Bills that Have Caught My Eye
The subject index is now operational on the Legislative Information System. I hope many in the blogosphere take the time to investigate a few bills and report back. I know that campaigns are fertile grounds for juicy gossip and also have that element of drama lacking in bill review, but... Read more...

Primar(il)y Nonsense
I never claimed to be the sharpest blub on the block, so I may be missing something fundamental about presidential primaries. Perhaps a reader will take pity on me and provide an explanation.Why does it matter which Democrat wins the Oklahoma primary?If I recall correctly, Jessica Van Den Berg... Read more...

Benchwarming
ACC noted in a recent thread on judicial nominations that Judge Payne of the Eastern District of Virginia will take senior status in 2007. I have heard that statement bandied about before. If true, who are some of the potential contenders?Judge Payne (Bush I) came from McGuire Woods. Judge... Read more...

Pre-File Time!
Ah, it is that time of year when prefiled bills begin to appear on LIS. Thanks to Kenton at 750 Volts for raising the alarm.If I can find the time, I will try and spotlight some of the more interesting ones over the next couple of weeks (and don't forget, there's a new triViA up!).Let's start of...

triViA #45
Now that everyone knows that former Clerk of the Senate/Wilder Chief of Staff Jonah T. "Jay" Shropshire ("The Silver Fox of Martinsville") used to be a Tally Clerk in the U.S. House of Representatives, on to what I consider to be a much tougher question:Which current state official served with him?

Latter Day Saints
Has anyone else noticed the logically flawed "defense" of Mitt Romney's religion from some of the right-leaning blogs?First off, let me say that, while I believe that a person's moral compass and conviction are fair game for electoral inspection, an individual's demonination makes little...

A Little Soon for Political Obituaries . . .
I have noticed bloggers on both sides of the political spectrum pooh-poohing the idea of another Gilmore or Allen candidacy. This has occurred most noticably at NLS, but also, to the extent that it is read, at Raising Kaine. Democrats ignore these two Republicans at their peril.It is true that... Read more...

Fate of the Fourth Circuit
As the Richmond Times-Dispatch recently noted (with more disgust that I) that President Bush may have missed a few opportunities with respect to his appointments to the bench now that the Senate has changed hands. The Democrats no longer have to use the threat of the filibuster to protect against... Read more...

Richmond Rumble . . . ?
Showdown in the Ninth.Not the Fightin' Ninth down in Southwest, mind you (that wasn't much of a fight this time around). No, I'm talking about the Ninth Senate District.Many Democratic activists in the blogosphere have turned their attention on Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert, III of Richmond. As we all... Read more...

triViA #44
Back after a long hiatus! (I wish I could say "due to popular demand . . .")It is a different blogosphere since I posted my last question. The greatest loss, of course, is Jaded JD. I ought to have done a fitting obituary, but I keep hoping he will reappear. Will Vehrs is gone, and now Chad... Read more...

Committee Assignments?
Glad all that nonsense is over. I don't care much for the blogosphere during the height of the campaign season - it turns into blind partisan nonsense. Congratulations Senator-elect Webb. I was proud to suggest your candidacy on November 30, 2005. Now, on to the prognostications.To which... Read more...
