George F. Will: Illegitimate NLRB ignores the rule of law - The Washington Post
"The issue he raised but could not resolve — that is up to the Supreme Court — illuminates the Obama administration’s George Wallace-like lawlessness. It also demonstrates the judiciary’s duty to restrain presidents who forget the oath they swear to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”
The Real Voter Suppression of 2012 | National Review Online

A Battering Ram Becomes a Stonewall - WSJ.com- Peggy Noonan
"They're surrounded by legal and employment protections, they know how to parse a careful response, they know how to blur the essential point of a question in a blizzard of unconnected factoids. They came across as people arrogant enough to target Americans for abuse and harassment and think they'd get away with it."

Poll: Michele Bachmann in for tight fight - Alex Isenstadt - POLITICO.com
"With Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann facing a widening campaign finance probe, her Democratic challenger is out with a new poll showing him in a close race with the conservative firebrand."
I hope there was a lesson learned from Allen West's defeat in Florida. Bachmann is a conservative favorite in a largely blue state, not even a purple one like Florida. The Democrats have gone after her hammer and tongs every two years and it's beginning to have an effect.
Unlike West, she has built a strong base in her district and not suffered terribly from redistricting. West got pulled out of his district into national issues before he had solidified his organization in his home district. That district was then changed as a result of the 2010 census and huge amounts of money were poured into defeating him while he was off balance.
Bachmann's problems are going to be blasted across her district by unfriendly news organizations and big-money Democrat outside groups. Getting her would allow them to say that the Tea Party movement was functionally moribund, so they want her gone badly. She needs to stay home, work her district and worry about 2014… Ed
