Quick Fact(s) - Republican Badge of Honor and the Supreme Court Is At It Again

1.   Last year we saw a spate of redistricting in Republican run states.  As a result, many Republicans feel invulnerable to threats or entreaties to end the divisive atmosphere in Congress and work with the President.  Senior Republican House aides, working for congressmen who represent conservative districts, have been quoted as saying that "an attack by Mr. Obama is a badge of honor".

This makes these conservative members of Congress sound like overgrown playground bullies.  You know, the ones who would taunt you until you reciprocated and then run off with their pals, laughing and beating their chests.

2.   The Supreme Court has decided to hear a case brought by the Shaun McCutcheon of Alabama and the Republican National Committee asking that limits on private citizen contributions that are made directly to a political candidate or political committee be eliminated. 

Didn't the Court do enough damage with their Citizens United ruling?  Being rich shouldn't mean you have a louder voice in our political process.
