Santorum to campaign at Supreme Court

Former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) is bringing his presidential campaign to the steps of the Supreme Court on Monday, the first day of oral arguments on the constitutionality of the national health-care law.

The visit comes as the GOP nominating contest enters something of a week-long lull. The next contests aren’t until April 3, when the District, Maryland and Wisconsin hold their primaries.

Santorum had a big win in Louisiana over the weekend, but that good news has been overshadowed somewhat by an episode in which he used a swear word when pushing back against a question by a New York Times reporter.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner, continues to rack up endorsements. His latest come from Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a tea party icon, and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), a member of House GOP leadership.
