Obama: I Don’t Like the Law, So I Don’t Have to Defend It
Is that really how our system works? I guess it does for the Democrats. Jerry Brown wouldn’t defend traditional definition of marriage amendment when he was CA AG.

SOTU
Back to the “We aren’t red states, we aren’t blue states; we’re the United States” style rhetoric. Lofty, but a lot empty calories. Main theme: we can’t do it without more government.  Almost nothing on foreign policy. By the way, didn’t see any “In God We Trust” shots, per usual. Be sure to send your highlights to Sean, so that he has them in the morning when he gets in.

Paul Ryan Answers
