Impeachment

What next? The facts are undisputed. The email was racist; its content despicable. It was forwarded by a sitting federal judge, indeed the chief judge of the district. Is this a wrong that can be righted by an apology?

"Hillary Clinton, our junior senator from New York, announced that she has no intentions of ever, ever running for office of the President of the Unit...

When even Maxine Waters and Nader are shrieking about Obama, it's high time the Obama supporters get over their excessive denial and man-up. America needs to pull together to reverse this gigantic mistake and right this foolhardy experiment.

The American military continued in a support role -- exactly as Obama told us would happen -- and the outcome, at this point in time, has to be judged a clear success.

Our president is on the road again. Flying in, in his personal executive jet, Air Force One.

The silly season has come early to Washington, it seems. The root cause is a simple fact of American politics these days -- sometimes, there just can't be transparency.

WASHINGTON -- While some have asserted that the debt limit might be unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, and therefore President Obama does not ...

Newt Gingrich, I think it's safe to say, has had a terrible week. It seems like just opening his mouth makes him unpopular. But it's worth looking back to see if he was ever popular, and if so, when.

The sudden involvement of the U.S. military in Libya has prompted some intense debate over whether the executive branch has the right to pursue milita...

Obama's attack in Libya is as ill advised and mismanaged as his Afghanistan surge or his domestic stimulus-spending circus. Without the approval of t...

If Mr. Justice Thomas takes allegations he committed perjury for 13 years seriously enough to defend himself before a recent Federalist Society dinner, then they're certainly serious enough to warrant formal investigation of said allegations.

While he doesn't seem to even want to participate in his day job, Thomas certainly does engage in the kind of partisan politicking that is not only unseemly, but sets a terrible precedent.

Barbara Charline Jordan, who would have turned 75 this month, was certainly no ordinary freshman. Her debut in Congress in 1973 has never before or since been equaled.

I am not a lawyer, but I have read the Constitution. At the end of Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution the following phase sits: "The House of ...

WASHINGTON — The Senate wrapped up its first impeachment trial since the 1999 case against former President Bill Clinton, scheduling votes for W...

Members of Congress have abdicated to the president their constitutional responsibilities because of slavish devotion, staggering constitutional illiteracy, and a vassal-like conviction that the executive branch knows best.

So much for making nice Mr. President, the gloves are off as the Republican leadership comes out swinging. These folks don't want to work with you, or...

We typically like the idea of two sides locking horns and compromising on the matters of the day. But the era when Republicans would compromise with a Democratic president is long gone. Welcome, everyone, to the suck that never ends.

Professor G. Calvin McKenzie of Colby College was the last witness in the trial to impeach District Judge G. Thomas Porteous of New Orleans. But the episode demonstrated how impeachment trials are so very different from regular trials, and just how dim Judge Porteous' prospects are.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge from Louisiana is corrupt and unfit to serve on the bench, House members said Monday as they began a rare congressi...

Candidates' ability to ally progressives with Democrats (and tea partiers with Republicans) may well determine the outcome of the 2010 and 2012 elections.

David Bromwich is channeling the lost conservative voice of Edmund Burke, the missing wisdom on our mad Afghanistan misadventure.
