HALL of SHAME! After pro-abortion ObamaCare vote, Stupak 11 request $3.4 billion in earmarks. A day after Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., and ten other House members compromised on their pro-life position to deliver the necessary yes-votes to pass health care reform, the "Stupak 11" released their fiscal year 2011 earmark requests, which total more than $3.4 billion--an average of $314 million worth of earmark requests for each lawmaker. [ JS – That’s about $2,600 per aborted life in 2009 ]
THUGOCRACY Watch! Is BHO treating corps. who report ObamaCare losses worse than McCarthy treated communists? I think so!
Constitution Watch! Watch for the Full Court Press on the so-called "Living Constitution"! We’re hearing a lot today about a so-called “Living Constitution.” Indeed, Barack Obama has in the past bemoaned the fact that prior Supreme Courts, notably the one presided over by Earl Warren in the 1960s, failed to break “free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution.” He has also suggested that the U.S. Constitution was basically a “charter of negative liberties,” that falls far short of what is needed these days.

A Toast to the Administrative State - The magic of the present moment may do much to cement Obama’s legacy, but it does little to change this nation’s fiscal reality to whit: the nation is running huge deficits, has grown the national debt, has unfunded promises it can’t keep and for the first time the majority of this nations debt is in foreign hands (alas, not in the hands of Greece, Portugal et al.) Rather than seek market alternatives that would cost nothing, this president and this congress chose to inflict upon the nation an expensive boondoggle that will, they have explained -- in the odd dialect of congressional-ese and in contradiction of actual historical evidence -- actually make us fiscally sound. It will not.
Power Politics as BHO Does the SEIU's Bidding with recess appts.- without bipartisan support!
..It is notable, however, that Mr. Obama sang a different tune when he was in the Senate and called Mr. Bush's recess appointment of John Bolton to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations an abuse of power. At the time, Mr. Bolton had bipartisan support but Democrats used a filibuster to deny him an up or down vote.
The same can't be said of Mr. Obama's most controversial recess appointee, labor lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. The SEIU stalwart, who has written that the NLRB can rewrite labor law without the consent of Congress, was opposed by every Republican as well as Democrats Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln.
