The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is the most overturned court in the United States. One of the judges most frequently reversed is the Carter-appointed Stephen Reinhardt. Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued four rulings, all of which were reversals, all of which were unanimous, and two of which (here and here) were reversals of 9th Circuit decisions (the other two reversed 6th Circuit decisions). The | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. This is what a real judicial ruling looks like, one based on the U.S. Constitution, compared to other “rulings” based on the talking points of the Democratic Party. Judge Henry Hudson of the Eastern District of Virginia, appointed by President George W. Bush, overturned the Obamacare mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. As was the case with Thomas More Law Center v. Obama (TMLC), a Clinton-appointed Democratic political official masquerading as a federal judge issued a political statement of Democratic talking points masquerading as a judicial ruling. I don’t want to delve too much into the weeds of this “ruling” since Liberty University, et al. | Read More »
The federal government plans on intruding more into the lives of all Americans. First, Congress is looking to pass an expansive food safety law. The FDA would be given the authority to impose additional standards, including new registration and documentation of safety plans by food producers to be given to the federal government, along with the authority to order recalls. The effect could very well | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. District Court Judge George Caram Steeh, a Clinton appointee, issued a ruling yesterday regarding Obamacare in Thomas More Law Center, et al. v. Obama, et al. (TMLC). Reading through his “judicial” opinion, I got the sense that the most pertinent parts were written by a Democratic political operative, not a judge; it’s the | Read More »
The nephew of the great Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas was allegedly beaten and tased (which led to an epileptic seizure) by a security detail at a New Orleans area hospital earlier this week. Thomas was told by the young man’s sister, and it is reported that Thomas was outraged, and will be flying down to Louisiana to look further into the matter (and | Read More »
So, Justice John Paul Stevens is retiring. Now we learn that Dawn Johnsen has withdrawn her nomination to run the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) at the DoJ. Teh Won had been hankering so bad to get Johnsen in that position that he nominated her twice while the idiot Senate Majority “Leader” Reid dithered on bringing the nomination for a full vote on the Senate | Read More »
You know, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) should be referenced every time some pathetic statist speaks. In answer to E. J. Dionne in a column he wrote in today’s Washington Post called “A bipartisan push to clean up the Supreme Court’s mess,” all I can say to E. J. is “You, lie!!!” It starts in paragraph 2: At issue is the court’s astonishingly naive decision in | Read More »
Earlier today, I had a post on the extremely biased (pro-Democrat and pro-statist, naturally) “news” article by Dan Eggen at the Washington Post about a WaPo-ABC News poll showing Americans of all political persuasions being against the recent Citizens United v. FEC ruling that pretty much trashed the 1st Amendment violation known as McCain-Feingold. In the post, there was nothing showing the questions that were | Read More »
Dan Eggen at the Washington Post wrote a completely pro-Democrat and pro-statist piece called “Poll: Large majority opposes Supreme Court’s decision on campaign financing,” a report on a Washington Post-ABC News poll regarding the recent Citizens United v. FEC ruling, disguising it as a news article. It is claimed that as many as 85% of Democrats, 81% of independents, and, shockingly, 76% of Republicans oppose | Read More »
One of the arguments that is made by those who support the statists’ version of health care “reform” is that the government needs to have more and more control of it as a benefit to the general welfare of the American people. Those like President Obama and those who worship him will say they have plans ready to go, plans that have been in development | Read More »
Regardless of where you are in regards to marriage between people of the same sex (as I mentioned here, I am against it, Vermont constitutionally passed legislation legalizing such marriages. Vermont is the only state to have made them legal in the method approved of by conservatives, through the legislative process (and without a prior ruling by the state courts), while the other three, Massachusetts, | Read More »
As has already been reported, Iowa’s Supreme Court unanimously overturned a law defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman, thus granting same-sex couples to get “married”. The left defines this as a huge victory for “civil rights” and in the cause of “marriage equality”, and they proudly proclaim how the court followed the Constitution. There is a mention in the ruling | Read More »
