The Roberts Confirmation Follies!

Highlights (or lowlights) from the Roberts confirmation hearings: Senator Leahy claiming that confirmation hearings are the only chance Americans get to find out what kind of justice a nominee to the Supreme Court will dispense.

Guess what, everyone? Ambassador Bolton was right about the UN!

This hasn’t received much attention because of the hurricane, but the Volcker Commission findings on the Oil-for-Food scandal are in. And they are damning.

What is the issue? Bush is the issue!

After suitable expressions of contrition and self-abasement for having refuted the notion that President Bush caused the storm, he uses a newspaper account of cuts in funding for...
