The New York Times editorial page is urging a filibuster of Judge Samuel Alito. Of course, since by the the Times' own definition only one vote is needed against cloture for a filibuster to occur, they'll likely get it. Frankly, the Times' histrionics on this issue just goes to show you how truly out of […]
The loudmouth doesn't do his homework: "[Justice Ruth Bader] Ginsburg was unanimously confirmed, I mean it was 98 to nothing." No, it wasn't. It was 96-3.
This idiot is one year older than I am and has a weekly column at the steadily declining Los Angeles Times. For more on this moron, check here and here.
Earlier this month I posed a question about whether or not Georgetown Law School professor Jonathan Turley was practicing full-disclosure in his television appearances attacking the NSA surveillance program. When the New York Times broke the NSA surveillance story, Turley went on some Fox News program -- I don't remember which one -- and offered […]
ABC News's chief investigative correspondent, Brian Ross, has broken an incredible story about an ethics scandal rocking the Supreme Court. (via Volokh) At the historic swearing-in of John Roberts as the 17th chief justice of the United States last September, every member of the Supreme Court, except Antonin Scalia, was in attendance.

I pit them against each other because something that Begala said this morning on "Meet the Press" conflicts with something Howell wrote in today's Post. First, Begala on the Abramoff scandal: Mr. Abramoff is a movement, partisan Republican. There's no evidence […]
I saw last week that Scripps Howard News Service had sacked Michael Fumento after he failed to disclose that Monsanto had spent $60,000 to help fund a book that he wrote back in 1999. Fumento finally responded to his firing Thursday, and I must confess that I'm underwhelmed by the entire scandal. Before I go […]
John Hinderaker over at Powerline notes that when the New York Times is leaked a document by someone antagonistic towards Democrats, that they suddenly find their ethics policy and describe the whistleblower leaker and his/her motivations. A copy of the report was obtained by The New York Times from someone sympathetic to the Barrett investigation […]
Today's New York Times revisits the 2003 State of the Union address again and reveals nothing new. Before I quote the Times story, let me pose a hypothetical. Let's say that I want to get a date with actress Jessica Alba. Let's say that I go ahead and call her agent and try to arrange […]
