As expected, the United States Department of Justice is apparently filing suit againt the state of Arizona over its immigrant law.  Apparently Eric Holder will be running with a pre-emptive supremacy clause.  The way I understand it is Holder will be arguing that federal law trumps state law. And it does. And Holder will lose. [...]

This thing over the Arizona immigrant law is pathetic. Janet Napolitano thinks it’s horrible.  She knows it creates racial profiling.  She hasn’t read it. Eric Holder is quite certain it’s illegal.  That it violates several Constitutional rights.  He hasn’t read it but he plans to file suits on behalf of the federal government. Now, Felipe [...]

This doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone I’m sure: In his defense of supporting Obamacare, Congressman Phil Hare states very assuredly he doesn’t care about the Constitution on this issue. Mainly because we’re assured of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But none of that really matters because people are going bankrupt paying [...]

Eric Holder was quite proud of himself yesterday.  Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist attack on New York City.  This according to Holder, was proof that his decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City was justified.

I got a problem with that.  The ONLY intent of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to insure everyone is protected equally by the law.  For the US Attorney General to [...]

This isn’t the first time this has happened, but it’s being discussed again ( via Kerry Picket at Newsbusters.org ): The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also looking at how it can put in place policies that would allow it greater oversight of the Internet. “Internet radio is becoming a big deal, and we’re seeing [...]

Everyone is saying this has been a near-flawless transition: It had to come some time. Despite a nearly flawless transition period of astute, substantive and widely praised cabinet appointments, the nascent Obama administration has unintentionally provoked its first controversy. Significantly, it is in the sphere of national security. I haven’t been quite as impressed. Bill [...]

Well, after demanding change for two solid years, and getting a LOT of people to buy into his change, Obama’s “change” is starting to take shape.  This is what it is possibly looking like now that Obama’s had a couple of weeks to vet the changelings he wants spearheading his change.   Janet Napolitano.  You [...]
