The Democrats spent a lot of time accusing the Benghazi hearings of being political. They said it was wasteful. They were right, but it was they who politicized it.

Rubio called it on Syria, but what about Obama?
“Here’s what you’re going to see in the next few weeks: the Russians will begin to fly combat missions in that region, not just targeting ISIS, but in order to prop up Assad. He will also, then, turn to other countries in the region and say, ‘America is no longer a reliable ally, Egypt. America is no longer a reliable ally, Saudi Arabia. Begin to rely on us.’”

Bad Judgment Abounds in Kim Davis Case
Again, her civil disobedience while principled, forgets the fact that she's a public servant is not free to choose which policies she supports. Perhaps she's simply following the example of sanctuary city mayors, or Presidents with their pens and phones, so maybe her confusion is understandable.

Nikki Haley: More Than a GOP Rockstar

The Obama Administration Loses a Battle in Its War on Coal
The Obama Administration Loses a Battle in Its War on Coal In an effort to regulate coal plants out of existence in accordance with President Obama's war on coal, the EPA recently argued before the Supreme Court that they did not have to weigh the costs of new environmental regulations against the supposed benefits. In a ruling announced on Monday, the Court said no, instructing the EPA to conduct a cost/benefit analysis before implementing the rules. Some may consider this the Courts way of throwing conservatives a bone after two landmark decisions went against them, one dealing with the legality of Affordable Care Act subsidies, and the other legalizing same-sex marriage. Conservatives see both cases as the Court rewriting the law and using tortured language to make the law fit their desired outcome. The Obama administration and EPA may have lost a battle, but fully intends to win the war. This decision is in reality the SCOTUS telling the EPA what they need to do to win, in effect coaching them. The EPA will come up with wild predictions on cost savings, not unlike the supposed savings brought by Obamacare. Like those, these will be just as bogus and the Supreme Court will totally buy them.

Does Justice Roberts realize that he just made the Court all but irrelevant as a means of upholding the Constitution? Apparently upholding legislation, even horribly written legislation, is more important.
Exploiting the SC tragedy– already.
What conservatives are, (at least social conservatives) is Pro-Life. Who's life? Everyone's-- minus perhaps those Islamic extremist who would kill us and all not like them. I'm pretty sure no terrorists were attending that Baptist prayer group.
