Privacy will be the civil rights issue of the next generation. It is also an issue that is difficult to politicize as a partisan issue … biggest division is in the GOP between libertarians and neo-conservatives […]

Problem is that the insurance companies are in control of pretty much everything right now …

It’s been 4 years??? Holy cow. Is this really the case though? The shooter is on payroll and the victims have received no compensation?

I imagine that this is not the case for all legislators, as many of them are in safer districts?

Its going to happen eventually. Just a matter of time. Some of the early concerns are certainly warranted and the pressure will make for a better system once it does happen.

Exactly. Too much rushing to report things we don’t know anything about. The worst are the crime stories that our media comes out and declares the guilt of people charged with crimes … isn’t that what the […]

Ironically, I think it will happen a lot faster once the GOP finds it in their political interest to change their tune.

That’s a lot of money down on education. Now if costs would go down.

Difficult to separate business and politics…

Problem is, you can’t raise taxes forever to pay for education. We already had Prop 30 in CA, now homeowners will get hit up with increased property taxes? I just don’t know, when do the straws break the camels back?

Unfortunately, the energy “market” in California is highly misunderstood … we have a very aggressively progressive tiered structure … there is a tight balanced between encouraging consumption and alternative […]

Interesting … will R’s and D’s actually work on this one together?

There is a link in the first paragraph of the article.

My prediction is that if Kokesh does a good job publicizing, FreedomWorks will do their best to take it over/take credit.

I always struggle to understand the time wasted trying to “nullify” state laws …. equally, the movements to “overturn” Supreme Court Case X … only courts can “overturn” decisions.

Unfortunately, this is the story with too many important stories. Its often about scoring points rather than getting to real answers.

It is simply not true that the leadership of either party supports top-two. In fact, a lawsuit that you are very familiar with, is now represented by a leader of the Democratic Party’s law firm.

What top-two […]

“Temporary coalitions between different interests will form to pass certain issues, but they will be continually forming and dissipating, making it almost impossible for a single faction to seize power long enough […]

Well, if you measure in choices … technically you have infinite choice on a write-in ballot.

Its about time.

Constitutional amendment will never happen. More likely the ruling will get overturned before that.

Totally agree with the sentiments. We also have a problem that we believe there is a philosophical truth/answer to policy questions that 99 out of 100 times, require a much broader discussion of practicality than […]

That’s a good start. I am surprised H.R 5912, but that is only the tip of the iceberg on how much support they received from our taxpayer expenditures.

I can think of a few reasons against it. In general, it puts enormous power over our privacy into the hands of private organizations; some may use properly, others are likely to abuse, whatever the “law” is.

It is suprising how few people know, or ignore, that the mandate originated from the Republicans…as did most of the “Obamacare” that was eventually passed … shows how political posturing can but you on the […]

Does it matter if California enacts marijuana regulation if the Federal government will trump it anyways?

Lot’s of things are going to have to happen to deal with the increase in crime and criminals on the street due to realignment…

It’s their population….so much room to grow too.

This people are afraid to share this on Facebook. lol. But seriously, Zuckerburgs “immigration reform” is about increasing HB-1 visas, not solving our immigration problem. Not that we shouldn’t increase them … […]

I am not a fan of Frank Luntz. I bet he’s a good guy deep down. But his work is pure manipulation and should not be called “polling.” Polling is when you find out what people think … not steer them into thinking […]

I will get a lot of blowback for this, but I think the app kinda silly.

The court ruling just pushed more serious prisoners into the county court system. At the core though, I think our entire system needs more focus on rehabilitation, rather than punishment … the only way to reduce recidivism.

I think that private organizations should be treated like private organizations. If they want public funding, the there’s an argument. If not, they should be able to have their own rules, whether we like them or not.
