It would be inherently more legal than the health insurance mandate in Obamacare, since, as far as I can tell by reading the SD Constitution, there is nothing that would prohibit the law (specifically in the Legislative powers) Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy […]

Via CNN, which seems a bit apoplectic over this Judge Roger Vinson, in a 78-page ruling, dismissed the key provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — the so-called “individual mandate†requiring most Americans to purchase health insurance by 2014 or face stiff penalties. “I must reluctantly conclude that Congress exceeded the bounds […]

Perhaps it’s all the years reading and listening to Liberals/progressives/surrender monkeys, as the headline almost seems like the Politico means that as a bad or stupid thing. I get the same feeling from the article The federal lawsuits against last year’s health care overhaul were greeted with eye-rolling and snickers from many conventional legal scholars. […]

It’s truly amusing when there are certain positions that Bush and/or Cheney took that pretty much mirrored the Left side positions. Remember the whole amnesty debate, when Bush’s position was essentially the same as the Democrats? It took liberals a good day or say to figure out a way to bash him for taking the […]

Most insiders know that Joe Scarborough, hired to be Politico’s token conservative, is anything but. At one point, he may have been a Reagan Republican, but, since starting work at MSNBC, he has slowly moved further and further to the left, as the station did. But, Joe has some un-civil words for those on the […]

Remember back to the earlier part of the week, when we were discussing what kind of handgun bill would be introduced by Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), she had said she wanted something common sense, that wouldn’t get the NRA in her face. That notion went right out the window with her proposed legislation The fiercest gun-control […]

Let’s go back in the time machine, shall we, all the way to February 2009 The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today. “As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that […]

Why, yes, the NY Times editorial board is still beating the anti-gun drum, in an attempt to make sure a good tragedy does not go to waste. After discussing Rep Peter King’s silly notion of not allowing guns within 1,000 feet of politicians, something which criminals and wacko’s would surely ignore, because they are criminals […]

Personally, I’m offended and feel threatened by her violent name: Rep. Louise Slaughter She said she does not fear for herself but for her family. She put some of the blame on the FCC saying it does little to tone down inflammatory rhetoric. She said the FCC should work harder to reprimand TV and radio […]
