The chairman of the U.S. Senate tax-writing committee on Thursday expressed positive sentiments about the possibility of raising the federal gasoline tax. "I'm open to look at everything," Hatch said in response to a reporter's question about chatter in Congress over trying to raise the tax to fund highway repairs and other construction projects. "I prefer not to increase taxes but to me that's a user fee," said Hatch, a Republican, adding: "People who use the highways ought to pay for them. And that's a small price to pay to have the best highway system in the world." http://bit.ly/1BMLAV0 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

One of the first items of business for House Republicans in the new Congress is to vote on a bill Thursday that would redefine the work week from 30 hours to 40 hours. It's called the Save American Workers Act of 2015 and it would require the work week to be defined as 40 hours rather than 30, which is mandated under the Affordable Care Act.

Employers support it, including the National Retail Federation, the National Restaurant Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. http://nbcnews.to/1ANbSIK http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

One man meets the challenges, grows stronger and more successful as a result. The other man ignores the crisis at first, hoping that it will go away. When the denials breakdown, the second man feels overwhelmed and succumbs to the problem and his life is subsequently ripped apart. Nations are like people, they have a character, a personality and a persona. They either have resilience and can bounce back from adversity, or they do not. They either have courage or they cower in the corner because they are weak and timid in the face of danger. And like with the two men, when countries face the same challenges, one country may thrive and the other country takes a dive. When we look at how two countries, Iceland and the United States, responded to economic Armageddon in 2008, one country was head and shoulders above the other in...

http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Tenth Circuit by Judge Neil Gorsuch is always known for his strong opinions. He recently let the increasingly militarized and Constitution-ignoring police have it in the ruling on United States v. Denson, which addresses the use a Doppler radar device to determine if residents are present within a home to be searched or raided. The case involved a home entry and arrest of a suspect. Judge Gorsuch notes the importance of Fourth Amendment Constitutional issues that are raised by use of a “Doppler radar device capable of detecting from outside the home the presence of human breathing and movement within.” http://bit.ly/1waiPhB
