Last month, Brad Podliska, an Air Force Reserve major, alleged the Benghazi committee terminated him based on his military obligations and his refusal to advance an agenda targeting Hillary Clinton. Now, Podliska is detailing those charges in court in a new filing that alleges Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy broke the law by defaming him in their public battle over Podliska’s firing.

Romney did an op ed in the Washington Post yesterday on ISIS and was on the Today Show this morning. Romney was asked and implied that he did not think that Trump could handle ISIS. When asked about Carson and Trump, Romney stated that there are two or three candidates in the GOP field who could win a general election and these people could deal with ISIS. Romney was asked who would be better fighting ISIS-Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump and Romney only attack Clinton but did not comment on Trump's ability.

I suspect that Trump will consider this to be an insult and we can expect some attacks later today

The good news is that the Texas primary will be on Super Tuesday and the bad news is that we are stuck with the same gerrymandered districts for one more cycle http://electionlawblog.org/?p=77373 If the panel had struck down the current gerrymandered districts, the March 1 primary would have to be moved just like in 2012.
