Prior to her current position at the University of Richmond School of Law, Tara served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. She currently lives with her husband and two small children in Richmond, Virginia.
Governor Bob McDonnell is trying to play down the outrage over an intrusive law mandating unnecessary medical procedures by calling it a “kerfluffle,” suggesting he is trying to “empower women,” and spreading other misinformation about the bill. A resident of Virginia responds.
Early this morning, I learned that Governor McDonnell had ordered a SWAT Team to cover a Candlelight Vigil I attended the night before at the Governor’s Mansion. Riot police were hiding in the bushes, while my two small children and I sang, “This Little Light of Mine.” And that was only the beginning of my lesson.
