Every time there’s an open spot on the Supreme Court, a political free-for-all erupts to fill it. Those who believe they have a claim on your life, liberty, and property take the nomination of a Supreme Court justice very seriously, indeed.

Madison the Supreme Court decided to steal for itsel... Full story
PORTALES - Seventeen years later, we still remember. That was the message during the annual Sept. 11 ceremony held outside James Polk Stone Community Bank on Tuesday morning as dozens came out to honor the thousands who lost their lives and millions more who were affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Portales scored late in the first half, after several missed opportunities, and from there, the rout was on. "The past few days, their passing was better, their touches, their teamwork.
