Use of Our Tax Money

In order to sell us on Obamacare. Up to $200M of our hard earned money.

How does that make you feel now? I need a drink. Oops, Maryland legislature just increased taxes on alcoholic drinks by 50%. Guess that’s not going to work.

AZ SB1070 Thwarted

Parts of that illegal immigration law – by the 9th Circuit Appeals Court. Imagine my surprise.
At least now this issue just may step up into the realm for SCOTUS involvement.

And ABC News seems to agree. However, an excerpt:

A central provision of the law requires police officers to ask for immigration papers if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person they have stopped, detained or arrested is in the country illegally.

Sounds suspiciously just like the 287G program that County Sheriffs enter into withe I.C.E.

So it sounds to me that Arizona has replicated that program to be workable for the state.

I fail to see a problem here, that is, other than the blatant poliitics on the part of DOJ.

UPDATE: Speechless

Now can we say this is an illegal, warrantless search against all forms of common sense in the U.S.A.??????

UPDATE: TSA defends this.

Yeah? How about – keep your filthy hands off my kids! They are too small for burqas and too small to hide anythng.

Incompetence From the Top Down

April Fools has been over for a bit.

So why would the White House think we would find their tacit admission that their 2012 budget plan wasn’t serious – funny?

This is beyond infuriating. This is unconscionable, ill-conceived, unwarranted and – to me – treasonous to the extreme since it detrimentally affects every – single – living (and yet to be) American in this country.

Planned Parenthood UnPlugged

By a local NPR station in Los Angeles.

How about that.

Oh, off topic – a tad, guess who’s going to announce cuts in Medicare and Medicaid in his speech this week?
That’s right. Barack Obama.

Say thanks to the POTUS, parents and grandparents. Or not.

Historic Scam Indeed

As pointed out by The Great One, Mark Levin.

UPDATE: Putting the Record Straight

Regarding the Thuggery in Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

Make no mistake: The knock-down, drag-out battle in Wisconsin is based on total self-interest, pushing for past privileges, recast as workers’ “rights” that ultimately could bankrupt that state. One would think “collective bargaining rights” are immutable, found in the Bill of Rights, or in The Universal Rights of Man, to hear the public union officials and their lackeys in the Legislature. It is simply not so.

Gary Larson is quite right.

UPDATE: And in Washington state we have this:

Weekly GOP Address with Paul Ryan

Spot on.

WI AG Calls for State Supremes to Intervene

[JURIST] Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen [official website] on Thursday filed a filed a Petition for Supervisory Writ [text, PDF] directly to the state Supreme Court over a circuit court judge’s temporary blocking [JURIST report] of a controversial bill that limits the rights of public employee unions. The suit claims that Dane County Circuit Court [official website] Judge Maryann Sumi did not have the constitutional authority to block the publication of the Budget Repair Bill [Senate Bill 11 text, PDF]. It then asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court [official website] to immediately take jurisdiction of the case and dismiss it. A Petition for Supervisory Writ is not a direct appeal of any lower court decision, but rather a procedure that starts a new action altogether [Wis. Stat. 809.70 text] because the petitioner claims a judge violated his or her constitutional authority.

“a judge violated his or her constitutional authority” well now, someone has it right.

Let’s wait and see if the state Supreme Court will agree.

Wrong Answer And A Bad Attitude

To boot.

Please, folks, we do not need so-called representatives like this guy, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA). Vote him out when the time comes.
