Compromise in U.S. Senate Ed Quillen has a short history of compromises in U.S. politics in his column in today's Denver Post [May 29, 2005, "Compromise? How un-American"]. He writes, "All those compromises may have delayed the American Civil War, but in the end, they could not prevent it. Our system works pretty well when we're compromising about who gets what in a pork-barrel spending bill, but it runs into trouble handling those uncompromising moral positions."

Justice Center Vote Cooked? Here's an article from the Denver Post about the Denver Election Commission and the justice center vote [May 29, 2005, "Election panel reforms sought"]. From the article, "New questions about the panel arose this month with a federal lawsuit filed by a longtime city election staffer. Fred Sandoval alleges that election commissioner Wayne Vaden called for his firing after Sandoval said the city intentionally limited turnout by changing balloting methods for the May 3 election that approved a $378 million justice center."
