Op/Ed

A president needs good judgment more than a good degree.

Obamacare created 23 “public options” that were supposed to demonstrate just how efficient and affordable government-run health insurance could be. Not full-blown socialized medicine, but a good start. Now, all but one of the 23 state co-ops are underwater.

That language is important because only 13 states set up their own exchanges. The other 37 either didn’t try or failed and so relied on the federal government to do it.

The House and Senate have now passed bipartisan legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline. Seems like the only one who doesn’t support it is President Obama. And yet opposition to the pipeline is inexplicable if you know the facts behind the issue.

We are going to have to forget that old maxim that “crime doesn’t pay,” because in Obama’s redistribution economy crime (i.e., entering the country illegally) pays handsomely.

The White House has sent conservatives what it apparently thinks is a very clever message: You say the economy boomed under President Ronald Reagan’s tax reforms. Well, Reagan’s top capital gains tax rate was 28 percent, so let’s go back to that.

Arizona has become the first state in the country to require high school students to pass the basic civics test given to immigrants applying to become U.S. citizens. Students will have to correctly answer 60 of the test’s 100 questions. Can they do it? Can you?

Abbott is correct; his observation clarifies an area of confusion among many regarding the supposed sanctity of local control.

While the economy may have been voters' primary concern, energy issues played a key role, especially in the states that gave Republicans control of the Senate.

Civil asset forfeiture has become one of law enforcement’s most egregious and unconstitutional practices.
