oppose Eloff and was screaming “ stop. ” According to Witness 1 , a second witness , identified as Witness 2 , recorded the incident on his cellphone . But , according to the complaint , another officer made Witness 2 delete the video from his phone . Witness 2 did take two photographs of the incident . As for the second incident , in the early morning hours of May 11 , 2014 , William Sager was pushed down a flight of stairs at Molly ’ s Pub by Jeffrey Basil . Sager later died of his injuries and Basil was convicted in state court of murder . At the time Sager was pushed by Basil , Eloff was in Molly ’ s Pub working security for the bar . According to the complaint , a victim identified as D.H. was with William Sager the night he was pushed down the stairs . The complaint states that D.H saw people carry Sager outside after he fell down the stairs . When the victim went outside , Sager was propped up , sitting the on the ground . As he was asking officers what happened , Eloff grabbed D.H. and told him to get out of there . The victim then walked away and called 911 . When other officers arrived , the victim asked for Eloff ’ s name and badge number at which point he was arrested and handcuffed by Eloff and seated next to Sager . D.H. was later taken from the scene by other officers . According to the complaint , Eloff told officers that D.H. had physically interfered with Eloff and others inside the bar . A later review of surveillance video from Molly ’ s Pub revealed that the victim never confronted or was physical with Eloff in the bar . According to the complaint , Eloff caused D.H. to be arrested for trespassing , a crime he never committed and conspired to do so . The criminal complaint is the culmination of an investigation by Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Buffalo Police Department , under the direction of Commissioner Daniel Derenda . The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty .

SIOUX FALLS , S.D . ( KELO ) — The day after a conservative online publication accused South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem of having an affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski , the Governor cited “ rumors ” as “ total garbage and a disgusting lie ” in a Twitter post . The “ American Greatness ” piece that said Noem was having an affair cited multiple unnamed sources . Noem used her Governor Noem Twitter account to denounce what she called “ rumors ” on Wednesday afternoon . “ These rumors are total garbage and a disgusting lie . These old , tired attacks on conservative women are based on a falsehood that we can ’ t achieve anything without a man ’ s help . I love Bryon . I ’ m proud of the God-fearing family we ’ ve raised together . Now I ’ m getting back to work , ” Noem said on Twitter . “ Multiple sources have informed American Greatness that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is having an extramarital affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski , who previously served as a campaign manager for Donald Trump .

NRO : Finally , They Tossed Out That Classy , Polite , Dignified Incumbent ! Rail funding in jeopardy as key House sponsor ousted by Americans Abercrombie lied : Clayton Hee to head DHHL ? Sources told KITV 4 News that Big Island Democratic State Sen. Josh Green has applied for the state health director 's position . Green is an emergency room doctor who 's vice chair of the Senate health committee . He 's considered by some Democratic party insiders to be a rising political star . Kaneohe State Senator Clayton Hee , also a Democrat , is being mentioned as a potential director for either the state Department of Land and Natural Resources or the Department of Hawaiian Homelands . Hee is a former chairman of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustees . He and Abercrombie served in the legislature together in the 1980s and Hee is one of the few legislators remaining in office who ’ s a contemporary of the incoming governor . Reached for comment early Thursday night , Hee said : `` I 'm interested in helping Neil be the best governor in whatever capacity . Right now , my focus is re-organizing the Senate , '' a process underway following the election to Congress of Senate president Colleen Hanabusa . “ I ’ ll serve Neil ( not the people ) to the extent he needs me , ” Hee said . “ That service may be in the Senate . Who knows ? ” ( Of course Hee would destroy DHHL to enrich Sandwich Isles Communications . This is obvious to even the casual observer . At this point we would like to remind our readers that the AFG Fact Check website includes this item under “ False Rumors and Attacks ” ... ) QUESTION : Will Neil appoint Clayton Hee to head the Department of Land and Natural Resources or the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands ? ANSWER : NO . This rumor is completely unfounded to stir up opponents of Senator Hee against Neil . Furthermore , Neil has not even thought about whom he might appoint to any position if he is elected Governor . He has made no decisions , has made no promises , and has not had any conversations with anyone about a possible cabinet appointment . Neil ’ s entire focus is on winning the election . The simple fact that a Hee appointment is no longer dismissed out of hand shows that Neil Abercrombie is a liar . read more Peter Principle : Transsexual , other elected BoE members expect Abercrombie to appoint them to BoE Transsexual Mr Kim Coco Iwamoto ( whose campaign was endorsed by many key Abercrombie campaign insiders ) said she ( sic ) too would like to be considered for an appointment , `` if the governor-elect has been impressed with my student-focus service on the BOE '' and with the overwhelming support she got from voters . She did not take a position on an elected versus appointed school board before Tuesday 's election . read more Inouye : Akaka Bill “ not a priority ” Hawaii 's Akaka bill to bring self governance to native Hawaiians OHA cronies appears dead in its tracks with Republicans taking over control of the U.S. House in January . Hawaii 's Sen. Dan Inouye ( D ) said , `` the odds of the Akaka bill passing are very bad . '' `` I want to be upfront and candid because I do n't want people to have their hopes unjustifiably raised . At this stage , it is not one of the so-called priority measures , '' said Inouye . Republican U.S. Rep. Charles Djou said he might have been able to help with the Akaka Bill if he had been re-elected . He was defeated Tuesday by Hawaii State Senate President Colleen Hanabusa ( D ) . Djou said if he had remained Hawaii 's First Congressional district representative , he could have participated in the majority caucus in the House to push for Hawaii legislation . `` The Akaka Bill is going to be doubtful now without a bipartisan Congressional delegation from Hawaii , '' said Djou . REALITY : Inouye : “ Odds of passing the Akaka Bill are bad ” Djou : Won ’ t rule out future run When pressed on his political future , he would not speculate . `` Could this be my last race ? Yes , '' he said , before adding : `` Never say never . `` I wo n't completely rule it out . Really , right now I 'm looking forward to opening a new chapter in my life . '' … '' Honestly , we were going up against Goliath , and the Democratic machine is just powerful here in the state , '' Djou said . `` I thought we had a good message talking about fiscal responsibility and a bipartisan congressional delegation , but our message did n't carry the day , '' he added . `` The machine 's message of a unified monolithic congressional delegation and for more government rather than less -- that 's the message that won , and mine did not . '' … Djou now holds the distinction of being the only congressional incumbent voted out of office in Hawaii . But he is hardly damaged goods , said Neal Milner , professor of political science at the University of Hawaii . `` He just looked so crestfallen after losing I 'm not sure that question is even very relevant to him right now , '' Milner said . `` But if he wants to stay in politics , there 's always room for a smart Republican . `` He 's as good as any Republican candidate they 've got right now . '' Djou plans to return to Washington to finish the lame-duck session that begins Nov. 15 . He does not expect any controversial issues to come up , `` but Congress is always full of surprises .

It 's administered by the Hawaii National Guard and funded jointly by the state and U.S . Departments of Defense . Officials said the Kulani program is an attempt to redirect some of the 6,000 youths that dropped out of Hawaii 's public schools in the last year . Only half of those who applied for the program are accepted due to lack of space . ( Democrat activist Kat Brady failed to block dedication for the former prison as a school .

Ige in WAM is a surprise , but I would say is a good compromise between Baker and Kim . But Hee in Judiciary…we ’ ll have to see how that goes . But now I ’ m curious , who in the Senate is joining Abercrombie ’ s administration team ? - Shan constantly gets underestimated by the political experts , pundits and know-it-alls on the railing ( he beat an incumbent in his first run when a union poll had him losing by a wide margin ) . He works . He listens to people . He gets along with his colleagues ( including folks in the losing faction ) . The floaters ( Clayton , Willie ) always play . Roz Baker ’ s group ( which includes David Ige ) is always willing to talk . Shan ’ s group comes to decisions and can count to 13 . BTW Glenn Wakai starts his new career in the State Senate like he did in the House , picking the wrong group in organization– the difference is up to four years in Siberia before the next election instead of two . Josh Green pinned some of his confirmation for Department of Health hopes on voting with the so-called favorite ( Russell Kokubun ) . Note that Labor has been folded into the Judiciary committee under Clay . . . The new House Judiciary chair will have “ Fun times ” handling civil unions and other bills . But with Clay in power , DLNR folks should be relieved . This is just like trying to figure out the Soviet Politburo by examining where they stand on the Kremlin Wall during military parades . read more Abercrombie to flood Democratic Party with Obamabots , wipe out old boy factions Important for the 72-year-old fiery Democrat are changes to his own state Democratic Party . `` I intend to be very active on that , '' Abercrombie said . `` I mean in taking the terrific foundation of grassroots and what I like to call 'netroots ' ( nutroots ) participation and expansion and parlay that into active Democratic Party membership . '' He has seen the payoff in party registration from the 2008 surge , thanks to excited islanders drawn to the Democratic Party caucus to vote for Hawaii-born Barack Obama . ( The old boys successfully marginalized those annoying Obamabot outsiders , now Abercrombie will use theses ready-made cult followers to smash the remnants of the Inouye wing of the party while intending to maintain the one-party grip on Hawaii politics . Think “ Cultural Revolution ” with Abercrombie as Mao Zedong and Inouye as Deng Xiaoping . Of course , this is not a military dictatorship , so Abercrombie invites wayward Republicans to come in out of the cold : ) TOTALLY RELATED : Obama voters a no-show at Hawaii Democratic caucuses read more Oshiro to introduce Civil Unions bill again When asked whether he was hopeful , too , Abercrombie smiled . `` Where marriage or any kind of union between adults is concerned , I 'm always filled with what Bob Dylan said about Columbus when he sailed into America , 'Good luck ! ' '' … Rep. Blake Oshiro authored that bill , and held onto his seat in the House after challenges from former City Councilman Gary Okino — a vocal opponent of gay rights — in the primary election , and Sam Kong in the general election . Kong called civil unions a `` slippery slope '' on his campaign website . `` I will be introducing civil unions legislation again , '' Oshiro told Civil Beat Thursday afternoon . `` I will be talking to all of my colleagues to see what level of support they have , and whether they are interested in co-introducing it . '' Oshiro said there will be some minor `` technical '' changes to the new legislation , as compared to last year 's House Bill 444 . He said the new gubernatorial leadership makes him hopeful , but cautiously so . `` It looks optimistic but it 's really too early to make any real accurate predictions about the viability of getting it passed , '' Oshiro said . `` There are a lot of different things between the introduction and the final vote . '' ( Kremlinology Tip ) But what happens with civil unions will depend largely on who is named judiciary chair .

( Abercrombie sworn in Dec 6 ) The environmental impact statement is being reviewed by the state Office of Environmental Quality Control and has yet to reach the governor 's desk . Lingle has said she would share the financial analysis and leave the decision on whether to sign the environmental review for the next governor .
