❌ SB139
Designate Judge Nathaniel R. Jones Day
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Government Oversight and Reform)
Summary
This bill designates May 13 as 'Judge Nathaniel R. Jones Day' in honor of the attorney, judge, and professor of law who was born on that day in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1928, and who committed his life to the advancement of civil rights.
Rationale
The bill does not align with core Libertarian principles as it involves government action to designate a day, which may be seen as unnecessary state involvement in commemorating individuals, conflicting with the LP's emphasis on limited government.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government involvement in personal or historical recognition
- Encourages state-sanctioned recognition which may not align with individual liberties
