Today, the Supreme Court has sided with an Idaho couple in Sackett v. EPA, a private property rights case, ruling they have the right to go to court to challenge an Environmental Protection Agency policy that blocked construction of their new home and threatened fines of more than $30,000 a day.

As much as the lying mitt sucks there is no way he can suck as bad as the real marxist in office.
If the rats were in our shoes i would be trolling them to vote nader/3rd party to help keep a rat out.If we are going
to have a fake conservative, it should darn well be our fake conservative.
Maybe we can draft Allen West to replace whatever loser wins the primary.
Has not won anything yet except his day in court.
If you're pinning your hopes on a Romney or a Santorum to maintain the balance of power on the SCOTUS, well... you're just postponing the inevitable.
The country is in real trouble. Business-as-usual is not going to cut it any more.
I’ll give you the fact that he’s ‘better’ than obama, but it’s really a case of being starved or shot. Either way we are dead meat as a country. One is just a slower, more agonizing death.
Id just as soon get it over with and start over. Not that I WANT a disaster mind you, but either way we are going to get one.

I’m not aware of Romney appointing any FEDERAL judges, are you?
I don’t know and frankly couldn’t care less but, I wonder if just maybe he decided to keep the status quo in the Mass. judiciary so the Dems couldn’t use that against him come re-election time. Hmm?
Sheesh. Just forget about it. Let’s give the Marxist four more years, this time with no thoughts of re-electability holding him back. Yeah, that’ll teach the Republican Establishment a thing or two. It’s their fault, not ours, if the country goes to hell with Obama at the helm.
This is, hands down. the poorest attempt I have ever seen at trying to duck the issue.
The first sentence alone should embarrass you.
Why do have the feeling that this decision will be immediately and consumatetly ignored by Holder at DOJ and Obama’s czars at EPA?
A Pyrrhic victory at best.
Right, so let's all go vote third party -- or better yet, let's stay home if Mittens is the nominee.
The only thing I have my hopes pinned to is divine intervention. God can move mountains but you better bring a shovel. So I'll be voting against Obama regardless of who is the nominee.
I’m not “ducking” anything. I don’t need to waste any time looking at Willard’s history to know that he is NOT a conservative. The fact that he was elected governor of Massachusetts was enough to prove that.
Two other things I know: Willard is not a f*cking Marxist like Obama, and voting for some third-party conservative no-chance won’t do jack sh*t to stop Obama and his anti-America agenda.
Keep fighting the good fight, newsgeezer. I've got your back.
Thanks. Back atcha, brother.
Absolutely stunning logic. And deep, deep thought to achieve it.
Can I interview you sometime for my book? I’m writing one on the lack of critical thought in society and the damage it does; and you are the exact kind of person my book refers to. I’m quite serious.
He doesn’t know/or care who Romney appoints, and you have his back?
OK.
He knows that the mission objective is to send Obama packing. And yes, I have his back.
If that mission is to install one liberal who will destroy America one way over another liberal destroying it in a different way, then yes. That does appear to be the mission these excuses for voting Romney will likely accomplish that.
Amazing how quickly people forget JR’s ‘no Romney no way no how’ edict for his site.
Amazing how little respect many of it’s users have for him and his clear statements. I cannot IMAGINE how the ‘conservative movement’ ever got so screwed up.
I’d point out his advisor telling the world that his conservatism extends as far as the primary.
No.
I’m a voter, not a hostage.
Why do we now have to work so damn hard to STOP a Romney nomination when the GOP-E, KNEW that Masscare was a FATAL DISQUALIFICATION for the nomination in the first place?
Now Romney’s got Coulter, Drudge, Rove, and dozens of others drooling on his kneecaps this late in the process. Millions of dollars and millions of volunteer hours will have been wasted because somebody couldn’t talk sense to this guy THE DAY MASSCARE PASSED THE MASSSACHUSETTS SENATE!!
All it would have taken was, “Mitt, nice work, but you know you can’t be the nominee, right? You know that was the price, right?”
Nope, like Dole, like McCain, he was next in line.
So, yeah. The GOP picked their candidate over a year ago, and they are PISSED we aren’t going along with it. Peggy Noonan wrote as much about a month ago.
There WAS a nominee. We changed that at the grass roots, but at what point is this party going to get a clue in to the idea that it is time to FINALLY give a conservative a shot at it.
Sorry, but its guys like you that are trying to hang the future of the country on guys like me who WILL NOT STAY ON THE RESERVATION when I WASN’T THE GUY WHO LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Nope, if you get Obama. Do. Not. Blame. Me. You can blame the Cardinals in the GOP college that sent the white smoke up the chimney on this fraud from before the first primary. Romney was a presumption. You are trying to perpetrate that presumption.
For me, I think Gingrich SHOULD stay in. Between Santorum and Gingrich, they should pull every free-thinking, liberty-cherishing conservative left in the party and when they go to broker the convention, they can be a ticket and send Romney back to the People’s Republic of Massachusetts.
So SICK of the lectures about another four years of Obama.
Can you IMAGINE if McCain had actually won? I’m glad this idiot had to pull the scabs off of all the banks, the CME, ratings agencies, Fannie, Freddie, and Sallie. The D’s created this in the first place during Rubin/Clinton - LET THEM OWN IT!
Obama went so much better than owning the economy. He assaulted the church, bilked taxpayers out of billions, destroyed the commodities market with Corzine, etc.
If we win, let it be a conservative, or let the idiot Obama completely destroy the country. We apparently aren’t smart enough to learn from the last 100 years worth of mistakes. Before its over, I’ll be dead, or we’ll be chasing liberals down in the streets with weapons.
I’d rather not see it come to that, but if Romney gets the nod, Obama wins by default. “Thanks for the idea for Obamacare, Mitt, I couldn’t have done it without you!” And that’s it. That’s the election.
So please, peddle the ‘Obama is going to be your fault’ among McConnell, Cantor, and the rest of the college of Cardinals that picked that charlatan in the first place.
I’m not buying it, and neither should any sentient being still left in the conservative caucus.
Moreover, IF you vote for Romney, you are now personally responsible for what he’s about to perpetrate, which is a half-hearted attempt at repealing Obamacare, (which was his idea), and a temporary liberal lovefest from the press when he gives up and learns to love it.
He’ll bask in the love from the MSM, the narcissist that he is, until he needs them again, and like every other DC Republican, he’ll be shocked to find the press has turned on him.
You want me to get behind Etch-A-Sketch?
A small step.

“The Court bases its decision on statutory grounds, ruling that the property owners are entitled to judicial review of their case under the Administrative Procedure Act. It therefore did not reach the issue of whether such review is also required by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, which states that the government may not deprive individuals of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The scope of the decision is therefore limited. And, as Justice Alito goes on to explain, “the combination of the uncertain reach of the Clean Water Act and the draconian penalties imposed for the sort of violations alleged in this case still leaves most property owners with little practical alternative but to dance to the EPA’s tune.” He urges Congress to clarify the scope of the CWA so that property owners will at least have a clearer indication of the scope of EPA authority over their land. Despite these limitations, the decision is a significant victory for property rights, and a rare case of unanimity on an important property rights issue.”
