Our Ryan Reilly headed over to today’s meeting of the DC chapter of the Federalist Society, where Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) was the featured speaker. This line from Ryan’s dispatch caught my eye: “Americans are ‘on our knees in front of China for credit,’ DeMint told the mostly conservative attendees feasting on fried rice and fortune cookies at Tony Chang’s restaurant in the Chinatown section of D.C.”
