Could The SCOTUS Prove Worse Than Nancy Pelosi?

by Smitty Big Government links SCOTUSblog, and then BG concludes, emphasis mine: Apparently, both Justices Scalia and Kennedy didn’t trust that Congress might be able to work out a new law that was actually Constitutional; Kennedy stated that asking Congress to do its job would be unrealistic unless the Court was speaking about “the hypothetical […]

Making ObamaCare Constitutional

by Smitty Here is a short clip, via Breitbart, of two modern Liberal sophists trying to dance around the un-Constitutionality of their puropse: What is the proper way for them to achieve the aim? Article 5 – Amendment The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this […]

Remember, We’re Paying This Incompetent To Steal Our Liberty

by Smitty Via the comments at Breitbart: Justice Elena Kagan asked whether refusing to buy insurance would constitute breaking the law, to which Verrilli responded that if people “pay the tax, then they are in compliance with the law.” That caught the attention of Justice Stephen Breyer. “Why do you keep saying tax?” Breyer interjected, […]

Why Was NY Times Reporter Jeff Zeleny Doing Romney Campaign’s Bidding?

Rick Santorum has been using the “uniquely disqualified” line against Mitt Romney in his stump speeches for weeks to describe how RomneyCare makes the Massachusetts governor a poor choice to face Obama in November.

Gillespie Serves It Dry In A Fonzie Jacket

by Smitty Nick Gillespie is always calm when explaining what should seem obvious, at least to a non-Progressive: Morrissey at Hot Air is difficult to refute: This, I believe, will be the “big f******g deal” for the Supreme Court, and perhaps not just the Scalia wing, either. The removal of this barrier on federal government […]

#ILikeObamaCare

by Smitty A fairly raucous hash tag game broke out on Twitter. It really brings out my snarky side. If you’ve a Twitter account, give me a re-Tweet. IowaHawk also notes that the farce has infected FaceBook. I don’t think the traditional propaganda means are translating so well into the Information Age.

Sandra Fluke Argued for Mandatory Coverage for Sex-Change Surgery

Rather belatedly, we are becoming aware that this supposedly typical Georgetown coed is not very typical at all: [B]irth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if “gender reassignment” surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. […]
