The nature of the hostility directed at me has changed over the years. In 2008-2010, it was mostly Obama supporters upset that someone who taught at an Ivy League law school would dissent.  I guess they figured their love letters weren’t working, so that has...

Elizabeth Warren is running hard left in her rhetoric, but the reality is she served big companies in her extensive private legal practice and got paid big, big dollars for it. At the first debate, Brown scored big points on Warren’s representation of Travelers, for...

Quick takes on the debate which just ended. End Result — As with most of these things, people will see what they want. I’d say while Brown won hands down the first debate, this one was more even.  Brown won big on Warren’s personal problems,...

Four Cherokee women went to Boston this week to try to meet Elizabeth Warren to show Warren genealogical evidence proving that Warren has no Cherokee ancestry, and to explain to Warren why her continued insistence that she is Cherokee is offensive. One of the Cherokee women, Twila...
