40,000 new laws take effect in 2014


(CNN) - It may have been the least productive year for Congress in history, at least in terms of passing laws – fewer than 60 of which made it through the House and Senate and were signed by President Barack Obama.

Across the country, however, state lawmakers were busy getting more than 40,000 bills passed, ones that tackle everything from drones to food stamp benefits.

In Illinois for example, teenagers will no longer get to use tanning beds without a doctor's note. If you live in Delaware, visit the shark fin buffet while you can, a new law will make it illegal to own, sale, or distribute the controversial delicacy. And in California, new laws take effect that will let students take part in school sports, or use bathrooms based on their gender identity, regardless of the gender noted in their birth certificates.

Legendary attorney, Harvard law professor, and author of "Taking the Stand" Alan Dershowitz joins "The Lead" to discuss some of the other fascinating – and controversial – new laws of 2014.

Dude, I wanted to call a person a fcking liberal pus$$y idiot moron crybaby tonight.  Seriously.

I know we rag on people as libtards because they refuse to call Palin brilliant or think just maybe newt wasn't all that faithful, but there are seriously people out there who fly into a rage over such inconsequential shit, just dying to be offended and tell the whole party about it. 

Really, sorry to derail, but just had to share.  Carry on.

It was the year with the least legislation you moron, your comment makes no sense, but that's exactly what I expect from you. If libtards liked more legislation then discontent should be at an all time high, yet you suggest they love it. You are stupid tony, well, not stupid but certainly of average to below average intelligence. I think the best word to describe you is average, it fits you to a tee, just average.

While the US congress had the least legislation, the states have decided to make up for it.

But that's what we all wanted right?

States rights, not federal.

the law saying that a Ford F-250 with dualies has to be 36 inches from a 90 pound woman on a 10-speed is an EXCELLENT RULE.

It's common sense safety, and will keep a lot of people from being sucked under vehicles.

I can see bitching about the sheer volume... but we all know that every year, some new laws are enacted which are actually good.

Those are some specific metrics there. What they need is built in weight sensors along the path, with some form of notification for the driver or safe speed distance based on the riders body weigt and stride pattern.

each law is a cost

judge programs by results not intentions
