What’s going on with the Republican leadership in Congress?

The New Neo Posted on July 28, 2015 by neoJuly 28, 2015

There’s been so much news lately about intra-Republican wars in Congress between the GOP regulars and the conservatives (such as McConnell and Ted Cruz, respectively) that it’s hard to sort out. In fact, I spent several hours last night reading … Continue reading →

Obstructionism and how it works (or doesn’t work)

The New Neo Posted on July 25, 2015 by neoJuly 25, 2015

In the impeachment thread, commenter “Matt_SE” had an idea that sounds good: There are two types of victories to be had: legislative and political. If you can’t get the former, then go for the latter. That USED to be the … Continue reading →

Taking impeachment “off the table”

The New Neo Posted on July 24, 2015 by neoJuly 24, 2015

Commenter “RickZ” wrote the following today: We gave the RINOs the Senate in 2014, only to be told from the get-go that ”˜impeachment is off the table’. That was bad enough, but to give everything Choom Boy wanted was beyond … Continue reading →

Obama’s press conference: takes one to know one

The New Neo Posted on July 15, 2015 by neoJuly 16, 2015

You can watch it for me. I’m not into that much self-punishment. William Jacobson reports on it at Legal Insurrection. Obama is riding high, demonstrating most of his now-familiar techniques: impugning the motives of the opposition, saying they spread misinformation … Continue reading →

The political aftermath of the Iran deal

The New Neo Posted on July 14, 2015 by neoJuly 14, 2015

Anyone who thought Hillary Clinton might part company with Obama was betting on the wrong horse: she’s given tentative approval to the deal, leaving herself a tiny bit of wiggle room. Obama and the MSM will spin the Iran deal … Continue reading →

Thoughts on the rapidity of the same-sex marriage sea change

The New Neo Posted on June 27, 2015 by neoJune 27, 2015

One of the most distinctive things about yesterday’s same-sex marriage ruling was the rapidity with which such a huge change came about. It’s something Justice Scalia remarked upon in his scathing dissent: The five Justices who compose today’s majority are … Continue reading →
