Nevada Attorney General Blindered by Liberal Politics »
(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) With Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto it is not about the law or the constitution, it is all about liberal politics. How else can one explain why she took a pass when the governor ordered her to join two dozen other states in challenging ObamaCare in federal court, but she leaps at the chance to join 22 other states and D.C. to contest the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United that [...]
Obama Puts Twice as Many Jobs in Jeopardy While Trying to Protect Jobs »
(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) This week Obama slapped a 31 percent tariff on solar panels imported from China, accusing the nation of “dumping” them on the American market with the help of illegal subsidies for its industry. (Pay no attention to Solyndra or the $50 million U.S. subsidy for that Canadian-owned solar panel array in Primm and just about every other “green” fiasco this administration has thrown tax money at.)

Indeed, one of the first orders of business was forcing a vote on [...]
