Thank You. This is going to be an interesting week. I cannot find another word besides interesting to remain on the forum.

And in every case they will come down on the side of the left. The fix is in, folks. It’s a kangaroo court.

After last years ruling on Obamacare, I no longer have any hope that SCOTUS will do the right thing. On any ruling....

I’m not making any bets, since I no longer trust our courts.

I can’t believe we’re still fighting reverse discrimination. That’s the only one I feel they may decide correctly on, “feel” being the operative word, as I have no well-informed analysis to back up my hunch. I just think diversity is overworked these days and is not a strong enough interest to outweigh fairness to the individual.

The constitutional presumption is God-given rights to individuals of life, liberty, and pursuits of happiness. The people and states via the CONSTITUTION created a central (federal) government as a necessary evil and DELEGATED CERTAIN, LIMITED, ENUMERATED powers to that government. As confirmed in the 10th amendment, any powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are preserved to the states and the people.

These are battles for things rightly belonging to the states and individuals not the federal government. The only involvement SCOTUS should have is to declare these a states' issue and remand back to the states accordingly.

As was once penned by Lincoln in the Gettysburg address, "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." The difference in this war is the right is FOR states' rights and individual freedom AGAINST the coercion and tyranny of a rogue federal government with ever increasing unconstitutional powers.

May God by his mercy and grace grant that "this nation, under God have a new birth of freedom", not just politically, in right decisions here by decentralizing federal government power, but more importantly, spiritually among the American people. May God once again save and bless America.

Thanks BuckeyeTexan - keep us posted.

We all have watched SCOTUS work hard
to estroy America by ignoring
that to which they swore Allegience.

[Vaquero]

With a rogue Chief Justice, God help us all.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I’m sure Roberts will let us down again.

Supreme Court to Consider Obama Recess Appointments

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide the scope of a president's constitutional authority to make recess appointments, a power that Democratic and Republican administrations have used for decades to install nominees without Senate confirmation.

The justices agreed to consider an appeal by the Obama administration, which is seeking to overturn a lower-court ruling that invalidated President Barack Obama's use of recess appointments to fill vacancies at the National Labor Relations Board. That ruling threatened the legitimacy of hundreds of actions the labor board has taken since the president used the recess power to install three new board members on Jan. 4, 2012.

We’re going to find a whole bunch of brand new socons around these parts after this week.

[Cheerio]

This is going to be heard in a day or two before they recess for the summer?

SCOTUS remands Fisher v. University of Texas back to the appeals court. So no ruling on affirmative action. This case is still alive and will likely return to SCOTUS.

[BuckeyeTexan]

No decisions today on Shelby County v. Holder, Hollingsworth v. Perry, or United States v. Windsor. Those will likely be on Tuesday or Wednesday.
