The Washington Blade's Chris Johnson reports:

The laws against beastiality are just as “unconstitutional” as laws against homosexuality. Are we going to go there, or are people going to wake up and reign this pack of dictators in before then?
"...government of the people, by the people, for the people..." my ass.
already in session.
Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.... Psalm 119:89
Oh my Dear Lord, Jesus!
I think I don’t even know what to say, Laz :S
Soooo....you have no factual evidence for the comment?
Want to share this scripture that Pastor John W. Hill from voiceoffreedomtvministry.org shared with me yesterday concerning our govt leaders and judges.... interesting..
Micah Ch:7
3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh for gifts, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
Guess you can insert the modern day players in the above scripture.
I have to disagree with you on that. I realize I am probably in the minority here, but I am beginning to appreciate more and more what Roberts has done. While I abhor judicial activism (and this is definitely a case of judicial activism), I am grateful that Roberts was able to pull Kennedy, Breyer and Kagan into the same camp with him, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia. Think about that. Seven out of nine Supreme Court Justices just ruled that Obamacare is not constitutional under the commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause.
Take note here, the Roberts court did NOT say that this ObamaTax was constitutional. In fact, they offered no opinion on its constitutionality, nor should they have since the tax has not yet taken effect.
Once it does, I can assure you that it will find its way back to the Supreme Court at which time Roberts will be first in line to rule against it. And best of all, a strong precedent has been established which substantially weakens the power of the commerce clause.
So for now, the ObamaTax reverts back to the political issue it should be. And the GOP gains of 2010 will be repeated in 2012 now that ObamaTax is back on the ballot.
Just wait until Taxmageddon strikes on 01 JAN 13. The marriage penalty tax comes back.
That’s a real live Doraville doll.
Nuh uh. I live near Doraville. I have never seen her.
IF this is the way it goes, and IF they correct their error, I will once again have hope for America.
But at this time, I Am a Man Without A Country.
I agree with your perspective. ;-)
I also like this quote from your home page:
“Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one’s government is not necessarily to secure freedom.” -Friedrich von Hayek
Good luck with that.
Someone better come up with a lie in oral argument so Roberts can vote for it.
Arizona v USA, NFIB v Sebellius, Florida v HHS
I saw one that could have been her sister stuffing herself at Paw-Paw’s on Buford Hwy back in the late 80s.
That's what I'm hoping for, but if not, I'm moving to Uruguay.
btw, your tagline is hysterical!
