Hillary Clinton campaigned in Iowa and New Hampshire on the basis of her pledge to support the national party decision taking away Michigan and Florida delegates for scheduling early primaries in violation of party rules. Obama and Edwards made the same pledge. Had Hillary not done so, she would have lost Iowa by an even wider margin and lost New Hampshire as well. This contest would be effectively over.

Now, in the wake of her huge loss in South Carolina, Mrs. Clinton has reneged. Yesterday she declared that she would urge her delegates to vote to seat the Michigan and Florida delegates at the convention. Today, to make matters worse, she has announced that she will go to Florida for next week's primary. The woman has no character, and no shame.

There is only one appropriate response to this pitiful conduct. The Democratic National Committee and the New Hampshire and Iowa State partys should promptly decertify all delegates won by Hillary Clinton in those states as a result of her dishonest and fraudulent campaign waged on a promise she has now broken. And no Democrat should vote for her in future primaries. The American people will not elect her.

MOVE OUT, MOVEON. Ending the war, restoring Habeas Corpus, ending unconstitutional torture, illegal detention and spying on Americans, not to mention putting an end to environmental disaster, screwing the poor and politicizing the judiciary, are too important to be left to self absorbed, immature, politically ignorant amateurs.

In Iraq today, at least thirty three citizens were found dead in the streets, tortured and mutilated, and six or seven American soldiers and two Brits were killed in action by insurgents. Meanwhile, in Australia, Steve Irwin, "the Crockodile Hunter," was killed by a sting ray. Guess which story led the news. Read More

It's not the usual political subject, but for lovers of liberty it's important. As a former criminal defense lawyer, permit me a word about the arrest of a suspect in the Jon Benet Ramsey case. Read More

For Dems, public perception of the airplane bomb plot is make or break for November

In a desperate effort to reverse the apparant outcome of the November elections, Republicans are trying to persuade the public that the recent bomb plot by English muslims shows that they are protecting national security while Democrats' plans to exit Iraq endanger it. The facts of the bombing plot prove the exact opposite, but if Dems can't effectively present those facts to the public, they, and we, are lost.

As I predicted here two weeks ago, important decisions rendered by the Supreme Court today and over the last week have clarified the jurisprudence of Chief Justice John Roberts and dashed hopes that he might not be an activist, ultra-conservative ideologue in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia.

With less than four weeks remaining in the October 2005 term of the United States Supreme Court, fully two dozen cases are still to be decided. Like the four cases announced this morning, many of them involve arcane legal issues of relatively little interest to the general public. But, as happens every June, several of the cases left for last minute decision are among the most important of the year, involving questions of substantial legal significance and public concern. Their resolution may shed significant light on the future course of the newly reconstituted Court. Not surprisingly, the picture which emerges is not likely to be a pretty one.
