Good bye and Hello, for now...

Goodbye.

Hello.

For now.


A Rasmussen poll published today shows that a majority of 'likely voters' favored Tea Party-identified candidates over candidates defined as progressive.

Tomorrow Speaker Boehner will open the first session of the 112th Congress by reading the Constitution. Cato's Roger Pilon, in the Wall Street Journal, discusses why that largely symbolic gesture is important and more importantly, how it will hopefully effect the efforts of this Congress. Well worth reading the whole article, including this:

The 112th Congress will have its hands full simply monitoring what the more than 300 federal agencies are up to. But if the new members want to get to the root of the problem—if they want to start restoring limited constitutional government—they'll have to do far more...

First, they'll have to keep the debate focused on the Constitution, not simply on policy or practicality.
