It's on to immigration 'reform', apparently on the theory that the voters can only kick you out once, so every hated vote after the first is free. On the bright side, there's enough anger floating around, we might finally get a constitutional convention.

You yourself have accorded "tireless attention to the real policy issues" and we're all better off as a result. Your students are blessed to have you as a teacher. Frank,
