A group of 50 members from the Senate Democratic caucus signed on to a letter Thursday urging NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to follow the lead of the National Basketball Association, which banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the league for his racist comments about African-Americans attending basketball games.

Harvard Law School professor David Barron, whom President Obama nominated to a federal appeals court, cleared a Republican filibuster, setting up a final vote later this week.

  5. Progressives and Dems excel at redirection. They do it all the time when arguing. They do it in politics. They do it when they’ve been caught in a blatant lie. It is an immoral and two-faced dogma.

  6. Maybe the team should be renamed the VA Administrators. That way something might get done about the intolerable mess our veterans have to deal with.

  7. Rick- Amen

    Euripides- That it is, and I for one, am damn tired of it.
