He has been a key figure in the fight against softer sentencing for federal drug felons and the early release of such felons.

Slowly but surely, Congress will join us in the 21st century
With Congress' approval ratings in the single digits, and in the midst of an ugly political season, our legislature might not appear as a hopeful place to start putting U.S. democracy back on track.

Thwarted in attempted show of disrespect for U.S., female soccer star lashes out
(Paul Mirengoff) I don't follow women's soccer closely. However, I've seen enough of the U.S. team to know that if there's an act to get into, Megan Rapinoe, the flamboyant star midfielder, is probably going to get into it.

Bill Lynch, the owner of the Washington Spirit against whom Repinoe's
