Former Vice President Cheney (click here) (R) spoke to a large group of House conservatives at the Capitol on Wednesday, denouncing President Obama’s foreign policy and urging them to resist a rising tide of isolationism.
Cheney attended the weekly meeting of the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservatives on which he served as a member of the House in the 1980s.

Senate for 60 working days, including seven Saturdays. A day earlier,
Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey, the bill's manager, concluded he had
the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate....
Sen. Robert Byrd (click here) had long since repented, of course. The West Virginian, who died Monday at 92, deeply regretted his segregationist past, which included a year as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and at least several more years as a Klan sympathizer. He eventually became a passionate advocate for civil rights, and he was one of the most vocal supporters of legislation making the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. a national holiday....
