After Bernie Sanders’ decisive win in the New Hampshire primary, a brouhaha has erupted over the delegate count. More specifically, the role of superdelegates has been highlighted, and many of Senator Sanders’ supporters have been left with the impression that the primary process is rigged in order to hand the nomination to Hillary Clinton.

The Pew Research Center conducted a series of surveys to learn about voter preferences and more specifically what presidential qualities voters are looking for in 2016. The results show that registered voters are supporting presidential candidates based on their values as opposed to their experience in the military and politics.

Rachel Maddow said Friday night that Bernie Sanders' campaign may be in trouble because it is based upon voter turnout -- that in Iowa and New Hampshire the number of Democrats voting in this year's caucus and primary was down from 2008.

That's true, it's a fact and hence, no quarrel.

What upsets me is Dr. Maddow's failure, total failure, to point out that in Iowa the percentage of registered Democrats voting in their state's caucus was a mere 15.8; that Republicans hardly did better, with 16.7.

What follows is my interview with Socialist Party USA presidential candidate, Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik. Soltysik previously ran in California's 62nd Assembly district in 2014.

AJ: What is the motivation for running for an office, especially on a presidential ticket?

Word broke late Friday of the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The death of the conservative justice during an election year is bound to have great ramifications.

Justice Anton Scalia died, and there is always sadness in death. People loved him and cared about him and will miss him.

Justice Scalia was also an important member of the Supreme Court. Intellectually, he was a devout ‘originalist.’ In that, he was at best wrongheaded.

Originalism is the doctrine that we must apply the Constitution to the issues of today based on what the words in it, and arguments for and against it, meant to the people who debated and wrote that monumental document.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev bemoans the fact that he can't quite decide if we are politically in 2016 or 1962. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Medvedev stated that we have slipped into Cold War II, where Russian and Western relationships have slipped to new lows.

Correction update: The article originally said that Amash voted against federal aid to Flint. There has not been a vote on it in the House yet. He has come out in opposition to it.

If a nuclear war broke out on January 15, 2017, should President Obama just wait until the next president is inaugurated and let him make the policy decisions that would effect the very nature of the Republic for decades to come?

Of course not, and yet there is a strong movement calling for President Obama to wait until the next president to fill the SCOTUS vacancy left by Justice Scalia's departure.

All Americans should mourn the loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Whether one agreed with him or not (and I was usually one of the “nots”), he was a true giant: a brilliant jurist and a man of integrity who applied the law as he understood it and, in the process, changed the Supreme Court forever. And he died as he lived: with a great flair for drama and an irresistible urge to make things complicated.
