Will Leahy ride to workers’ defense?
- The Heritage Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union are not accustomed to being allies.

Quin Hillyer: Turning whistle-blowers into mercenaries
- Perhaps no pending bill in Congress is a better example of what critics say is the “stealthy” nature of the trial lawyers’ agenda than H.R. 4854, the False Claims Correction Act of 2007.

Quin Hillyer: A vote for president is also a vote for judges
