Sen. Schumer’s Deed Shall Live In Infamy

by Smitty Chuck Schumer appears to have achieved a full metamorphosis: he may be the first Senator to have achieved the full odiousness of the British Parliament which the Founders opposed. From a Freedom Works email: We observed all the rules. Senator Mike Lee reserved the room for us weeks in advance. Every “i” was […]

Shameless Insincerity

by Smitty The stench of everything coming out of the Beltway is rancid. One case in a thousand points of mold is Elena Kagan, via American Power: Douglas also links IBD: Should a justice who participated in ObamaCare’s creation recuse herself from the court’s review of that law?
