Judge Napilitano (sp?)claimed on Fox the other day that these bailouts are unconstitutional since Congress can only spend money for “the general interest”.

If he is right, why is this not being attacked in the courts? The Libs do this all the time. And don’t tell me it’s because they have the ACLU. There have some Conservative lawyers that would do this pro bono - or at severe discounts that could be paid for with fundraisers.

Whether they are unconstitutional would depend on the judges involved. The unions and automakers would argue that preserving a very large number of jobs is in “the general interest”.

Yes. And, further, expenditures from the TARP funds are limited, specifically, to financial institutions. Auto companies do not qualify.

Because we don’t have a George Soros. People like Rush. Sean, Savage and Levin (although I love listening to them) don’t put up a dime to help us out.

Some VERY rich lady bought Rush’s letter from Harry Reid.

Where is our George Soros?
