Op/Ed

For decades Congress has taken the “carrot approach” to imposing mandates on them by making certain federal funds contingent on states agreeing to Congress’s demands.

President Obama expressed his “full confidence” Friday in CIA Director John Brennan, which follows yet again the president’s pattern of defending his “confidence men” against charges and revelations of incompetence, corruption and intentional misstatements.

The growing efforts by state and local governments to stop hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” to extract natural gas could end up in the Supreme Court—because they may unconstitutionally limit property owners’ ability to profit from their mineral rights.

Tax flight is a symptom of a larger problem: Tax rates that are out-of-line with other equally adequate locations.

Obama will continue to spend significantly more than what he’s already squandered in the hope of avoiding a $150 billion economic hit that will likely never happen anyway.

A top Obama advisor is finally caught on tape telling the truth—and he immediately rushes to the press to deny it.

Two recent unrelated U.S. Supreme Court decisions provide a clue as to how the justices would rule if Halbig v. Burwell gets there—and the news is good.

By excluding intergovernmental loans from its standard debt statements, the CBO is ignoring more than a quarter of total federal debt, allowing lawmakers to hide behind a debt burden that is much worse than it seems.

A straightforward upholding of the Halbig decision would only wound Obamacare in some states; it wouldn’t kill it.

Obama has urged House Republicans to immediately pass his $3.7 billion special funding request. But before Republicans do anything, they should ask some serious questions.
