About American attitudes toward both sides? We discuss with well-known Middle

It was Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis who popularized the phrase "states are laboratories of democracy."That has never been clearer than at this moment when some of the most important innovation in governing is coming from states...and some folks, notably on the right, are working on experiments that may end up crippling democracy or even killing it.To get a sense of what is going on at the state level in US politics, we take a look at one bellwether state, Virginia, through the eyes of one of
