  1. Will we be who we say we are?

    I devoted most of my columns over the last several weeks to the holidays, the memories they invoke and the way they bring people together. But as the year draws to a close, even I am surprised to see that none of the scenes I drew took place in church — not even by way of flashback — because I have learned more on Sunday than on any other day of the week. On Sunday I heard lessons about morality couched in stories, punctuated by dance and song. It's when I felt a visceral connection to God and a community. It's the day I saw how one man with a podium and a book could hold hundreds transfixed while he hovered between this world and the next.

  2. Filibuster reform can't wait

    Two months after American voters made it clear they want effective government — and two years before the U.S. Senate's next opportunity to reform its broken rules — that "do nothing" chamber appears poised to fix its filibuster. In its present warped form, it permits a single, unaccountable member, without even taking the floor or speaking, to obstruct both debate and voting on critical legislation affecting 315 million Americans.

  5. Md. petition reform: a tempest in a teapot

    Twenty years after the last time Maryland voters weighed in on a law passed by the General Assembly, they got the chance to do it three times in 2012, with referendums on in-state tuition for some illegal immigrants, same-sex marriage and a gerrymandered congressional district map designed to deliver one more seat to the Democrats. The powers that be in Annapolis are not thrilled — Gov. Martin O'Malley proclaimed it "a little too easy" to put a law on the ballot — and now several of them have introduced legislation to make the task harder. Though Maryland's recent experiences with petitions have exposed some flaws with the process, lawmakers should think twice before declaring referendums to be a dangerous trend that needs to be curtailed.

  6. Republicans rediscover the virtues of immigration reform

    In my <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-mcmanus-column-republican-retreat-20130127,0,6893665.column">Sunday column</a>, I suggested that Republicans in Congress have begun to evolve in a more pragmatic, less ideological direction after their losses in last year&rsquo;s election. As evidence, I noted that House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) backed off last week from a threatened showdown with President Obama over the federal government&rsquo;s debt ceiling.
