In addition to the items above, we'll talk about Jeb Bush's flip flop on immigration, an update on the texting ban and the domestic partnership bill, and a look at a new bill to improve school safety.

Ginger Lang Marshall Vela writes on Facebook: "How could the Legislators reject the Medicaid expansion? It is a win-win for the State. Of course the children, the poor, and the elderly who will suffer are of little or no consequence to them, so I guess that is the answer. It will matter though if one of those lawmakers has to place a loved one in long-term care and finds they are unable to do so. Medicaid pays for this, not Medicare, and I would not be surprised if most of those people are not aware of this. They had better be prepared to stay home and take care of a totally disabled loved one... Their decision is so sad and incomprehensible to me."

Karen from our PIN network: I feel sorry for women in South America, everything this Pope represents tells women they should be ashamed of their sexuality and the only pure female was Mary. Mary had the immaculate conception-we are not going to stand for this sexism.
What role will women have in the Vatican? -
Caller: As a Jesuit, this Pope will deal with things in a logical manner. Do you agree?
