NO BORDERS: "Those of us in the "enforcement first" camp are often asked when, if ever, we'd admit the borders are secure enough to safely allow for an amnesty. A good question—and a difficult question, because at least one of the preconditions will be hard to pinpoint scientifically. It will be the point at which even activists like Mr. Ramos at least acknowledge that there is a border."

I think I’ll stick with the Tea Party, thank you.

SUPPORT FOR THE REPEAL AMENDMENT. Instapundit comments: “Judicial reinterpretation is okay, because in recent decades it has accorded with the policy preferences of the Gentry Class.”

"THOSE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY TELLING US that our economic problems are caused by not enough "regulation" never distinguish between regulation which simply enforces known rules, as contrasted with regulation that gives arbitrary powers to the government to force others to knuckle under to demands that have nothing to do with the ostensible purposes of the regulation."

EUGENE ROBINSON: “Extend the tax cuts for the richest Americans - in fact, make them permanent. Doing so would increase the deficit by $700 billion over the next decade, but this doesn't matter.”

Yeah, why give them the $700 billion? They’ll just waste it jet-setting it around the globe. Never mind that someone has to build those corporate jets - and fuel them, and fly them, and maintain them, and ....

SARAH PALIN’S MEANEST CRITICS: The conservative elite. Colbert I. King would have been on to something if he’d just replaced the single word “conservative” with the phrase “self-appointed establishment.” The rest of his opinion piece is true of both political establishments, and is the reason many of them soon will be gone.
