Science is settled on climate change
As recently reported, January was the ninth straight month of record-breaking heat. This year is starting out to possibly being the third year in a row that we have set a record for hottest years ever recorded. The science is settled and the debate is shifting from whether climate change is occurring to how we should address it. That shift is happening even in the Congress. Some conservative Republican legislators are speaking out and calling for action to begin the process of creating politically viable legislation that would address global warming. Many voters, liberal and conservative, Democrat, Republican and Independent, are concerned about the world we are leaving our children and grandchildren. This could be the right time for them to contact their elected officials and let them know they believe addressing climate change is important.

Obama unclear on the Constitution
Recently, President Barack Obama was quoted as saying, “The Constitution is pretty clear about what is supposed to happen now.” In the mind of Obama, that means to nominate a liberal-minded legal stooge with a relative moral compass.
What is also pretty clear is certain parts of the Constitution are not visible to President Obama. When it comes to protecting citizens against unreasonable searches, seizures, and intrusive government surveillance, the Fourth Amendment becomes hidden within a dense fog of misinterpretation.
Is it because the Constitution has been selectively unclear to a president who has not taken seriously his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States?
