In its first nine months, the Office of Election Crimes and Security referred hundreds of alleged illegal voting cases to local law enforcement for possible charges — but few resulted in any arrests.

Dave Smith on Libertarianism and America as an Empire

Adam hangs with comedian and host of ‘Legion of Skanks’, Dave Smith in Dr. Drew’s New York City apartment. They talk about how life will make you less funny if you let it beat you down which leads to a discussion about red collar beat downs versus blue collar beat downs. Dave explains the reason he is a libertarian before they get into school choice, the difficulties of trying to have a rational debate with people who say nothing substantial, and how you have to overcome feeling sorry for yourself in order to be successful. Next, Dave shares his thoughts on how America really is an empire and Adam laments about the federal government being forced to come down on citizens to create a political talking point. Finally, Adam shares his take on the John Cusack film ‘2012’ and why politicians should be held accountable when they get things wrong.

Clarence & Ginni Thomas' Path To Power

As controversy swirls around Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni over financial benefits they received for years from a Texas billionaire, we look at the formative influences on the Washington power couple. Filmmaker Michael Kirk's FRONTLINE PBS documentary examines Clarence Thomas's early years, where he endured poverty, hardship and discrimination in the Jim Crow South. After a period as a Black Power activist in college, he began to criticize affirmative action and build ties with conservative Republicans, leading eventually to his seat on the Supreme Court. He teamed up with and married Ginni Lamp, who grew up surrounded by far-Right conservatives. Kirk's documentary is Clarence and Ginni Thomas: Politics, Power and the Supreme Court.
