This Judge’s Decision Was Wrong: It’s Not Racist to Not Have Straight-Ticket Voting
This is just the latest in a litany of recent cases on voter ID, early voting, same-day registration, and other administrative rules that have used the same flawed reasoning to come to unsound conclusions that defy the Constitution. This case exemplifies how the dubious legal theory of disparate impact is being used (and abused) to make or stop changes in election administration.

In New Spending Bill, McConnell Sides With Liberals, Ignores Conservative Priorities

One Lawmaker’s Plan to Rein in Spending and Assert Conservative Principles
Before lawmakers in the House could read the Senate’s plan to fund the government after the end of the month, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, was dismissing the measure out of hand, calling it “unconstitutional.” The Iowa Republican has drafted an alternative spending package. And although he admits his plan isn’t likely to pass, he says it provides a conservative benchmark that contrasts with the short-term spending solution pushed by GOP leadership in both the House and Senate.

Carol A. Vance and Loyd S. Pettegrew: What has the Federal Department of Education done for students? The DOE has clearly spent a lot of taxpayer money, but the results are less impressive. Since 1980, during the Carter Administration, America’s K-12 education system has come under increasing control by the dictates of the federal Department of Education (DOE) with failing results, taxing states and filtering the money through Washington to return a portion of it back to the states.

It was the awkward comment heard round the world. At a fund-raiser earlier this month, the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, divided the supporters of her Republican opponent Donald J. Trump into two even groups.
