If signed, bill in state of Delaware will double number of registrants required for minor party status
January 30th, 2010 · 6 Comments
On January 28, the Delaware Senate passed HB 245, so the bill will now go to the Governor. The bill would take effect as soon as the Governor signs it. The bill doubles the number of registrants for a party to be recognized from one-twentieth of 1%, to one-tenth of 1%. Richard Winger of Ballot Access News notes that there is case law that says it violates due process for a state to increase ballot access requirements in an election season and then implement that change in that very same election year.

In Patrick Henry’s immortal “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” speech, he said, “[I]t is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth.” Never have Henry’s words been truer than they are today. For too long, good men have [...]

A New Year brings resolutions for flatter stomachs, fatter wallets, and healthier lives. As resolutions are made with hope of improving our lives, there is little in the news that seems to indicate a wealthier new year for most people. 2009 ended with a [...]

January 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment
The fast-growing Constitution Party, America’s ‘Tea Party’ is calling President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech a desperate attempt to calm America’s outrage at an out of control Federal government by offering too little, too late, and more of the same failed programs that provoked America’s ire.

Glenn Greenwald elaborates on just how friggin’ big and bloated the US “defense” budget is over at Salon. My shorter version:
The US spends almost as much as the rest of the world combined on “defense.” It spends six times as much as the next-largest “defense” spender (China), and 29 [...]
