A CRYING SHAME

Jeffrey Toobin reports in his new book on the Supreme Court that liberal Justice David Souter was so distraught at the 5-4 decision ending the Florida recount and effectively confirming the election of President George W. Bush that he broke into tears when he thought...

CHANGING OF THE GUARD

Political scandals of recent years demonstrate that the abuse of power is a non-partisan issue — Democrats and Republicans alike have been accused of using their positions of influence to receive money and sex. Our Founding Fathers showed great wisdom in...
