Americans risk losing our most sacred right
It suddenly hit me this week: I don't live in the real world. I live in Washington, D.C. In the real world, nobody would argue about renewing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). It's a no-brainer. Violence against women, all women, is wrong. Only...

Notebook: Litmus tests await votes in SD Legislature
