In the last month, federal district courts in Idaho and South Carolina have handed down rulings on Republican party lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of each state’s open primary system.  Idaho’s open primary system was struck down, but South Carolina’s was upheld.

With the top two open primary initiative soon to be implemented in the state's first election, the California Republican Party continues to move forward with an effort to offset its effects. 

Today, Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) will be unveiling the establishment GOP's ten-year plan to make $6 trillion in spending cuts. Critics are already calling the proposal "radical," but Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said last month that the Republicans' ten-year budget plan will actually do very little to meaningfully address the out-of-control spending in Washington.
