On Valentine’s Day, president Obama held a Google chat where he pressed the issue of “climate change.” I find it interesting that its proponents have shifted the name from its previous “global warming” to its now preferred verbiage- “climate change”- as if changing the name makes the “solutions” any less nonsensical. But, I digress. In that chat, Obama notes that the likelihood of legislative action | Read More »
There is an old adage- but actually relatively new in US history- that the road to the Presidency runs through Ohio. And, in fact, the last time the voters of Ohio sided with a losing candidate was in 1960 when they opted for Republican Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy. This year, it would appear that Ohio is poised to yet again be a major | Read More »
Its time for another installment of interesting cases from the various Circuit Courts of Appeal that may wind their way before the Supreme Court eventually. Incidentally, they are called “circuits” because federal judges used to literally “ride the circuits” as in stagecoach circuits deciding cases. Just a little historical tidbit for your reading consumption. Starting in the 1st Circuit, that Court has ruled that Boston | Read More »
The United States is the largest producer and the largest consumer of natural gas in the world. Besides gas trapped in natural formations, technology has mastered geology with the fracking techniques developed largely without government subsidies, but by drilling, extraction, and oil companies. Recent articles have noted that a state like Pennsylvania, which sits atop the huge Marcellus shale formation that contains an estimated 10.3 | Read More »
In an effort to keep RedState readers updated regarding court cases in the eleven circuit courts of appeal (I am not including the DC Circuit) that may eventually reach the Supreme Court, or that touch upon issues near and dear to conservatives, I thought it worthy to briefly discuss, by circuit, some cases. I will probably do this every three months in an effort to | Read More »
The solutions to our dependence on foreign oil can be solved, the experts say by either increasing supply (the “drill baby drill” people) or decreasing demand (the tree huggers). I don’t understand why it cannot be both simultaneously. The United States is a leader in technology for safely extracting oil nd natural gas. As Shell Oil vividly demonstrated in the case of extracting shale oil, | Read More »
So according to Barack Obama, the Republican jobs plan seeks to create dirty air, dirty water, and no health care for the population. Yes, and it also encourages those evil railroad companies to put Grandma out of her house, the oil companies to rape the land and God knows what else evil it shall wrought. His plan, on the other hand, is designed to save | Read More »
From a fiscal standpoint, perhaps the most dangerous Democratic constituency are the environmentalists. What one cannot achieve legislatively, one can achieve through the regulatory apparatus of the EPA. As long as liberal nut cases like Carol Browner, Lisa Jackson and Steven Chu are in charge, that threat exists. Fortunately, there are fact checkers who question the premises of the Al Gore crowd. Unfortunately, because of their | Read More »
In the continuing effort to illustrate that the Obama Presidency is an unprincipled collection of old school liberal ideology, several pieces of legislation wind their way through Congress. Based upon his view of American principles and values and in the alleged interests of all, the Democratic leadership continues to create carve outs and special protections to special interests. The lobbyist who claimed that lobbyists | Read More »
