“It’s what happens when you elect RINOs.”

No argument here.

Hillary had the FBI files on her political opponents in the private residence of the White House during the Clinton years. Do we really think that she and/or Obama doesn’t have them now?

Can you think of any plausible reason that a traditionally conservative jurist would step so far out of what is normal and rule in such a weird way that even legal scholars have been left scratching their heads?

That’s not going to happen unless you get an overwhelming majority (60+, IMO) in the Senate.

If what you say is true, it's necessary. We must do it. As Christians and patriots, it's our job to defend the truth and our families and neighbors, at the cost of our lives, if necessary. Anything else is, I'm sorry to say, cowardice. Unless someone has a better way to achieve the same end, it's our duty. The fact that it's difficult is just part of the landscape.

Article, and # 61.

Thanks, azishot. The Pelican Brief was also mentioned yesterday on another website, fwiw.

"Robert’s judicial philosophy....."

From The MAN his self:

""I don't necessarily think that it's the best approach to have an all-encompassing philosophy.""

"if Roberts used that reasoning then he should have taken into account the results of the 2010 election "

My observation too.

Had Chicken smacked the law down and sent it back to Congress for rework as a tax, it would have died due to the Peoples' most recent actions.

Roberts' line of argument here is specious. He needs to be called out on it.

We're dealing with checker players .....They don't understand the sacrifice of a pawn to win the game. Mark my word something larger is in play in the near future.

During church today..at the alter taking communion...it hit me how often God has answered a prayer, not the way I'd asked, but it a convoluted round the barn, down the lane and through the woods kind of way.

If He'd done it my way, it may have met needs for a while, but by doing it HIS way much more was accomplished.So I have learned to let go and let God.

Just as I trust in God's will for my life, I will trust that for whatever reason, Roberts made a convoluted decision because he knew another matter needed attention and would need this sacrificial pawn to achieve it. It's not like he didn't tell us how to solve the problem....VOTE THE BASTARDS OUT!

Did the judge just ask the US to divide the baby. Will the true mother of the child come forward? Will the country be saved?

But Scalia’s scathing dissent was used up on Monday with the AZ decision.

Kagan wasn't a participant in the AZ decision. Is this significant?

I just started looking for Rove’s dicta on the ruling. Haven’t found anything yet.

That the Times sees this as a greater priority than The Won’s birth certificate is all any one needs to know about the partisan Fourth Estate in America.

That the owners of the Times feel secure in their treason is the fault of We the People.

A "conservative" chief justice breaks on the most important issue facing the country after blackmail relating to irregular adoptions, outing as gay or similar trivial matters, yet a socialist President who isn't even eligible for office not only continues his abhorrent policies, but successfully blackmails the chief justice over these trifles.

Roberts is a weak, other-directed, scared rabbit, afraid-of-his-shadow, obsessed with his reputation conformist who is, and always has been, terrified of being out of step with the dominant forces in society. He is no match for street thugs like Obama or Clinton who have no reservations about anything so long as it doesn't get them impeached.

We need more Scalias who will, like the socialist justices, wear their fiercely-held politics on their sleeves, and no more titular conservatives who vainly think filling pages with obiter dicta, i.e. commerce clause, will influence anyone.

They for the most part are pretty obscure to the general public away from the court; imagine what they’d face having the Occupy crowd down their throats all the time.

Guess we’ll never know.

so what about patriots protesting the idiotic decision ? why not?
