Here's a surprise -- or maybe not so much: MoveOn, one of the nation’s largest and most influential grassroots groups -- the Democratic action committee most responsible for mobilizing Barack Obama's hugely successful Internet fundraising campaign through its MoveOn.org website in 2008 -- will back Bernie Sanders in 2016, not Hillary Clinton.  
In recent years, a small but growing number of people have advocated a convention of states to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The reaction to the proposal has been hostile, out of all proportion to either the originality or the danger of such a convention.
Brute force is one way things get done in politics. If a party has an overwhelming majority in the legislative and executive branches, it can simply ram everything through.

Pastor Jamal Bryant was invited to be the keynote speaker Jan. 18 at the annual MLK awards breakfast in St. Petersburg by the National Council of Negro Women.
The indictment of Bill Cosby for sexual assault could play an important role in the 2016 campaign. On Comedy Central, leftist "fake news" anchor Larry Wilmore said even if Cosby isn't convicted, a trial is a good thing.
Alan Grayson, Barack Obama and Patrick Murphy
