Statehouse Update: Fashion, Civil Liberties and Flippin' Congressional Seats

by: Jay Lassiter

Thu Nov 29, 2007 at 01:40:55 PM EST



(Trenton)--It's a 230p press conference with DCCC head Chris Van Hollen that brought me here, but it's the couture that  keeps me engaged.  Afterall, politics and fashion share a cornerstone: one day you're in, and the next you're out.

And the lameduck session gives legislators, staff, press and bloggers alike a chance to showcase their winter looks.

Today is no exception and some of our pols are looking sharp.  (Who grew a goatee?  Who's rocking the Chanel?  Don't you wish you knew!  I'll have to download the pics from home; my statehouse connection is pretty slow....)

In the meantime, there is a lot of buzz around statehoue about Senate bill S-378 that would basically expand the state's DNA database to include samples from teenage shoplifters along with the rapists and murders currently being catalogued..  The bill is sponsored by Democrats Sacco and Sarlo and the more I chat with people here in Trenton the crazier it sounds.  This whole idea was shelved thanks to a last minute intervention from AG Milgram's office.
