Judicial Nominations: The Problem and Solution

    There are currently 82 vacancies in the federal judiciary. A recent article in one of my favorite liberal rags- The Nation- states that the “obstructionist” Republicans in the Senate are holding up the judicial process in the US. This is part of an article by Ari Berman which addresses not only this issue, but the importance of the Supreme Court in relation to this year’s | Read More »

    To Regulate or To Tax: Happy Tax Day

    The question is whether to regulate or to tax. The answer from the Obama Administration is apparently both. Yesterday, as expected, the Senate failed to pass the so-called Buffett Rule. It became increasingly obvious as the debate unfolded and tough questions were asked and analysis revealed, this was nothing more than a populist election year gimmick that, in typical Obama fashion, fails to address the | Read More »

    Voter Fraud and Campaign Finance: A Comparison

    Some fine folks in the Liberal community, never at a loss to take advantage of a situation, have found yet another alleged smoking gun in the alleged Republican war on women. In fact, they have managed to get two of their talking points into one argument which you have to at least give them credit for. Specifically, I am talking about the fine folks at | Read More »

    Democratic Denigration of Women

    The alleged GOP “war on women” narrative being woven by Democrats including Obama can better be described as a Democratic manipulation and demeaning of women. Personally, I have always felt it was insulting to women in general to define “women’s rights” around abortion or, more generally, “reproductive rights.” Despite the alleged liberation of women, it is like saying that childbirth- or the decision to have | Read More »

    Messing With the Electoral College

    There is a movement in the country to surreptitiously elect the President by popular vote under the guise of saving the Electoral College. Specifically, I am referring to the interstate compact for the popular vote of the President. According to the dynamics, once the requisite number of states sign onto the agreement by statute and their electoral votes equal 270 (the amount needed to win | Read More »

    Taking On the Court?

    In a recent article in The Atlantic, First Amendment lawyer Marvin Ammori wrote an argument that Obama should run against the Supreme Court and make it an issue in the 2012 campaign. Starting with reasons not to do so, he quickly comes to the conclusion that Obama should discard those reasons and attack. The first reason is strategic. Obama’s approval rating stands near 47% while | Read More »

    Our Law Professor President

    Barack Obama has decided to take on the Supreme Court with his rhetoric regarding the health care oral arguments. Stating confidence that the Court will not overturn a law enacted by a duly elected legislature, self-proclaimed University of Chicago Law Professor, Obama, apparently failed to teach his students a mainstay of constitutional law. Since 1803, in the case of Marbury v. Madison, the concept of | Read More »

    Shame on the RNC and Shame On Liberals

    The Liberal press and blogosphere is absolutely insane over the recent Obamacare oral arguments before the Supreme Court. Apparently a day to digest the argument has given them enough time to conjure up enough vitriol to make a Spike Lee tweet look trivial. On one article on DailyKos, the writer used the term “radical” to describe the Supreme Court ten times in five paragraphs indicating | Read More »

    Guns, Laws and Commonsense: Part 1

    After every major instance when someone is shot and killed using a gun, why must Liberals go running for the microphone and cart out their mantra and pleas for gun control? We heard it after Columbine and after the Giffords incident and we are hearing it now regarding the Trayvon Martin killing (along with concealed carry and stand your ground laws). In this case, we | Read More »

    Just a Few Things to Think About…

    1. Why do liberals refer to “social justice” or “economic justice?” Shouldn’t it simply be “justice?” 2. If global warming is shrinking the polar bear population due to loss of habitat, why has their population increased from 5,000 to 25,000 over the last 50 years? 3. Why is Obama our “first black President” if his mother was white? Wouldn’t he be our first “half black | Read More »
