Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Because it’s the last, it’s also the biggest. Really, really big. Hugely big and covering every topic in the news, from the Colorado Court to Sex in the Senate to Israel to so much more.

Pence could still save the day, but the 12th Amendment has a Trump-friendly remedy if Senators refuse to accept Electoral votes. I’m willing to admit up front that mine could be a whackadoodle theory. I’m not a constitutional scholar and I was hopped up on caffeine and really tired when

The House is considering three articles of Impeachment. The Constitution is at issue in questions of Obstruction of Justice, Contempt of Congress and the form of the Senate Trial. Comity and Corruption are at issue as to the Bidens and Abuse of Power. And is this is an unlawful attempted

A Senate impeachment trial must account for the core problems with the House’s Star Chamber impeachment inquiry, the common law of impeachment, and the Founder’s intent. If the Senate is passive, it will be complicit in an injustice to our nation. The following is cross-posted (and slightly edited) from the

The Dem’s have no statutory basis to demand Trump’s impeachment — and Trump has valid defenses to charges that his Ukraine dealings were an abuse of power. This will be a two part post. Part I deals with the law relating to impeachment. Part II will deal with how the

Trying to convince myself that, while a Democrat-majority House will be very, very bad, Trump will not abandon the American people and may still win 2020. In no particular order, here are my thoughts on the morning after an election that saw Republicans gain strength in the Senate, while losing

With Dems revealing their unfiltered totalitarianism, and no Republicans on the California senate ballot, write in Travis Allen’s name for U.S. Senate. UPDATE: I’ve learned, to my dismay, that California disallows write-ins during the main election. Please go here for a different strategy in California. When Democrats successfully turned California

Neither Lauer nor Moore are in court so neither has a right to legal due process. Both, tho’, are subject to either business or political due process. Is there anyone out there reading this post who does not know that Matt Lauer was abruptly fired this morning for sexual improprieties
Continue readingHarry Reid has just succeeded in doing what Franklin Roosevelt couldn’t do: he’s going to pack the court. Yes, Roosevelt was aiming for the Supreme Court, while Reid’s only going after the district and appellate courts, but the reality is that we’re seeing incrementalism. Today, the lower level courts; tomorrow,
Continue readingI don’t know when I’ve ever seen such a devastating video about a Democrat Senate candidate: It makes for especially fascinating viewing if you pair it with Stella Paul’s rundown of Booker’s lies. If you have any contacts at all in New Jersey, you might want to let them see
Continue readingTed Cruz has started his filibuster. With perfect (ahem) timing, I have to leave now to take care of some things for my mother. I will be out of touch with the news. You all already know my thinking about this apparently quixotic effort. Since I’ll miss at least the
Continue readingMost people, whether Democrat or Republican, agree that Ted Cruz’s planned filibuster in the Senate is doomed. It will do nothing to stop Obamacare’s inexorable path towards implementation. (To understand precisely what the filibuster is about, Ace has a good, short explanation.) Because Ted Cruz is nobody’s fool, I’m guessing
Continue readingWhew! I’ve been going straight through since 5:30 this morning, and this is my first chance to sit down and talk politics. The big deal today as far as I can tell is that the House voted to pass a budget that funds everything but Obamacare. I’ve already discussed the
