Democracy is a simple system, so simple that elections were successfully handled in Athens before the time of Christ. In its simplicity is its nobility of one-man one vote.

These are the nights when schools around America are filled with Harry Potters, soldiers, Draculas, and Disney princesses—at least those schools that still observe Halloween. There may be parades, parties, and picture-taking—and enough candy to keep dentists’ chairs occupied for the next year.But this Halloween I find myself contemplating something scarier than any Halloween fright mask—even a Nancy Pelosi “Speaker of the House” mask.Read more…Prelude to Hillary/Warner ‘08
With all the debate and discussion in regards to the 2008 Presidential race, I’ll throw in my two cents. At first, I thought maybe Mark Warner (D-Virginia) really does want to spend time with family and live a normal life. Yea right!Read more…PowerHouse—Or Corrupt House of Power?
Two weeks to Election Day and like the rising tide that lifts all boats, the rising mounds of excrement in political ads make me want to throw up! Sadly, what should be an exciting and productive time in our history has degenerated into the lowest common denominator for the American people.

While the campaign against the Arm Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) in Manipur and elsewhere in the North East has been going on for many years, it was the arrest and custodial killing — including the alleged rape or sexual molestation — of a young Manipuri woman named Manorama Devi in 2004 that sparked off a more intense movement. Since that incident Manipur and other areas of the Northeast has been simmering. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh promised later that year that he would set up a committee to make recommendations for a more humane law.Read more…Marriage Ruined The Rule Of King Charles I

Since the very foundation of this country the groups that have been most disenfranchised and most often attacked were those who would fight for equality. Though the abolitionists and the feminists eventually won their battles, the most often attacked political group and those who completely lost their battle in America were those who fought for economic equality.

In a recent debate with Nadine Strossen, Associate Justice Scalia once again outlined his reasons for supporting an interpretation of the Constitution's text based on meanings given to words in the document at the time of its framing, and used affirmative action as an example of how not to interpret the Constitution's text. In a surprise move, he appeared to threaten that some future conservative majority on the Court might use the liberal approach of "inventing rights" to interpret provisions of the document in ways we will come to regret, warning "[s]omeday, you're going to get a very conservative Supreme Court and regret that approach."
