  2. In 'Lincoln,' a historical lapse

    Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" has been acclaimed not just by critics but by historians as well for its acute and realistic portrayal of the 16th president as he maneuvered to pass the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States. But the filmmakers got at least one detail wrong: They depicted two Connecticut delegates to the House of Representatives voting against the amendment when, in fact, all four of Connecticut's House members voted for it in 1865. Now, one of the state's current representatives, Joe Courtney, a Democrat, has written to Spielberg asking if the movie could be corrected before it's released on DVD.

  3. Short of voters, Republicans gerrymander their way back to power

    Republicans have become a devious party that believes if you cannot win by following fair rules, there is nothing wrong with rigging the game. To their constitutionally endorsed advantage in the Senate, they have added a manipulated advantage in the House of Representatives that some Republicans would like to leverage into an advantage in presidential elections.

  6. Obama needs to do more for D.C. than change his license plate

    I used to think that adding the slogan &ldquo;Taxation Without Representation&rdquo; to District of Columbia license plates was tendentious and tacky. But after a decade of being unable to vote for a member of Congress, I have more sympathy for the district officials who came up with this admittedly gimmicky protest.

    HONOLULU -- Passing legislation to avoid the "fiscal cliff" -- and undo income tax increases for most Americans -- was hardly automatic. But signing the bill was.
