MACDONALD: Could One Convict End Federal Overreach?

33 min 41 sec ago

One of the fun bits about Federalism is watching Democrats hate on it until they can’t stop tripping over each other to embrace it. A great recent example is illegal immigration. Arizona, feeling itself overrun by alien invaders, wanted to protect its citizens, but the Obama Administration got in the way. Immigration enforcement, the courts ... Read more

CARDELLO: I Cannot Believe I Agree with James Carville

3 hours 33 min ago

And hell has frozen over. Never in my adult life did I ever see myself agreeing with James Carville. Carville is an octogenarian political consultant, author, and television pundit who has strategized for Democratic candidates for decades.
