Obama has yet to keep his promise to give Americans five days to review any bill that he will sign

Look, I'm 100% pro-gay marriage, I was outraged by what happened on Nov. 4 and marched in rallies on Nov. 5. But today's ruling was judicially sound. Even though I disagree with the amendment, that doesn't make the amendment itself unconstitutional. So lets save our fight for another day.

"The federal government says Real ID will protect Americans from terrorists. I disagree. I believe it is a clear violation of the 10th Amendment, redefining privacy as we know it, and creating a mountain of new bureaucracy and increasing fees and taxes — all without making us any safer."

When police officers commit crimes, they should be charged with more severe criminal charges, for they are effectively committing two crimes

Cheney soundly rebuked: "One of Al Qaeda's goals, not just to attack the United States, it's to prove that we're hypocrites, we don't live up to American principles. So when we use torture and abuse, we're playing directly into one of their stated goals."
