I’ve been giving serious consideration to finally joining the NRA.

The people who want to take away your guns (and they would if they could) almost always are the same people who want to control every aspect of your life, from the health care you get to the sodas you drink to the pain...

I am pleased to announce that Antonio F. Branco will begin contributing political cartoons created exclusively for Legal Insurrection.

And you wonder why nothing gets done in the Senate and Republicans can’t even get votes on legislation or a budget?

Via The Hill:

Up to his usual games, via The Hill:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has scheduled a vote Tuesday to bring up legislation to extend tax relief to small businesses that increase their payrolls.

Republicans question whether it...

I’ll admit I don’t understand all the intricacies of the U.S. Senate Rules, but moments ago Harry Reid pulled the “nuclear option” in order to prevent Republicans from forcing Senate Democrats to vote on Obama’s jobs bill.

As reported by The Hill (h/t Marathon Pundit):

In a shock development Thursday evening, Senate Majority Leader...

Reid blocks attempt by McConnell to vote on president’s jobs bill

Do you need to know anything else?  If so, the article is here.

S&P has dropped the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+:

The United States’ credit rating was cut for the first time when Standard and  Poor’s lowered it from triple-A to AA+, citing the country’s looming deficit  burden...

The debt deal “trigger” requires that one-half of the budget cuts come from the military if the “super committee” cannot reach agreement or if the Congress fails to pass the super committees proposal.

We don’t know all the details of the negotiations between Mitch McConnell and the White House which apparently are closing in on an agreement, but one thing is clear, Harry Reid has become a sideshow.

A frequent commenter quoted this post by Erick Erickson at RedState:

A week ago, the United States House of Representatives sent a bipartisan measure to the United States Senate where it fell five votes short of a majority.

Today, John Boehner sent over legislation that couldn’t even get all the Republicans to support...

The third version of the Boehner bill just passed the House.  (218-210, 22 Republicans voted against, no Democrats voted for.)

We are on the verge of a significant — although not very satisfying or triumphal — achievement.

Now Harry Reid gets to do what he does best.

The Senate Republicans better not sell out.

Supposedly the bill will come to a vote tonight in the House, and Harry Reid plans to kill it soon after.

Why doesn’t the House just wait until the morning to move it over to the Senate (help here, can the House sit on it overnight once it passes?) so that all...

Harry Reid, still reeling from his failure to kill the surge in Iraq, is planning to kill the Boehner bill tonight if the bill passes the House...
