The American Left is charging up the hill against the Electoral College again and it is going to have the same result as every other time:  none.  Perhaps its the approaching Spring air and this is sort of the Lefty political equivalent of mating season where all the political animals sort of get wild eyed […]

I just got back from a panel discussion hosted by Hugh Hewitt at Chapman Law School on how blogs are effecting or interacting with the law, in which Hugh did a fair job herding the cats (a.k.a. law professors and practicing lawyers) on the panel and keeping it to its alloted two hours.  Hugh’s a […]

The Washington Post, reliably left as usual, weighed in today with a front page above the fold story wherein they do everything they can to spin this nomination in the worst possible light.  The left political spin begins with the article title Alito Nomination Sets Stage for Ideological Battle, and goes on from there.  Here’s […]
