Chris Sununu Has His Harriet Miers Moment
A career litigating construction defects, insurance coverage, etc., even if one is the best there is at it, hardly qualifies one to sit on a court that has the final word on whether a law, regulation or other governmental action is constitutional or not.

As one of the original copblockers (badge #5), I’ve been in the streets a lot over the years. I’ve helped save people from harassment by the police on countless occasions, informed thousands of young people about their rights, and have been arrested several times.
There’s no doubt that a couple of dedicated copblockers can make an impact out there. I’ve seen that happen. However, have you ever hit the streets with a dozen people on your side? More…
85% drop in food stamp recipients in counties where work requirement restarted
From our file named “Duh.” The Alabama Department of Human Resources says 13 counties that reinitiated a work requirement for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the food stamp program, saw an 85% drop in recipients.
