For Claiming Their Love Of Democracy, Republican Sure Love To Screw It!

Misc

If you can’t beat them, change the system so you can! Here’s the story. The electoral college is mandated by the Constitution as the way to determine the winner of presidential elections, but it’s up to each state to decide how to apportion their electoral votes.

Whatever Happened To “It Takes Money To Make Money”?

Politics

The AP has put out a fact check of President Obama’s claim last night that everything in his jobs program is paid for: resident Barack Obama’s promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions. It will only be paid for if a committee he can’t control […]

A Perry Idea I Can Really Get Behind

Misc

There’s not much I like about Rick Perry, but this idea from his book ‘Fed Up’ is one I can definitely get behind: One solution the governor embraces is to end lifetime tenure — a cornerstone of the Constitution, whose drafters worried far less about activist or senile judges than about meddling tyrants and political […]

New Rule: Those Who Can’t Follow Rules Can’t Be Supreme Court Justices

Politics

Justice Clarence Thomas has been breaking the rules of the court for 13 years by not reporting his wife’s income.

Politics

So the party of “financial responsibility” is going to spend about $1.1 million just on reading the Constitution on the House floor: The amount I get is nearly $1.1 million. $1,071,872.87, to be exact, though of course this is more back-of-the-envelope than exact.

Chief Asshat Of The SCOTUS

Politics

Again Justice Antonin Scalia gives reason for a judicial malpractice clause in our Constitution. In a recent interview, this is what Scalia had to say: In 1868, when the 39th Congress was debating and ultimately proposing the 14th Amendment, I don’t think anybody would have thought that equal protection applied to sex discrimination, or certainly […]

If Government Can’t Limit The 2nd Amendment, What About The 4th?

Politics

Today the Supreme Court ruled that states can’t impose laws hindering the gun rights: The Supreme Court held Monday that the Constitution’s Second Amendment restrains government’s ability to significantly limit “the right to keep and bear arms,” advancing a recent trend by the John Roberts-led bench to embrace gun rights.

Lieberman/Collins Bill Would Let The Government Take Over Your Network

Politics

Leave it to Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins to figure out ways to let the government extend their reach even more: Lieberman and Collins’ solution is one of the more far-reaching proposals. In the Senators’ draft bill, “the President may issue a declaration of an imminent cyber threat to covered critical infrastructure.” Once such a […]

So BP Now Owns Our Beaches And The Coast Guard?

Science

From the article I posted early about oil entering the marshes comes this very troublesome tidbit: When CBS News tried to reach the beach, covered in oil, a boat of BP contractors with two Coast Guard officers on board told us to turn around under threat of arrest. Coast Guard officials said they are looking […]
