Could there be anything more despicable than someone who calls himself a "conservative" trying to use landmarks law as a sham-ful and shameful means to deprive someone of their right of religious free exercise?

Kyl let's the mask slip off
Money quote:
“Kyl was arguing against a requirement that any new spending or tax cut be matched with a tax hike or spending cut. Kyl framed the issue as if it required a tax hike. Of course it does not. You could just as easily pay for a tax cut by cutting spending. Republicans, though, don't want to have to cut spending in order to cut taxes, because that makes the trade-off explicit, and most spending programs are more popular than tax cuts. On the other hand, they also don't want to say that they don't want to have to cut spending. If Kyl came out and said that it's unfair to force Congress to come up with spending cuts to match every new tax cut they propose, he'd have looked even more ridiculous than he did. So he pretended that the alternative was to require tax hikes, and only tax hikes, to offset tax cuts." Jon Kyl Commits Near-Honesty | The New Republic www.tnr.com
The Schneid's bad hair day continues; first, he becomes perhaps the only man in the world who'd be better off if David Paterson were his dirver (though Paterson may be another); then Barrett does a hit and run on him.
Money quote:
"Of course, Schneiderman has been endorsed by many of his state Senate colleagues, including Democratic leader John Sampson, who is reportedly under investigation by the state inspector general over his role in the award of the aqueduct gaming contract, a probe that could wind up on the AG's desk. Indeed, Cuomo's office has already sued Senator Pedro Espada, who was elevated to majority leader with Schneiderman's acquiescence, and is conducting a current criminal investigation that may also be inherited by the next AG. These potential conflicts are far more real than Schneiderman's musings about Rice, yet Schneiderman's spokesman dismissed them, citing Schneiderman's leading role in the expulsion of Senator Hiram Monserrate, and ousters of Senate GOP leader Joe Bruno and onetime Senate Democratic leader Marty Connor, as proof that he's "stood up to the leaders of both parties." The parallels are blurred, since Monserrate was hardly a leader and barely a Democrat, and Schneiderman has been silent on the scandals that have engulfed Senate Democratic leaders since Connor, like Sampson and Malcolm Smith. Indeed, Schneiderman's moves against Bruno and Connor were pure power politics, not examples of ethical independence." Eric Schneiderman and the Bogus Issue of AG 'Independence' blogs.villagevoice.com
