I recommend to my colleagues a Robert Robb column, published in the Arizona Republic, February 3, 2010. In it, Robb points to the massive deficits in President Obama's budget and argues that the administration has no grounds on which to…

during the past few weeks, President Obama has repeatedly professed a commitment to clamp down on out-of-control spending and on deficits. That new development, of course, appeals to many Americans who have become increasingly frustrated…

when I think of what a Federal Reserve Chairman is supposed to do, I think of two key responsibilities: maintaining stable prices and keeping our dollar strong. Unfortunately, Chairman Bernanke's Federal Reserve has not performed well on…

The principal reason there were so few military trials is the tireless campaign conducted by leftist lawyers to derail military tribunals.

You have repeatedly said that your decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Article III courts is because that is where you have the best chance to prosecute.
