EDITORIAL: Taking on City Hall

Being an entrepreneur isn't easy. The economy is tight and credit scarce, so getting a good idea to market takes determination and willpower. Even that's not enough when dull-witted government gets in the way.

Illustration: Go to jail by Greg Groesch for The Washington Times

EDITORIAL: No right to silence

Invoking the right to remain silent can no longer be invoked by remaining silent. That's the odd conclusion the Supreme Court arrived at Monday in a Texas murder case that will affect anyone pulled over for something as simple as speeding.

EDITORIAL: Transgenders and toilets

Forget tolerance. What many on the left are after is imposing their views on just about everything on just about everyone, with judges serving as willing accomplices.

EDITORIAL: The microwave tax

The Energy Department is once more deciding what kind of appliances are good for you. Like the "standards" the federal government imposed on light bulbs, toilets, washing machines and other essentials, the rules are all about taking choices from consumers and requiring them to buy machines that don't work or don't work as well as they once did.

EDITORIAL: The urge to retreat

Squishy Republicans are the first to insist the party must move leftward any time an election doesn't go their way. Squish is a hard sell in other places, too, as British Prime Minister David Cameron is learning.
