Fox's Kevin Corke: Keystone Refusal Took Longer Than Benghazi Probe

Nets Fawn Over the 'Happy Couple,' the Possible Clinton/Warren Ticket
Hillary Clinton trotted around Ohio Monday with Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, adding fuel to the speculation that Warren is going to be her VP pick.

Nets Revel in 'Despair from Anti-Abortion Forces' After SCOTUS Ruling
The US Supreme Court dealt a major blow to pro-life supporters Monday, by striking down a Texas law that required abortion clinics to have admitting privileges to a local hospital.

Blogger: GOP Conventions Feature the ‘Worst In Human Behavior’
When citing instances of “the worst in human behavior,” reasonable choices include the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and whatever ISIS did today. In a Sunday post, Washington Monthly blogger D. R. Tucker offered an absurdly unreasonable choice: the last ten Republican national conventions.

WashPost: ‘Brexit Is a Reminder’ Voters Shouldn’t Make Big Decisions
Writing on The Washington Post’s Wonkblog early Monday morning, writer Emily Badger bemoaned the June 23 vote by the United Kingdom (U.K.) to leave the European Union (E.U.) as an example of a bad referendum because it gave voters power to decide something that involved “thorny debates we elect government officials to hash out.”
