Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will swear in Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the nation’s highest court at the White House Monday evening following her confirmation, according to a report. “Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the official Constitutional Oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett at the White House tonight,” one White House aide told the Washington Times.

Cue the meltdown because one looks like one could hit liberal America very soon. We’ve been haggling over the citizenship question in the 2020 census. It’s been asked before in past surveys. As the Department of Justice was ordered to look into ways to include the key question, AG Barr recently announced that a path might have been found (via Post and Courier ): Michael Macagnone@mikemacagnone AG William Barr told reporters he's found a "pathway" for getting the #CitizenshipQuestion back onto the #2020Census . This comes a day after the DOJ reassigned the lawyers who have handled the case for...

"When they go low, we go high." Yeah, you can pretty much throw that sentiment out the window since the liberals over the past few days have shown, with their harassment of people who either work for Trump or support him, they intend to go low. Very low. And among those excusing their uncivil behavior is one Aaron Blake, a Washington Post reporter of "The Fix" section. Blake performs an analysis of the harassment by liberals and determines that it is an "understandable reaction."

WASHINGTON - House control at stake, President Bush campaigned Sunday in endangered Republican districts across GOP-friendly middle America. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), hoping to become the first female speaker, stumped for Democratic challengers in the left-leaning Northeast. "Here's the way I see it," Bush told a crowd inside an auditorium in Grand Island, Neb. "If the Democrats are so good about being the party of the opposition, let's just keep them in the opposition." Republicans are hoping their party's acclaimed get-out-the-vote operation can prevent a Democratic rout in a campaign marked by voter fury over the Iraq...

<p>Twelve years in the majority, House Republicans are staggering into the final hours of the election campaign like a spent force, with a less than lofty goal of losing seats but clinging to power.</p> <p>Political scandal already has claimed some of those who swept to power a dozen years ago — Tom DeLay, Bob Ney and Mark Foley among them — and tarnished the rest.</p>

Republicans had a good time with John Kerry's botched joke on military service and the Iraq war, and they'll try to keep this blip of a story alive through Tuesday's election, even though the stack of Iraq stories before and after Kerry's gaffe should be of far greater concern to those of us who still think -- and those of us who still believe our votes make a difference. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, blew a zinger aimed at President Bush, and his "joke" ended up sounding like a sneer at the men and women in our all-volunteer military. But...

I have already posted on Democratic Congressman John Dingell's extraordinary equivocation about the nature of Hezbollah: "I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah; I don't take sides for or against Israel." Both Dean Barnett and I have posted on the decision of Demcoratic leadership in both House and Senate to make the November campaign a referendum on cutting-and-running from Iraq. The New York Times on Sunday endorsed Joe Lieberman's challenger and Kossputin's creation Ned Lamont because of the senator's support for the war. Now RawStory reports on Congresswoman Lynne Woolsey's "The Iraq War Powers Repeal Act of 2006," which...

Dean Has 21-Point Lead Over Kerry in N.H. By WILL LESTER Associated Press Writer August 27, 2003, 3:28 PM EDT WASHINGTON -- Howard Dean has grabbed a commanding 21-point lead over rival John Kerry in the latest New Hampshire poll in which voters said they prefer a take-no-prisoners Democrat to one who could oust President Bush. The likely Democratic primary voters are realists who acknowledge that Bush is a formidable foe: Almost two-thirds -- 64 percent -- said they think the president likely will win re-election in 2004. Dean, who trailed Kerry in polls earlier this year, led the Massachusetts...
