The right wing conspiracy nut jobs have been having a field day bogging down our courts with claims that Obama isn’t eligible to be President, claiming he is not an actual citizen. Well the latest claim has been shot down by the SCOTUS: The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New […]
Last week Bush made an unprecedented request for the Department of Justice to investigate Ohio voter registrations. Something like this has never been done so close to an election. Well now it looks like the DOJ is ignoring Bush: The Department of Justice will not require Ohio to disclose the names of voters whose registration […]
It’s a good question that needs to be answered by the Republican nominee: In both 1993 and 1994, McCain voted against the anti-terrorism measure. On each occasion, McCain was one of thirty radical anti-choice Senators to oppose the bill Fortunately, despite McCain’s opposition, it passed the Senate by a 69-30 margin.

The Supreme Court has refused to hear a case regarding the warrantless wiretapping, which gives a defacto thumbs up to a lower court ruling that the plaintiffs couldn’t sue, because they couldn’t prove they were wirtetapped.
This is absolutely absurd: The U.S. Supreme Court turned down a lawyer’s request Tuesday for immediate access to the medical files of a Guantanamo prisoner who says he has AIDS. Chicago attorney H. Candace Gorman said she needs access to her client’s records as she wages a legal fight to make sure he gets adequate […]
The Bush Supreme Court at work. The Supreme Court yesterday strictly limited the ability of investors who lost money through corporate fraud to sue other businesses that may have helped facilitate the crime, a decision that could doom stockholder efforts to recover billions of dollars lost in Enron and other high-profile cases.
