The big shock in the Supreme Court’s Obamacare ruling was not that the law was upheld.  Most people thought there was a substantial chance Justice Kennedy would side with the four liberal Justices.

But almost no one thought that it would be Chief Justice John Roberts who would be the swing vote,...

With Jim DeMint leaving the Senate, there’s plenty of speculation as to who Nikki Haley will appoint. 

While Tim Scott has the national attention, there is plenty of South Carolina political intrigue always waiting to happen, so who k...

Wage Class War is a new website set up by the Campaign for...
