Tonight on The Independents: Eric Cantor Shocker, Woe in Afghanistan & Iraq, David Boaz on Sentencing Reform, Snowden Plea-Float, Police Militarization, Meet Libertarian ‘Spoiler’ Sean Haugh, Teacher Tenure Ruling, Plus After-Show*

Whoa. |||What the
hell, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) just got

primaried?
On tonight’s episode of The
Independents
(Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT,
repeats three hours later), the great Yahoo News political reporter
Chris Moody will come on to
make sense out of what few people were predicting until, like, an
hour ago. Was it all about “amnesty?” Was
it also about crony capitalism, Fannie & Freddie, and TARP? We
shall discuss.

The news in places where U.S. soldiers long fought has been

terrible
today, so radio host and military veteran Bryan Suits will be
on to discuss. Cato Executive Vice President David Boaz will analyze
Attorney General Eric Holder’s recent moves in the direction of

sentencing reform
for non-violent drug offenders. Bill Gertz is

reporting
that federal prosecutors are in secret talks with NSA
whistleblower Edward Snowden over a possible plea deal, so we’ll
talk about that with Party Panelists Ellis Henican (Newsday
columnist) and comedian Jimmy Failla.

Have you seen the year’s best campaign commercial?

We’ll talk to the star, North Carolina LP Senate nominee

Sean Haugh
, one of many Libertarians making a
surprisingly strong showing in the South
this year. And I may
talk about the
landmark
(and sure-to-be-contested)
tenure-shredding court decision
in California today.
