The Moderate Voice has a bunch of links up relating to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearings today.
Opinion Journal: "It's fitting that Rep. Tom DeLay is returning to his seat on the Appropriations Committee now that he is gone for good as House majority leader. It was his years serving in that 'favor factory' that gradually turned him into a purveyor of pork who last fall claimed there was no more budget fat to cut. His departure gives Republicans a chance to return to first principles. If they don't, they may face a political drubbing."
Mt. Virtus, commenting on the article above: "Self-interested Congressional Republicans need to wake up to first principles and their own political future, and they need to heed the words of John Fund in today's Opinion Journal." Self-interested - sounds like it's from Galt's speech.
Political Wire: "If anyone questioned whether New York Gov. George Pataki (R) 'is exploring a White House bid in 2008, those doubts evaporated last week when he delivered a State of the State address littered with the hallmarks of a national platform,' Newsday reports."
Political Wire: "Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack (D) met Friday in Washington, D.C., with his national political advisors to 'talk about strategy for the year that could position him to formally explore a presidential campaign next year,' according to the Des Moines Register. Among the key challenges Vilsack will in 2006 is ensuring that a Democrat succeeds in the governor's mansion."
Soablox Colorado: "Alito hearings begin today, will Salazar come through?"
