Chan Lowe: The Supreme Court and the Voting Rights Act

Protection Of Voting Rights Remains Vital
The Hartford CourantThe U.S. views itself as a nation progressing ever toward the ideals of justice and liberty. In many ways it's true.

Long gone are poll taxes and forcing...Tags: Politics, Polls, Elections, Mary Sanchez, Crime, Law and Justice

No time to go weenie on Maryland gun control

Americans risk losing our most sacred right
It suddenly hit me this week: I don't live in the real world. I live in Washington, D.C. In the real world, nobody would argue about renewing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). It's a no-brainer. Violence against women, all women, is wrong. Only...

Notebook: Litmus tests await votes in SD Legislature
It would seem highly unlikely Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg pay attention to the South Dakota House of Representatives.

Guns without roses

Not since "Garbo Talks!" has a public figure's decision to speak attracted such attention.
