The Meaning Of Ricci
by
Charles Krauthammer
Comment
The Supreme Court's ruling in Ricci v. DeStefano -- that white firefighters suffered illegal discrimination when a promotional test on which they did well was thrown out because not enough blacks did well -- will have no effect on Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court. While overturned on Ricci, she is protected by the four di

Welcome To Obamacare Theater
by
Michelle Malkin
Comment
The White House sure likes to put on a show. Fresh off its joint stage production with ABC News, the Obama administration broadcast another health-care propaganda play this week under the guise of a citizen "town hall." Chicago consigliere and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett managed the floor and human props for Obama. In a telling moment

Sotomayor And Quotas
by

Comment
The Supreme Court's decision this week in the New Haven firefighters case may cause problems for its newest prospective member, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. The court found in favor of a group of white and Hispanic firefighters who were denied promotions despite having passed the city's promotion exams with flying colors. The city threw out the

Hands Off Honduras!
by
Pat Buchanan
Comment
Last Saturday, Honduran soldiers marched into the presidential palace, bundled up President Manuel Zelaya and put him on a plane for Costa Rica. The ouster had been ordered by the Supreme Court and approved by the Congress, as Zelaya was attempting an illegal referendum to change the Honduran constitution so he could run for another term.

Comment
WASHINGTON — It took the Obama administration eight days to figure out whether Iranians being gunned down for protesting a fraudulent election and demanding basic civil liberties deserved to be acknowledged by the president of the United States. It took the O-Team less than eight hours to side with Cuba's Fidel Castro, Venezuela's Hugo Ch

What a fortnight this has been for observing the human animal in his natural habitat. We're reminded daily of the clay feet, the wounded psyches, the angst of the exploiters and the anger of the exploitees. Their behavior runs the table, from naive foibles to deep, tragic flaws, linking the venal with the vulnerable. All is writ large in

Martha’s Big Adventure – I’d Rather Be Liked By Martha Randolph Carr My old mantra was that I’d rather be liked than most anything else.

Murdock: Green-Energy Tax Cuts Over Cap-And-Trade
by
Deroy Murdock
Comment
You cannot fight something with nothing. This simple fact should be chiseled in stone above the House and Senate Republican cloakrooms. House Republicans energetically debated the cap-and-trade bill's myriad shortcomings last week. Alas, they never presented a riveting alternative that would have rallied free-marketeers and further split

'Reconciliation' To Pass Health Bill Won't Work
by
Morton Kondracke
Comment
Liberal health-reform advocates have talked about ramming a reform plan -- including a Medicare-like public insurance option -- through the Senate with only 51 Democratic votes. But a leading Senate player says it won't work. If an attempt is made to pass health reform under "reconciliation" rules -- requiring just a simple majority vote

The Fourth of July is a special time to celebrate what we all share in common as citizens of the United States of America: freedom.

GOP Discovers A Taxing Issue
by
Donald Lambro
Comment
WASHINGTON -- Republican prospects in next year's Senate races are not good, with most analysts forecasting deeper GOP losses, though they could be offset by some Democratic upsets. Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut is running behind in the polls as a result of the role the Banking Committee chairman played in the housing-bubble d

Iraq Is Victorious ... Over The 'Foreign' U.S.?
by
Diana West
Comment
I've been stewing over something really lousy that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been saying since June 20: that Iraqis have won a "great victory" over the "foreign presence in Iraq." That "great victory," as he calls it, is the June 30 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq's cities. That "foreign presence," as he calls it, is th

For Obama, Court Cases That Matter
by
David Broder
Comment
The implicit message, delivered by the Supreme Court majority in two of the most important decisions of the term that ended this week, is that racial discrimination is no longer as big a problem as we once thought. Neither the voting rights case out of Texas nor the affirmative action hiring case out of New Haven, Conn., said that explici

The Big 60: Use It Or Lose It!
by

Comment
Good things don't come easily. It took 239 days, but the Minnesota Supreme Court finally declared Al Franken the winner over Norm Coleman. And suddenly Democrats have 60 votes in the Senate -- and no more excuses. For six months, we've heard nothing but complaining from Democrats: Our hands are tied, they insisted. We can't deliver a publ

On Terror 'No-Fly' List, But Still Buying Guns
by
Clarence Page
Comment
For gun purchasers, should "no-fly" mean "no buy?" People on the government's terrorist watch list tried to buy guns almost 1,000 times in the last five years, a federal study finds. In nine out of 10 cases, federal authorities let them do it, the report finds, because there was no legal way to stop them. And that appears to be OK with th

Dear Governor Palin, You're blowing it. We haven't met, but you might remember I was one of the first columnists to tout you for John McCain's running mate.

Minutemen's Fifteen Minutes Are Just About Up
by
Mary Sanchez
Comment
Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the antics of the anti-immigrant lunatic fringe. Lately, it's been a bit of both. Shawna Forde, a loyalist of the so-called Minuteman movement, which advocates paramilitary policing of the U.S. border with Mexico, was recently charged with orchestrating a "raid" in which an Arizona man and

Lobbyists On A Roll: Gutting Reform On Banking, Energy, And Health Care
by
Joe Galloway
Comment
Remember all that change Americans voted for in November? Well, there's been a change in the plans for change. The detour has come courtesy of a familiar nemesis: DC lobbyists who, this year alone, have watered-down, gutted or out-and-out killed ambitious plans for reforming Wall Street, energy and health care. The media like to pretend t

'I Made A Mistake' Excuse Getting Flimsier By The Minute

Next time some politician goes before the cameras with his figurative pants down around his metaphoric ankles and says, "I made a mistake," let's form a mob and drag him from the podium. You bring the lanterns, I'll bring the pitchforks. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is, of course, the latest. Having bought plane tickets, told his staf

Firefighter Case Shows Seamy Side Of Racial Politics
by
Michael Barone
Comment
The Supreme Court's decision in Ricci v. DeStefano, the case of the New Haven firefighters, was a ringing endorsement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964's ban on racial discrimination and a repudiation of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's decision in the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. While five justices flatly rejected Sotomayo

"President Barack Obama says that he can pay for his goal to provide health care insurance for every American without it. Why isn't that good enough for you?"

A Health-Care Greeting: Welcome To Wal-Mart

Americans agree on health care. Ask them, "Who should pay for it," and they all answer, "Not me." But follow up with, "Who, then?" and you have a fight on your hands. Wal-Mart has greatly improved the quality of the conversation with its newfound support for requiring employers to help pay for their workers' health coverage. Its bombshell
