Open Thread: 'We Don't Look to the Constitution

While it is unfortunate to have large numbers of people in positions of political power have no regard for the Constitution in their policymaking duties, it is at least refreshing to see one of them, in this case, Rep.

Occupy Wall Street Infiltrates NYTimes Stories on Play Revival and Tit

Times Watch has shown how deeply the Occupy Wall Street movement has embedded itself into the liberal psyche of New York Times reporters, who can’t help clogging their stories with flattering references to the lefty sit-in.
