  • Hugh Hewitt: House should expose Washington's growing culture of intimidation

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, May 19, 2013

    Far better to have an imperfect tax code fairly applied than a perfect tax code unfairly applied. It is far more important that the entire enforcement and regulatory philosophy of the executive branch be radically remade than any particular law be amended. The proponents of tax reform are...

  • Hugh Hewitt: Hillary never called back

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, May 12, 2013

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her senior staff conducted a conference call with Gregory Hicks, deputy chief of the U.S. mission in Libya, in the early morning hours of Sept. 12, 2012. Hicks was overseeing a chaotic scene in Tripoli, where his staff was busy destroying classified...

  • Hugh Hewitt: House GOP leadership is a ballooning problem

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, May 5, 2013

    Republican ennui is engulfing the grass roots as the party's House majority sits, and sits, and sits, doing nothing except raising money and, yes, taking action to secure the country's helium reserve. The Balloon Council applauded the latter action. Yes, the council exists, and it says it...

  • Hugh Hewitt: How to investigate Boston bombings and Benghazi

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, Apr 28, 2013

    "When everybody says you are drunk, you had better sit down," is my favorite alleged old Irish proverb, which accurate or not in its origins, directs us to the wisdom of (informed) crowds. Thus when an idea appeals to me, I'll test it against at least a few of the first-team minds in the...

  • Hugh Hewitt: The Boston Marathon terrorists and immigration reform

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, Apr 21, 2013

    Victims of the Boston bombings and their family members may end up participating in the immigration reform debate in the same way that parents of the children cruelly murdered in Newtown, Conn., contribute to the ongoing debate about gun violence: As impossible-to-ignore witnesses to the urgency...

  • Hugh Hewitt: House GOP is dazed, lost and leaderless

    Hugh Hewitt

    Updated: Sun, Apr 14, 2013

    Down two touchdowns after the first quarter, the House Republicans think they are winning. That's a big problem, and not only because they are losing the great positioning battle in the run-up to President Obama's last great campaign -- the 2014 congressional elections -- but also because the...

  • Hugh Hewitt: Everything is unexpected in an unserious Washington

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, Apr 7, 2013

    Readers of the New York Times on the morning of Sept. 10, 2001, found a front page lead on how congressional leaders were in talks about economic stimulus and below-the-fold stories on school dress codes and the morning television ratings races. The summer of 1950 was just another post-war...

  • Hugh Hewitt: The crux of the marriage cases

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, Mar 31, 2013

    Last week's arguments over marriage were the latest chapter in a very long but very important book about how freedom endures through the separation of powers. The first day's argument turns on whether the people of the state of California may decide what "marriage" is. They did, and they may...

  • Hugh Hewitt: Easy repeal for medical device tax

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, Mar 24, 2013

    Harvard won an NCAA tourney game and the United States Senate voted 79-20 to repeal a tax -- both on the same day last week. "Your old men shall dream dreams," proclaimed the prophet Joel, "and your young men shall see visions." Strange things are afoot. There is nothing the House GOP can do...

  • Hugh Hewitt: Francis is third of three champions of freedom

    Hugh Hewitt

    Published: Sun, Mar 17, 2013

    Karol Wojtyla lived under both the Nazis and the communists, and helped bring about the shattering of the communist empire. Joseph Ratzinger grew up under the Nazis as well, and spent most of his life locked with his friend John Paul II in the worldwide battle with the Soviets and their branch...
