I have been a Republican as long as I can remember. Joining the Grand Old Party seemed like a natural choice for someone like me who fled the Soviet Union as a boy and came to Los Angeles with his mother and grandmother in 1976. Refugees from communism, whether from Russia or Cuba, generally oppose socialism and embrace conservative political views.

A charter amendment to lower the voting age to 16 that will appear on the November ballot would put San Francisco at the forefront of expanding voting rights at a time when some other governments around the country have implemented increasingly restrictive voting laws. “Regardless of whether this measure is approved or not, (San Francisco) is starting a trend that will happen across the country, where cities like ours will consider whether young people can vote,” Supervisor John Avalos, who championed the measure, said at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. [...] they were swayed by the idea that lowering the voting age gets people involved in the electoral process earlier, which in turn could make them habitual voters — a step critical to improving the country’s low turnout rates. [...] some supervisors also pointed to the rise of Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, as evidence that adults are no more informed than a 16-year-old. Lowering the voting age runs counter to laws in many states to implement strict voter ID requirements and limit the time frame during which people can vote. A Kansas law that took effect in 2013 requires residents to provide proof of citizenship when they register to vote. In 2016, 17 states will have new voting restrictions in place for the presidential election, according to the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice in New York. Council members in Washington, D.C., are considering legislation to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in federal elections, a measure even more radical than San Francisco’s. “It’s a very slippery slope when we make the argument that if one can vote, one should be able to stand trial,” Cohen said. [...] on Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors briefly addressed one of the most contentious measures it faces — legislation barring city law enforcement officials from notifying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents when an individual in the country without legal standing will be released from local custody, except in very limited circumstances. Newly elected Sheriff Vicki Hennessy wants greater discretion to notify federal immigration authorities — a position backed by Mayor Ed Lee.

On almost any important policyâtaxes, transfers to the poor, abortion, military interventions, etc.âthe U.S. is approximately the least progressive of all economically advanced countries. Given this, if American progressives were truly principled, then they should hate America. At a minimum, they should least have serious mixed feelings about the country. By contrast, if I, as a conservative, lived in France…

It was inevitable that, on the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to which Christine Blasey Ford was invited so she could finally testify under oath about her alleged sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh, some activist Democrat would produce yet another “victim.” And, sure enough, attorney Michael Avenatti has convinced a woman named Julie Swetnick to sign an affidavit in which she claims that Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were involved in a series of gang rapes and that she was among their victims. The Democrats are clearly growing desperate and their accusations are growing increasingly hysterical.

Miguel Estrada really, really does not like Chuck Schumer. The high-powered lawyer from Honduras recently said he will not accept any nomination from the White House if it requires being civil to Chuck Schumer. The statement given to the National Law Journal comes as rumors swirl that Estrada is in the running to become Trump's next solicitor general. But so long as the job requires Senate confirmation and an audience with Schumer, Estrada isn't interested. He has good reason to skip the opportunity. Sixteen years ago, Schumer, in a particularly foul manner, ruined the lawyer's shot at becoming a federal judge. Back in 2001, Estrada was considered a shoo-in to become a justice on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. With a Harvard degree and record of winning arguments in front of the Supreme Court, the Bush nominee was whip smart. But thanks to Schumer, he never even got a vote in the Senate. The New York Democrat filibustered his nomination seven times.
