Michelle Malkin reports that deem and pass is dead. Washington Post makes the same report.

Uh-oh

Michelle Malklin: The man sought in the Lakewood, Washington, police shooting had his prison sentence commuted by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. The AP also has that information in their report. I always thought that Gov. Huckabee was too quick to grant clemency and disagreed with all those that made the papers. For example, the Wayne Dumond case was highly publicized. I may be wrong but I recall that Gov. Clinton did not make such mistakes. (Yes, he made other mistakes.)

On Huckabee's record see here.  From 1996 to 2004 he used his clemency power 703 times, compared to 624 times for the combined total in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Huckabee made a routine use of his clemency power, commuting sentences of a dozen murderers.

In the Washington shooting, the man's name is Maurice Clemmons, age 37. He has a long criminal history. Huckabee commuted his sentence in May 2000. Michelle has the full details.

Michelle Malkin: The AARP is preparing to endorse Obamacare. Well, what else is new?

See this AP report.

Two million people yesterday demonstrated in Washington, protesting Obamacare, taxes, and deficit spending. They were tea partiers, and American patriots in action. Roger Simon has this reaction. Rick Moran notes that this is one of the rare conservative protest movements in American history. See Michelle Malkin's coverage.

Jennifer Rubin: "We are witnessing a grass roots outpouring of support for limited government, the rule of law, fiscal sobriety, and generational responsibility."

The numbers are in question but they were undoubtedly large.
