Nevada joins other states to sue the Trump administration

Thank goodness Nevada now has a constitutional attorney general, Aaron Ford. Mr. Ford thinks President Donald Trump is overstepping his constitutional authority. He has joined with that great beacon of freedom, California, in a lawsuit against President Trump and funding for the border wall.

I’m sure Mr. Ford stood up against President Barack Obama when he and his administration did that famous end run around the Second Amendment known as Fast and Furious. I’m sure he stood up against DACA, deemed likely unconstitutional by at least one federal court. Here’s another one: I’m sure he stood against Obamacare after the administration claimed it wasn’t a tax but then argued before the Supreme Court that it was a tax. I’m sure Mr. Ford also stood against the Iran deal or the Obama adminstration using the IRS as a political weapon.

Man, oh man, is it great to have constitutional Democrats in charge. I can hardly wait for the Nevada attorney general’s next constitutional awakening.

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
