Amid Closings and Cutbacks, a Modest Proposal to Save Our Courts
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyFederal court administrators announced a few weeks ago that they want to help their colleagues in courthouses around the country improve the quality and consistency of judicial websites, which have been notoriously user-unfriendly for years. This is a good step, and a needed one, and I wish court clerks and judicial technology experts everywhere much good luck with the coming transition. Easy, accessible websites are one of the most cost-effective ways in which the courts can remind people of the vital importance of the judiciary in their lives. That goal means more than ever now, at a time ...
Liz Cheney Blames George Bush for North Korea Situation
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailySince being sworn-in nearly two years ago, President Obama has blamed his predecessor for many of America's problems. Typically, Republicans have pushed back at these assertions, arguing that Obama refuses to accept responsibility for anything. But an exception to this rule can be found in the recent heightening of tensions between South and North Korea: Some prominent Republicans have assigned partial blame to President George W. Bush for mishandling the North Korea situation. Appearing on "Fox News Sunday" this weekend, former State Department official Liz Cheney joined that chorus when ...

Campaign 2010: How George Bush Is Helping GOPers
By David Corn - Politics DailyGeorge W. Bush is doing a lot to help the Republicans this campaign season. By doing nothing. Ditto for Dick Cheney. At a time when congressional Democrats would love to be running against Bush-Cheney Republicans -- rather than explaining why they and President Obama haven't in 20 months fully repaired the economy and created 8 million new jobs to replace the ones lost during the Bush-Cheney crash -- the former president and vice president are not providing the Democrats much of a target. They've been keeping out of sight. Cheney, it seems, didn't have much choice. In mid-July he ...
Opinion: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
By Alan Colmes - AOL News(Aug. 3) -- Conservatives have tried to frame President Barack Obama as a radical leftist who wants to overturn the founding principles of this country. Some even continue to promote the notion that he's a radical Kenyan-born Muslim infiltrating our beloved democracy. Listening to these people during the 2008 presidential campaign, you would have expected Bill Ayers to be the secretary of education and Jeremiah Wright to be in charge of mandatory conversions to black liberation theology. There is nothing like fear to whip people up and create emotional rather than rational reactions. But when ...
Dick Cheney Remains Hospitalized a Month After Heart Surgery
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyNearly a month after having a heart pump implanted to help circulate his blood, Dick Cheney remains in a northern Virginia hospital. Liz Cheney, the former vice president's daughter, told Fox News her 69-year-old father is out of intensive care and hopes to be released this week. "He's looking at fly fishing and hunting dates for later on this year, so we're very hopeful," she said. Before the surgery, Cheney said in a statement that he began experiencing "increasing congestive heart failure." "After a series of recent tests and discussions with my doctors, I decided to take advantage ...
Arianna Huffington vs. PolitiFact . . . and Liz Cheney Escapes
By David Corn - Politics DailyQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? That's a Latin phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal, which roughly means "Who watches the watchmen?" But what's Latin for "Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?" Recently, there was a tussle between blogger/media titan Arianna Huffington and PolitiFact.com that raises this question. PolitiFact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning project of the St. Petersburg Times, vets statements from elected officials and others and rates them on its Truth-O-Meter. Appearing on ABC's "This Week" on June 6, Huffington noted that Halliburton, which has had a role in the BP oil spill, ...
Ann Coulter vs. Bill Kristol: Beginnings of a Conservative Schism?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAnn Coulter's recent column "Bill Kristol Must Resign" may have officially kicked off the next great schism within the conservative movement. At issue is the war in Afghanistan -- and, more specifically, whether Republicans should support President Obama's approach to a conflict that has now lasted for Americans far longer than World War II. Mocking neoconservatives, Coulter wrote: "Bill Kristol [editor of The Weekly Standard] and Liz Cheney have demanded that [Michael] Steele resign as head of the RNC for saying Afghanistan is now Obama's war -- and a badly thought-out one at that. (Didn't ...
Michael Steele Backs Away From Afghan Remarks
By not in system - AOL News(July 3) -- Republican National Chairman Michael Steele backed away from comments putting the onus for the Afghanistan war on President Obama -- and suggesting it may be unwinnable -- but two more leading Republicans piled on the embattled party chief on Saturday. ...
Republican Chief Michael Steele, Under Fire, Backs Away From Afghan Remarks
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyRepublican National Chairman Michael Steele backed away from comments putting the onus for the Afghanistan war on President Obama -- and suggesting it may be unwinnable -- but two more leading Republicans piled on the embattled party chief on Saturday. In a clarification statement Friday, Steele said Obama had "shifted his focus" from Iraq to Afghanistan, and "for the sake and security of the free world, our country must give our troops the support necessary to win this war." History has shown that winning in Afghanistan is a difficult task, he said, but "it is also a necessary one. That's ...
