Foppish Munch-head’s Jacked-up Ruling: Annoying

by Smitty Sure, I’ve never paid that much attention to the judiciary, figuring that, well, they’re probably more erudite than I. Other than rejecting the DoJ’s motion to dismiss in the VA ObamaCare suit, the headline-making actions of our nation’s judges raise the question of whether a judge can be impeached upon the basis of […]

Some Salve For The Kagan Vote

by Smitty Gary Marx at TNR has a little picker-upper concerning Justice Kagan, the bullet points of which I’ll repeat, but RTWT: This 63–37 vote was a victory for judicial conservatives.

Debt Slavery Is THE Issue

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that Jesus’s Golden Rule inspired him to vote to confirm Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court and suggested it would be a good thing for his Senate colleagues to also ponder Jesus’s words as they prepared to vote […]

What These Dudes Said

by Smitty (h/t Big Government) Wow, these dudes make sense:The notion that the government, especially the federal government, should involve itself in marriage may need to be reviewed. I should not be imposing on these gentlemen to support my hyper-conservative views on baptism, and I appreciate that they are not asking me to justify their […]
