The feeling I have is that something is going on at my daughter's school. She doesn't want to go. She won't talk to me or her mother as to why. So I asked the school secretary to have someone...

Wow. Just wow. Kevin Aylward of Wizbang! has pursued a precise definition of exactly what C-Span's policy is and will be in regard to its content. He won a very important liberalizing (in the enforcement sense) victory, as detailed in...

Lynne Stewart Gets Slap on Wrist, Claims It's Persecution

Terrorist lawyer who smuggled messages sentenced. She should have gotten life for her flagrant abuse of the civil rights system of this country. Every lawyer who violates the law like her is one more endangerment to the civil rights...

The Effects of Divorce on Real Estate

The bottom line on this question is always, "Whatever the courts say." Divorce law is complex, and different from state to state, and even when you think you've got a clear message in the law as written, the courts may...

Local News is treating the Marine Investigation as if guilt were an established fact, rather than merely under Investigation Report: Local Marines Killed Women, Children Military officials said Thursday that a criminal investigation into a firefight in western Iraq that...

The Supreme Court and Distortion of the Political Process

Looks like Alito was confirmed this morning, in the most partisan supreme court confirmation vote in history, 58-42. Here's the roll call vote, but it's easier to just remember that except for Nelson (NE), Conrad (ND), Johnson (SD) and Byrd...

Samuel Alito Confirmation Vote

Strata-Sphere has called for a RINO Stampede on the subject of Alito's confirmation. Dick Durbin has said he'll filibuster. Professor Bainbridge was first out of the box with an item saying he doesn't want the "nuclear option" used. I agree....

Number one sign that Alito will be confirmed: Democrats Push to Delay Alito Hearings. If someone is fighting a delaying action, it's another way of saying "Lose slowly and maybe something will happen". In this case, they're just hoping the...

Judge Samuel Alito Nominated to Supreme Court

The president has nominated Judge Samuel Alito for Supreme Court. Different take here. Obvious analysis here. More information here. Captain's Quarters discounts the filibuster option, Michael Barone tells why the Donkeys won't want to filibuster him. Among the legal...

Harriet Miers Withdraws

Looks like Harriet Miers has thrown in the towel. Withdrawal letter here. I have mixed but mostly bad feelings about this. Oh, I agree she wasn't necessarily the most impressive candidate possible. Nonetheless, she was (is!) qualified, and what was...

Harriet Miers Supreme Court Nomination - An Epiphany

It turns out most of us have been chasing a false trail. Here is actual new information about the Miers nomination in the Houston Chronicle. Business leaders are backing her because they think she'll be good for tort reform. Obvious...

Harriet Miers Nomination: Fish or Cut Bait

Lots of stuff flying around today about the Miers nomination. Except for Beldar's excellent factual examination of Miers experience as opposed to Roberts', it apprears to be all tail-chasing. You got some new information, or a truly unconsidered viewpoint, I'm...

Harriet Miers, Qualified and Nominated but Underwhelming

President Bush has nominated White House Counsel Harriet Miers to fill Sandra Day O'Connor's seat. It certainly seems in character to pick someone he already trusts. I don't know enough about her to judge her qualifications or politics, but given...

President Bush Gets Another One Right. OK, so the response to Katrina has been unacceptably slow. So the president has decided to do something about it. No, not floggings. They're going to review disaster plans before something else happens, so...

Yeah, Joe Biden has that effect on me, too. Seriously, Dread Pirate Judge Roberts appears to be doing well in the hearings. Not that he has any serious or principled or intelligent opposition. Captain's Quarters has a good analysis of...
