On today's CNN Newsroom, anchor Kyra Phillips went after the kids who supposedly bully a 10-year-old boy who refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance because homosexual marriage isn't widely accepted. Some of his classmates allegedly call him names. Phillips's weapon of choice was name calling: And a message to you boys who are bullying Will, shame on you. It's obvious you are jealous that Will is...
Last week, the West Virginia Supreme Court issued a well-deserved slap in the face to a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court, which all too often makes up the law out of whole cloth to meet its latest view of...
Two CNN programs ran news briefs on a new study on movie popcorn from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, but omitted its left-wing affiliation. Anchor John Roberts mentioned the group by name on Wednesday’s CNN Tonight, but didn’t mention its liberal politics. His colleague Kiran Chetry didn’t even mention CSPI by name during her brief on the study on Thursday’s...
The Wall Street Journal reports: Justice Anthony Kennedy got into a messy situation this month after a widely circulated report that his office made a school newspaper get permission before running an article about the justice. It turns out the incident at New York’s Dalton School wasn’t the only such case.... In an interview with The Wall Street [...]
Sarah seems to be a subject of great fascination. She was charming, smart, and funny on Hannity last night. Yes, her political points were shallow - but more substantial than "hopey-changey." Here's her book tour schedule . Alas, nothing in New England. From VDH with Palin-odes: The AP supposedly hired 11 fact-checkers to discredit Ms. Palin’s memoir (Did Fox News hire 11 to question...
Peter Wehner : The degree to which Palin evokes fury, contempt, and anger among her critics is nothing short of amazing. It is visceral and almost clinical. And it cannot be based on what she has done (which as governor of Alaska is fairly limited and not terribly controversial), on the views she holds (which are mainstream conservative), or on her relative lack of experience when McCain picked her...
On Bench Memos , I have a series of posts (Parts 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 ) offering not very favorable commentary on USA Today reporter Joan Biskupic’s new biography of Justice Scalia, American Original: The Life and Constitution of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia .
Dick Morris talked about this the other night. What infuriates the liberals most about Palin is not that she is a conservative woman dominating the political stage at the moment. It's that she is a woman dominating the political stage and it is not THEIR woman. These. . . or. . . Human Events : The Rise of the Conservative Woman by Doug Patton One of the most revealing things about liberals is their...

Ten-year-old Will Phillips wants to be a lawyer. Chances are, he may have just earned himself a scholarship. It all started when he refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in a West Fork, Arkansas elementary school. Speaking to CNN's John Roberts on Monday, Will said he remained seated four straight days while his classmates repeated the [...]
Matthew Berry . Not the ESPN guy: the former Clarence Thomas clerk /DoJ/FCC guy. He’s running on a fiscal conservatism/national security/ethics platform; and opposing the infamous Jim Moran, believer in Israeli conspiracies . His statement about Moran’s blathering* on the NYC show trials works for me : “It is wrong for Congressman Moran to question the patriotism of the millions...
In brief comments at the opening of the Supreme Court's session today, Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. expressed "profound sympathy" to retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor for the death last week of her husband John O'Connor III. O'Connor died Nov....
CNN on Monday featured a fifth grade student who is refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance in his classroom until gays and lesbians have equal rights. The boy and his father appeared on CNN's "American Morning," and John Roberts began the segment: A 10-year-old boy from Arkansas is taking a stand by sitting down. Will Philips is refusing to pledge allegiance to the flag in his fifth grade...
The court’s newest justice isn’t shy or apologetic in her questioning of lawyers during Supreme Court oral arguments. During the court’s second two-week cycle of arguments, Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked an average of 11.2 questions per argument, more than Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. at the same point in his tenure, the National Law Journal reports. Roberts asked an average of...
Supreme Courts are remembered by their chief justices -- the Warren Court, the Rehnquist Court, etc. -- but generations from now, historians may look back and reference the Scalia Court for a quick encapsulation of the current era of American jurisprudence. Joan Biskupic, who covers the Supreme Court for USA Today, is the author of a new biography of the nation’s first Italian-American justice:...
