Congratulating a formerly scrupulously non-partisan organization for injecting itself into a presidential campaign? As if that's supposed to be a good thing? From what vantage point was that a good idea? I call it the Reputation Destruction of the Year, except that Roberts should have won that easily.
Maybe Tax Notes should receive a similar award for this decision.
