Liberals despise a legislative process that is open and conducted under regular order.  That is why they seek to pass the most sweeping, consequential, and onerous pieces of legislation through expedited means.  Their plan to rush through an ‘amnesty now, enforcement never’ bill is the latest example of their aversion to a transparent legislative process. In an effort to prevent Senate Democrats from jamming through | Read More »

From the diaries by Neil One of the problems we find in politics these days is the rash of bills with rather Orwellian titles. The best example in recent years is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (you know, Obamacare). But fortunately, some things have titles that are all too appropriate. The Law of the Sea Treaty is one of them, which is rather | Read More »

I meant to talk about the cybersecurity bill on Monday as it’s a big story. But, it’s gotten even bigger since. You see, a broad spectrum of Republicans is coming out against it. Names like Kay Bailey Hutchison, John McCain, Mike Enzi, Saxby Chambliss, Jeff Sessions, and even Lisa Murkowski are against the crazy Rush Harry Reid and the Democrats are putting on the bill | Read More »

Heather Higginbottom, President Obama’s nominee for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is a smart and honest person — which is probably why she found it so difficult, under questioning from Sen. Jeff Sessions today, to run interference for Obama’s pathetic solution to our deficit problems. Watch the whole thing, but particularly note the end, where Sessions points out that the | Read More »

Only in Washington can politicians get away with complaining about a government shutdown, while going on vacation for a whole week. Senate Democrats took to the air on Sunday to warn the American people about a government shutdown on March 4th.  They argued that the Senate may not agree to the House passed Continuing Resolution (CR), because the bill’s $61 billion in cuts to spending for the remainder of | Read More »

President Obama’s budget is debt to me.  The President’s budget does not implement promised cuts to spending, taxes nor the federal debt.  The budget goes in a different direction increasing spending, increasing taxes and triples our national debt by end of this decade.  I am not the only one who dislikes the President’s budgetary ideas.  The President’s budget has been received on Capitol Hill like a Sputnik | Read More »

Anti gun activist Elena Kagan’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court hits the Senate floor today.  Ironically, this is the same day that the Washington Post reports that a federal judge in Virginia refused to dismiss a challenge to ObamaCare’s mandates.  This case is going to the U.S. Supreme Court, yet many Senators are not willing to put up a real fight before this left wing extremist is | Read More »

With all the attention on President Obama’s bungling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the news of Congressional calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate of an alleged job offer by the Obama Administration to get Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) out of the Pennsylvania Senate race has been pushed down the news pages. This is a serious matter and something that | Read More »

The House and the Senate will be working frantically to get work done by the end of the week on some defense measures and a tax extenders bill before the pending Memorial Day recess.  “Train wreck” — That is what Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said is on the horizon for the confirmation of Elena Kagan. The Senate will commence work today on a $59 billion War Supplemental.  ”Don’t | Read More »
