Why Conservatives Should Support Mitt Romney

About.com - US Conservatives - Sun, 2026-05-10 17:57

Without question, most of Romney's problems attracting the conservative base during the 2012 Republican primary are a result of his past. There is little getting around that, as a Massachusetts Republican, Romney was all too willing to hold moderate-to-liberal positions on a number of issues that he has since "evolved" on.

While conservatives have every right to be skeptical of Mitt Romney being the conservative he now claims to be, it is also wise to go the "trust-but-verify" route and support Romney to the fullest extent possible. While many will argue the only reason to support Romney is because he is not Obama, there are actually a number of reasons why Romney is actually a very good choice for conservatives in 2012.

A note about Lexis's production

FourthAmendment.com - News - Sun, 2026-05-10 17:57

I get most cases from my stored Lexis search about 5:30 a.m., seven days a week. Some I get from Google alerts and list servs. I have no idea how Lexis gets its cases from the federal courts or any other court. Some are obvious because they're publicly posted, but sometimes Lexis has cases that aren't on court websites. Sure, they're on Pacer, but I can't afford to get them all, save them, and make a link, and with all those cases pending, does Lexis get alerts of all filings?

Today, a 2003 case came through for some reason, and it was about 28,200. 2011 cases were over 150,000. Somewhere in there I quit reporting on civil cases in the district court level because of the number.
