No president can be above the law. But do we want a system that opens up a former president to politically motivated prosecutions involving policy disputes?

Mr. Biden’s budget, unveiled in March, spends at a record pace. The debt would continue to soar and trillion-dollar deficits would become the new norm.
Nothing in the Constitution gives the homeless have a right to occupy public property at their leisure. The Supreme Court should rein in the 9th Circuit.
The cease-fire would allow the terror group to re-arm and re-configure itself to continue its quest of Israel’s destruction another day. The “prisoner” exchange is heavily lopsided in favor of the terrorists.
Rewarding the Clark County School District financially for its continued failures won’t improve education. It will only make it more expensive.
A school district’s graduation rate is its most obvious indicator of excellence (or lack thereof). Because the Clark County School District’s graduation rate has been so bad for so long, the state is anchored at the bottom of most national rankings of education systems.
Just four years ago, the idea that rugby could anchor an entire weekend on the Las Vegas tourism calendar seemed a tad optimistic. In 2010, the first USA Sevens tournament attracted about 24,000 fans to Sam Boyd Stadium over two days.
It’s National School Choice Week, and while magnet and charter schools and vouchers get a lot of attention from proponents of expanded educational opportunities, another popular option gets fewer headlines: home schooling. The ability to remove a child from public schooling altogether is the ultimate choice for parents — and it’s under attack, despite its strong record of success.
They flirted. They formed contingency plans for the breakup. And at one point, they pretty much had broken up. But once they got down to talking, once they had a good look at the grass on the other side of the fence, they realized anew they were perfect for each other.
A federal court filing from last month is a perfect symbol of the secrecy surrounding the slow-moving fraud investigation into the takeover of local homeowners association boards.
America’s colleges and universities are supposed to be marketplaces of ideas, places where students sharpen their critical thinking skills through robust debate. However, far from encouraging free expression, campuses across the country and right here in Nevada increasingly embrace heavy-handed, politically correct policies that discourage and even prohibit protected speech.
Much of what ails our K-12 education system can be solved by choice. If every parent had options beyond an underperforming neighborhood school, or had the ability to move children from an average school to a great one, improved outcomes would follow.
To get rid of inactive, unneeded government boards, we needed — you guessed it — yet another board.
One heckuva story is sitting inside the piles of data held by the Nevada Public Employees Retirement System. We know this because the agency that oversees the state’s pension fund is determined to hide that data from the public — so much so that it has defied a Nevada Supreme Court order to release information on the taxpayer funded benefits provided to government retirees.
A couple of weeks ago, North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee said his financially strapped municipality wouldn’t surrender to state control, despite having just $9 million in reserves and a total annual budget of $481.5 million. “We don’t have to find dollars,” the new mayor told the Review-Journal’s Laura Myers and James DeHaven. “We just have to find a lot of dimes.”
