There is something pathological in Elizabeth Warren’s refusal to acklowledge that she is not Native American. When confronted with the fact that real Cherokees have traced her maternal lineage back to the great-great-great grandparent level and found no Native American ancestry, Warren ignores the facts...

I just want to get this straight. Everyone knew Obama supported gay marriage, but didn’t say so when campaigning for president in 2008 and 2012 for political reasons. Everyone knew the “evolving” meme was BS, Obama was just waiting for the right moment, preferably after...

Bob Turner won the race for the Congressional seat vacated by Anthony Weiner.  (Oh, what a night.) Redistricting in NY State looks to eliminate his district, something that was anticipated even before Turner’s victory. So Turner is striking back, and has just announced plans to...

The Hispanic Republican Conference of the Texas House of Representatives endorsed Governor Rick Perry for President of the United States – before most anyone had even considered his running. Didn’t anyone tell them they aren’t even supposed to be Republicans? If Texas is any judge,...

King & Spalding dumped the House of Representatives as a client in DOMA litigation after coming under threatened protests and boycotts by groups opposed to DOMA.  A key aspect of the threats was that protesters not only would protest King & Spalding, but would go after...
