Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"

Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion
Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

Government abuse of power
South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society.

Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years
The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

Why did the CIA feel threatened by this? Because I revealed how they smuggled cocaine into the US using a front company called ''Skyway Communications''. ...

Does Abortion Prevent Crime? supporting arguments.
I suppose my subject title would have been better named: Criticisms on Steve Saleirs critique of Levitts theory.'' but since that would be too long and not readily comprehensible, I chose the one I did. Sailer starts with underestimating the reader by saying: ''I suspect that both the readers who have stuck it out with us this far ...

USA would be lost without the ACLU.
One question does come to mind: ''What would Solomon do,'' as well of course, as the now-proverbial, ''What would Jesus do?''The need for the ACLU and groups like it, has never been so painfully apparent as during the last six and a half years of dictatorship in the country.

Note to Dahlia Lithwick et al., re: &amp;quot;redacted.&amp;quot;
Dahlia (and others similarly situated -- at editors' desks and reporters' laptops)... I make humble request that you eschew use of the word ''redacted.''
