The Heritage Foundation rightly notes today that protecting America should be our number one priority. It should make all of us uncomfortable to know that Congressman Ron Paul joined Congressman Barney Frank and Sen. Ron Wyden in calling on the president's deficit commission to consider reductions to defense spending.

Where does Senator-elect Rand Paul stand on Earmarks? No one seems to know. One thing should be certain to all newly elected officials: the citizens of America are watching every thing you do in Washington, DC.

Thomas Sowell writes about the Gridlock Bogeyman and Stopping Judicial Imperialism.
As citizens of this great Nation, we must be concerned about judicial imperialism and what one U.S. District Court Judge did yesterday. First we must remind Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange that a Republic is: a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law; and that she does not have the right to overturn the wishes of the citizens. Voters in Oklahoma, on Tuesday, voted to amend their Constitution, prohibiting judges from using Muslim Sharia law or international law in court cases. Judge Miles-LaGrange,(a Clinton appointee) with no basis in law, issued an injunction on November 8, 2010, prohibiting implementation of the amendment! An unelected Judge, issues an injunction on an amendment passed by 70% of the voters in Oklahoma. If she supports Sharia Law, then I suggest she move to a country that practices Sharia Law....do you think she would, considering how women are treated under Sharia Law?

The ACLU gets one right.

The NY Post is a fan of Congressman Peter King.
