					<description><![CDATA[The Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts wrote a powerful case for Donald Trump&#8216;s impeachment, in the style of an open letter to the &#8220;Dear Republicans in Congress,&#8221; that I was reading to my wife as she prepared breakfast the other morning. At the part where Pitts asked, &#8220;Have you no loyalties deeper than party?&#8221; Ivy broke in. &#8220;The money,&#8221; she exclaimed. That nailed it. It is always about the money. It&#8217;s about the campaign money they expect to continue bagging&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I expect the title of this op-ed will generate enough hate mail to keep me busy for a month. How can anyone oppose democracy?  If the Founders hated democracy, who am I to disagree? The Founders recognized the inherent dangers of democratic government. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, called democracy &#8220;one of the greatest evils.&#8221; Alexander Hamilton, better known for being a Broadway phenomena that one of the most significant individuals in the establishment of the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With muskets polished, flags aloft and one very commanding tent in place, Philadelphia&#8217;s Museum of the American Revolution is at the ready. After nearly two decades of planning, the museum that tells the dramatic story of the founding of the United States opens April 19, the anniversary of the shots fired at the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 that ignited the war. The museum also reveals how a diverse population — including women, Native Americans, and enslaved and&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a paradox in America&#8217;s ongoing experiment with self-government that we depend on the weakest branch of government to defend us from the more powerful ones. The Founders gave a lot of thought and ink to this. Writing in the Federalist, Alexander Hamilton pointed out that the judiciary would always be &#8220;least dangerous&#8221; to the public&#8217;s freedoms because it would be &#8220;least in a capacity to annoy or injure them.&#8221; The courts have no police or troops of their own,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is a profound reason why the Founders gave life tenure to federal judges, subject only to impeachment for bad behavior. As Alexander Hamilton explained it in The Federalist No. 78: &#8220;In a monarchy, it is an excellent barrier to the despotism of the prince; in a Republic, it is a no less excellent barrier to the encroachments and oppressions of the representative body&#8230;&#8221; Judges subject to the whims of a president or the Congress to keep their jobs would&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Winning a Pulitzer Prize and a clutch of Tony Awards in a single one year would be enough for anyone. Not Lin-Manuel Miranda. Not in 2016. The &#8220;Hamilton&#8221; writer-composer picked up those honors and also earned a Golden Globe nomination, won the Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History, wrote music for a top movie, and inspired a best-selling book, a best-selling album of &#8220;Hamilton&#8221; covers and a popular PBS documentary. A new honor came Wednesday when&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Going into the 2016 presidential election, virtually all political pundits and pollsters projected an easy victory for Hillary Clinton. Several of the most respected pollsters gave Clinton an 85 percent chance of defeating Donald Trump. Highly respected presidential scholar Larry Sabato projected that Clinton would win 347 electoral votes to Trump&#8217;s 191. As we now know, Trump won 290 electoral votes to 232 for Clinton with Michigan&#8217;s 16 electoral votes still undecided. Although Trump won the electoral majority and the&#8230;]]></description>
