Today, news reports indicated that Attorney General Eric Holder will announce sweeping recognition to “marriages” of same-sex couples, even in natural marriage states. The news that the Justice Department will extend sweeping recognition to ‘marriages’ of same-sex couples, even in states that do not recognize such unions, is yet another illustration of the lawlessness of this administration.

It was revealed this week at a House committee hearing, at which new IRS commissioner John Koskinen testified, that an email was found from an IRS official indicating intent to scrutinize 501c4 organizations.

But — don’t be surprised if in a few weeks we have another Neville Chamberlain moment with Kerry waving a piece of paper over his head shouting: “Peace in or time!” We never seem to learn, do we?
