As you watch the video below [via SEIU Monitor], you can tell the astroturf protesters bused in by the SEIU yesterday to protest outside the Supreme Court for ObamaCare hold some very deep convictions. In fact, their convictions run so deep, it seems all they care about is the $20 given to them in brown envelopes by their union handlers. Ironically, as SEIU Monitor points | Read More »
I appreciate it when Dahlia Lithwick writes more often for Slate Magazine. It’s hard arguing that Liberals lack any fundamental gravamen or intellectual perspicacity without compelling, in print, visual evidence. She entitled her 22 March missive “It’s Not About the Law, Stupid…. Next week’s health care argument before the Supreme Court is all about optics, politics, and public opinion.” In so doing, she just summed | Read More »

So I watched this clip of James Carville furiously spinning the suddenly-more-plausible possibility of Obamacare going down utterly in flames as being the most awesome thing ever for Democrats: By the way: I should ask Erick how he manages to avoid pointing and laughing at performances like this. I don’t know that I could manage the same self-control. Anyway, Allahpundit watched the clip, too, and | Read More »

“The left is pretty sure if they scream partisanship loudly enough, no Republican will stand up and defend the Court as the left assaults its integrity.” Yesterday the left descended into madness. The madness came early in the day. It happened shortly after 10 o’clock in the morning. Justice Anthony Kennedy opened his mouth and uttered his first question on the issue of the individual | Read More »
I’ll leave further commentary to our excellent lawyers, but here’s the video: The CNN legal correspondent’s comments included the following: This was a train wreck for the Obama administration. This law looks like it’s going to be struck down…All of the predictions including mine that the justices would not have a problem with this law were wrong. …The only conservative justice who looked like he | Read More »

Shall the federal government be allowed unfettered power over citizens? That is the ultimate question for nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The three days of Supreme Court oral arguments on ObamaCare may be the most important constitutional discussions of our lifetime. This week in Washington is going to be dominated by a national discussion the constitutionality of ObamaCare, yet Congress plods on. The House of Representatives is expected to take | Read More »
The first round of the US Supreme Court’s attempts to settle the problem that is Obamacare takes place today, and from the Obama administration’s purely partisan (and particularly puerile) perspective, there’s no winning scenario available. Essentially, what’s happening today is the courts are hearing arguments about whether or not Obamacare’s individual mandate qualifies as a tax. If it does qualify as a tax, then under | Read More »
It would be nice if the future of federalism did not rest on what Anthony Kennedy had for breakfast –- if Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell did not spend all of December, 2009, giving Harry Reid back-to-back votes on issues which allowed Reid to buy off swing senators. But we are where we are. So… THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS ONE ARGUMENT STANDING ON BEHALF OF | Read More »
Updated below the fold Ever since the ‘Affordable Care Act’ was passed through a combination of parliamentary maneuvering, state-level kickbacks, and Congressmen being willing to sacrifice their seats for its passage, the left has sought to distance the horrendously unpopular monstrosity of a law from its chief cheerleader, President Obama. This has included railing against people online and in mainstream media, like ABC’s Jake Tapper, | Read More »

My radio producer, Shane, is a genius. And he put this audio montage together in honor of the 2nd anniversary of Obamacare. What to call it? Marx Madness. What to put as background music? Why the national anthem to the USSR of course. Enjoy. UPDATE: On radio and twitter I’ve been giving Stephen Kruiser credit for coming up with it, but Fingers Malloy tells me | Read More »
