It has been said, "there is nothing new under the sun..." Join Oma and Lewis in this week's podcast, where we focus on what is touted as new but is just some polished-up stuff with a different label called "new." We think it's time we realize - or better yet - our elected officials recognize they were not selected to participate in a popularity contest or chosen for a lifetime stint in politics. Our Representatives, stressing their fundamental role, should not give up their day jobs because, depending on their performance, they may need them in the future. Buckle up. It's going to get lively.

Did you know that political parties spent nearly 17 Billion on the recent elections? Did you know that the House Rules are 1300 pages? Ever heard of the term "Standing." Join Oma and Lewis in this week's podcast, where we don't discuss our thoughts on the recent elections. But we do touch on "standing" and who's really in charge of this country. We think it's time to read the owner's manual or start searching for it so we can brush up because the next few years will be interesting. Buckle-up.

What did Supreme Court Justice Holmes mean when he wrote, "Men must turn square corners when they deal with the Government." Rock Island, Ark. & LA RR Co. v. United States, 254 U.S. 141, 143 (1920)? Well, Texas Attorney General and ten other AGs explain in its recent Amicus Brief filed yesterday. Interesting read with some eye-opening points. Remember our ongoing discussion about the tapestry? Well, here are some more points to ponder. Keep the 40K foot view with all the moving pieces. Agree or disagree, jump in. It's a rock pile.
