Check out the loser-pays forum today on Philip Howard's blog.  I have enjoyed Howard's books on litigation reform and our old friend Walter Olson will be posting as well. 

What Republicans need to be doing is more of this, calling out Democrats who refuse to allow a vote on whether to permit more oil drilling. 

Years ago Newt Gingrich and his young turks created a groundswell of support for conservatives by using floor speeches of substance to explain their ideas. 

The public's support for increased domestic oil production is clear and Republicans, for once, have the wind in their backs on this issue.  Republicans in Congress should continue the demonstration, turning it into a sit-in, until the Speaker calls the House back to vote.
