There will be no preliminary injunction for SpeechNow.org , the pro-free speech-in-politics group profiled by Jacob Sullum here . The group can't run ads attacking Sen. Mary L. Landrieu (D-La.) and Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), according to the ruling of a D.C. district court. Plaintiffs’ argument presents a false syllogism that relies on a “crabbed view of corruption, and particularly of the appearance...

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:05:09 GMT

The CQ coverage is here . Obviously, no one in Waxman's staff reads wampum, or has the smarts or the stamina to go after the issues, so they're just doing a round of, as Dan Burton correctly observes, pin the tail on the elephant. Dan Burton , R-Ind., accused the committee’s chairman, Henry A. Waxman , D‑Calif., of trying to cause collateral damage and harm perceptions of both President...

Conyers ‘Invites’ Former Bush Officials to Testify about Authorizing Torture (Pensito Review)

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 19:13:01 GMT

The bitter irony is, Clinton administration officials weren’t “invited” by Republicans in Congress like Rep. Dan Burton and Sen. Alphonse D’Amato to testify about Travelgate, Filegate, Monicagate or any of the other bogus scandals of the 1990s — they were subpoenaed. The issue here is torture — and it was authorized by the highest officials [...]

Hmm…so it would appear that the idea of a “runner’s high” may be a very real concept. This, of course, can mean only one thing: how long before Republicans try to criminalize running? You’ve got to suspect that someone, somewhere, some suspiciously troll-like pinhead (Tom Coburn, Dan Burton, and Steve King come immediately to mind) in Congress will determine that people are getting high without...
