For the latest Politico Arena, I wrote:
Republicans were for the individual mandate before they were against it. And they were against partisan judicial activism before they were for it.
The president is right in pointing out what polls say 75% of Americans already know – that the Supreme Court will decide the health care case based on politics, not the Constitution. And the president is right to challenge intransigent conservative gridlock in Washington – from Congress to the high court – which is plainly putting partisan politics ahead of progress and the needs of the American people.

Wall Street profits and CEO bonuses are at record highs this year. But unemployment continues to plague middle class Americans. Oooooh, I know — let’s give the rich people more tax breaks! ’Cuz that already worked well so far…
For the record, conservatives in Congress oppose spending cuts for the space shuttle program and favor cuts to heating oil assistance and food stamps for struggling families. Launch or no launch, that’s quite a spectacle.
Time magazine's Richard Stengel has written a great piece asking whether the Constitution still matters in America (spoiler alert: YES!). I appeared on America's Live with Megyn Kelly (with fill-in host Shannon Bream) to defend the Constitution as a living, evolving document. Take a look and tell me your thoughts on the issue.
Here’s a clip of me on the Fox News Strategy Room voicing my frustration at the highly un-American controversy surrounding the Cordoba House Islamic Cultural Center planned in lower Manhattan.
