JENNY BETH MARTIN: No confirmation hearings until after the election

President Obama's insistence that Senate Republicans accede to his demands and confirm Judge Merrick Garland to be a new Justice of the Supreme Court directly contradict a simple fact of American political life - that more recent elections can (and often do) cancel the policy results of earlier elections.

JENNY BETH MARTIN: Ted Cruz and ‘dirty tricks’

Politics makes strange bedfellows, so it should come as no surprise that three GOP presidential candidates, the liberal media, and the Republican Establishment elites have all set aside their differences to unite around a single narrative in the hopes of discrediting Ted Cruz, their most formidable opponent.

President Barack Obama answers questions during a CNN televised town hall meeting at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Thursday, Jan. 7, 2016. Obama's proposals to tighten gun controls rules may not accomplish his goal of keeping guns out of the hands of would-be criminals and those who aren't legally allowed to buy a weapon. In short, that's because the conditions he is changing by executive action are murkier than he made them out to be. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

JENNY BETH MARTIN: The dangers of Obama’s one-man show

Last week, President Obama announced yet another brazen executive order - this one intended to take away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. The executive action will make it more difficult for individuals to purchase guns, but, as many critics of the new regulations have noted, the new requirements are unlikely to prevent terrorist or other violent acts.

JENNY BETH MARTIN: An agenda for House Republicans

As House Republicans prepare to gather in Baltimore next week for their annual policy/legislative strategy retreat, Speaker Paul Ryan has made clear he wants to use the second session of the 114th Congress to lay out an agenda for what he calls a "confident America," a campaign vision that unifies the Conservative Movement, the Republican Party, and, in fact, all of America.

JENNY BETH MARTIN: Why John Koskinen, the IRS commissioner, must be impeached

Failing to comply with a subpoena for evidence in a major investigation; lying under oath in testimony before Congress; providing misleading and inaccurate information to Congress; hampering an ongoing investigation into the targeting of innocent American citizens. These are all serious offenses, violations of the public trust.

JENNY BETH MARTIN: It’s up to Congress to block Syrian refugee funding

Otto von Bismarck once observed: "Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others." President Obama's seeming determination to refuse to learn from the lessons of Europe's experience with Syrian refugees puts him clearly in the former category, not the latter.
