Staff, Moyers & Company: If there's only a relatively small group of lawmakers that thinks defunding the health care law is a dandy idea, why has every budget resolution with such a provision won more than 200 Republican votes in the House of Representatives during the showdown? Why is this supposedly silent majority of Republicans so docile? Why doesn't it push back?

The Anarchy of the Tea Party

Paul R. Pillar, Consortium News: The tactics being used in the House of Representatives represent a radical offshoot of a much more broadly evident American frame of mind that views what government does as inherently inferior to what is done outside government. Most of the other manifestations of that frame of mind are not at all anarchist.

Lawyer says state s killing of client was botched

Buffalo News

01/16/14

A condemned man appeared to gasp several times and took an unusually long time to die, more than 20 minutes, in an execution carried out Thursday with a combination of drugs never before tried in the U.S. Dennis McGuire s attorney Allen Bohnert called the convicted killer s death 'a failed, agonizing experiment' and added: 'The people of the state of Ohio should be appalled at what was done here today in their names.' McGuire s lawyers had attempted last week to block his execution, arguing that the untried method could lead to a medical phenomenon known as 'air hunger' and cause him to suffer 'agony and terror' while struggling to catch his breath.

It gets worse for the GOP

The American Conservative

Initially, the American people s verdict on the government shutdown appeared to be 'a pox on both their houses.' Republicans received plurality blame, but Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and both major parties took something of a hit in the early polls. As the shutdown has continued, public opinion is beginning to look as one-sided as it did in 1995-96, if it isn?t worse. The Republican Party s favorability rating is at a record low, falling 10 points since September to just 28 percent. That s the lowest for either major party since Gallup started asking the question in 1992.
