Spring Obamacare-repeal Cruz amid Boehner March-debt Madness
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | March 20th at 01:51 PM |
Vernal Equinox brings conservative resurrection hopes for Republican Party courage to shut down the government after Campaign 2012 GOP autopsy. If there is one lesson this tea partier conservative learned from the re-election of President Barack Obama that we never expected to see, it is that Republicans can not count on a majority of voters to hold Democrats responsible for the failed results of their | Read More »
Abortion, concussions, Obama’s son and Super Bowl XLVII
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | February 1st at 02:18 PM |
The selective caring of Democrats is in sudden death overtime. Baltimore meets San Francisco in New Orleans on Super Bowl Sunday, with any gold left in them thar’ 49ers’ hills expected to reach an all-time high price in 2013 thanks to a Raven(ou)s attack on the GDP in the fourth quarter of 2012. Cockstradamus, with access to Leonard’s Losers’ Smart Pill Machine, sees Poe’s deer antler-sprayed black | Read More »
Between Obama’s fiscal cliff and a Lame Duck desert floor
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 13th at 03:28 PM |
Calling President Obama and Speaker Boehner for safety net. If Lame Duck doesn’t break fall; after crash, dial 1-80O-bam-acare or an estate tax lawyer. America went over the fiscal cliff years ago I’ve never bungee jumped or sky dived. Heck, since that candy apple leapt out of me at age 12 on the downswing of the roller-coaster at the Piedmont Interstate Fair, I’ve settled for such thrills on the | Read More »
But in Georgia…voters should weigh Barrow against his Democratic Party
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 8th at 09:09 AM |
In a recent issue of Atlanta Times News, Mike DeVine admonished DeKalb County voters to send only Republicans to represent them in Washington, D.C. given the desperate need to repeal Obamacare and pass economic growth-friendly legislation so that a real recovery can commence across the Fruited Plain, including in the Peach State. But given the circumstance in portions of Georgia south of DeKalb, this Sandlapper thinks an | Read More »
Romneycare as states rights debating point
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 4th at 09:17 AM |
Remember those conservatives during the Republican presidential primaries that thought Romneycare would prevent Mitt from being able to take on Obamacare? I do. I was one of them. We were wrong. Rarely have we had a true back and forth debate between presidential candidates of opposing parties like we did last night. Thanks to Mitt Romney’s initiative and Jim Lehrer’s wisdom to let it flow, and to Hades | Read More »
Roberts’ Commerce Clause silver lining: The Slope Done Slipped
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | July 11th at 01:14 PM |
The taxing power is more overt, but how much commerce is left to regulate with Obamacare safely constitutional? In the wake of the recent judgment of the nation’s highest court upholding the Affordable Care Act, conservatives were invited to wax optimistic since the Chief Justice joined the four conservative dissenters on the judgment in agreeing that the individual mandate to buy health insurance or be fined is not a | Read More »
The Constitution as fodder for Roberts’ Obamacare ransom note
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 30th at 01:47 PM |
Emanating “tax, not a tax” penumbras, the liberal imprimatur of legitimacy and so much for the judicial “restraint” of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Would you rather be hung or shot? (…and be happy about it!) We the People ordained and ratified a constitution as the centerpiece of a limited government alternative to the Divine Right of Kings and parliaments | Read More »
Romney, the un-McCain: Obama indifferent, or worse, to economic suffering
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 9th at 01:52 PM |
Finally, a Republican has the guts to make a moral case against Democratic Party economic policies Significantly on the day before President Barack Obama made the defining statement of his presidency that the ”private sector is doing fine”, Mitt Romney became the first GOP presidential nominee in memory to eschew the usual, non-judgmental, Republican line against the economic policies of our “honorable friends on the other side of the | Read More »
ObamaCare: 60 Senate Democrats, Bill Clinton, two Kennedys, five lawyers and Election 2012
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | March 28th at 04:20 PM |
The fate of the republic is not in the hands of one Supreme Court justice From listening to the media commentary during the extraordinary past three days of oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court, one would think that Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy decreed that ObamaCare would be the law of the land unless he gets talked out of it this week. It is | Read More »
Other conscience objections after ObamaCare abortion pill-mandate is dropped
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | February 7th at 12:59 PM |
The free exercise of religion was fundamental to the founding of America and so was the right to freely bargain with health care and insurance providers After President Barack Obama inevitably drops the recently announced mandate that even church-affiliated employers provide health insurance coverage for contraception, sterilization and morning after abortion pills, will we look back at this exercise as a ruse to make ObamaCare | Read More »
ObamaCare etc in the name of Jesus et al
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | February 5th at 12:46 PM |
Would Christ care about the results of particular policies? I think so. President Barack Obama continued to deliver on his campaign promise to fundamentally change America last week with more ObamaCare-empowered executive fiats directed at private insurance companies and an unprecedented co-opting of the National Prayer Breakfast to declare his policies as Biblical and even Messiah-approved. “And so when I talk about our financial institutions playing by | Read More »
Debates show Cain more able than Romney, Perry et al
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | September 23rd at 05:07 PM |
The businessman eschews semantics and revising history in favor of taking care of America’s business Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme? A “failure”? Who cares what one-word description best fits says Herman Cain. Leave such irrelevancies to politicians, academics and bloggers with time on their hands. He would rather be about the business of curing what ails America. Admittedly, it helps to have a record in | Read More »

Atlanta Court right to sever ObamaCare
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | August 12th at 02:51 PM |
Non-severed portions of health care law are destroying the private health insurance industry now and even if a President Romney could grant waivers to all businesses in America, that destruction would continue. But DeVine Law is happy with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals: The Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, found that Congress exceeded its authority by requiring Americans to buy coverage, | Read More »
Yes, Virginia, there is a Direct Supreme Court Appeal Claus(e)
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | April 21st at 04:56 PM |
When the Chief Justice of the United States convenes his regular Friday Conference tomorrow, four elves (or Santa and three elves) are required to determine if Ken Cuccinell’s direct appeal of ObamaCare is naughty or nice. Federal district courts in Virginia and Florida found ObamaCare’s mandate that citizens’ wallets jump when AFLAC ducks quack, to be so much excess, and unconstitutional, water on our American’ backs. Moreover, | Read More »
Judge Vinson caves on ObamaCare
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | March 6th at 10:25 AM |
“Clarification” order scolds DOJ to hurry up, then gives license to implement a law he deems unconstitutional The only hope We the People had of preventing the solidification of socialized medicine pending a definitive ruling on President Barack Obama’s signature hope and change law no less than two years from now by the nation’s highest court, died last week at the hands of the man | Read More »
GC Echo Syndrome on desperate DOJ motion to clarify in ObamaCare case [updated]
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | February 17th at 10:10 PM |
[Updated} Aaron Worthing of Patterico.com echoes our assertion of The Department of Justice and Attorney General Eric Holder's disingenuousness: So the Obama administration’s lawyers have filed a “Motion to Clarify” where they pretend that they are not sure what Judge Vinson meant by his ruling. You see a few states, such as Florida and Alaska, have decided in light of Vinson’s ruling that Obamacare is | Read More »
Court Orders are orders: Is Obama Administration already in contempt?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | February 2nd at 01:05 PM |
Judge Roger Vinson’s “Order Granting Summary Judgment” to those seeking to declare ObamaCare unconstitutional, became the law of the land upon its filing with the Clerk of Court for the Pensacola Division of the United State District Court for the Northern District of Florida on Monday, January 31, 2011. Any Obama Administration act or omission in furtherance of the oxymoronically named “Patient Protection and Affordable | Read More »
Cockstradamus on death (of white guilt) and taxes (as mandates)

Cockstradamus on race, losing the white (guilt) vote, etc With the N.L. East-leading Atlanta Braves still on track to defeat the New York Yankees in the World Series, it seems a good time for our visionary alter ego to bring his high wire act to bear on correct crowings of the recent past and the immediate future.

Georgia’s immortal tort juries, sick taxes and death penalties

Highlights and low lights of the current legislative session and all things Georgia law and politics from Gamecock’s Stone Mountain Roost Georgia and ObamaCare Attorney General Thurbert Baker, the elected Democratic currently holding a state-wide office in the Peach State, had no duty to join other states in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the individual and state mandates included in ObamaDems’ health care bill. DeVine Law favors Republican Governor Sonny Perdue’s decision to engage pro | Read More »
Dem-o-bats still suck blood from health care liberty sans abortion

Senator Nelson, do not be fooled and do not try to fool We the social conservative pro-life people The fate of America could well be decided before Christmas as it appears the ObamaDems in the U.S. Senate are no more than four votes short of ushering in socialized medicine or its slippery-slope equivalent that makes a government option monopoly inevitable.
