Under federal law, a statutory contempt citation by the House or Senate must be submitted to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, “whose duty it shall be to bring the matter before the grand jury for its action.” Administration officials argued yesterday, however, that Congress has no power to force a U.S. attorney to pursue contempt charges in cases, such as the prosecutor...

In addition, the propose a way to permanently end gerrymandering - using a statistical model to draw district lines and forever eliminate the manipulative nonsense that currently takes place.
Patent reform bill moves forward. →

That or there’s one rabid grassroots groupie out there with a tape gun and a copier, destroying the environment in his futile attempt to get...

Hyundai's are the worst cars ever.
