    Thanks, y'all. It's clearly part of DOE's job to watch out for biological weapons in the pipeline. Hope these agencies are talking to each

    I gotta wonder what led the officers to suspect the women. The quoted article left that part out. I suspect we're meant to assume racial profiling, but there are legal reasons to stop and search...

    As for how the specific changes listed by TMB would be worded, I have no idea - and I'm sure various think tanks and the likes of ALEC are working in it even as we speak. Watch and

    Good question. TMB will have his own thoughts on that subject, but these are mine. Ratification is certainly a very high bar to overcome, but anything is possible, especially given the power of...

    I agree - as I said, I'm very suspicious of motives and agendas. But, like the poor, the human hyenas are always with us. The best we can do is to keep them in check so that they don't ruin the...

    The GOP would not necessarily have a lock on permissible proposals. I know I would definitely have a wish list! The devil being in the details, I would keep an eye on how proposals get added to...

    I haven't thought about this very deeply, I have no problem with a constitutional convention, per se. It reinforces the rule of law and government with the consent of the governed. The genius of the...

    It's her Tucker Carlson impression, with more non-sequiturs. It's the old when-did-you-stop-beating-your-wife gotcha question. Silly me for trying to address it. It's called the complex question...

    It's a meaningless question when you don't bother to specify what kind of protections you are talking about. Pretty much par for the course for you. Much of the legislation in the last 2 years...
