And now I see that for purposes of avoiding the appearance of impropriety Pelosi is calling for AS to be included over the objections of the territories non-voting representative in Congress.
So what is funny is that in the drive to create stupid controversy, Republicans may very well caused the enforcement of wage protection laws that they disagree with into territories where it is very likely they'll actually have the devastating impacts Republicans always (incorrectly, it turns out) claim will happen in the regular United States.
I'm pretty sure that Republicans would impose communisim if they could do it in such a way that it would be embarrassing to Democrats (and, vice versa, Democrats fascism). All the Republican House members know why AS is different but they'll pretend, because kabuki is fun, that they're outraged while failing to note that Del Monte gives all of its campaign contributions to Republicans.
