MADISON — Gov. Scott Walker is pledging to fight the U.S. Supreme Court, vowing that he will not implement the federal health care reform law, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the law is constitutional. Walker said in a statement shortly after Thursday’s court ruling that he hopes that Republicans will be in control of Congress and that the White House after the November elections and that they will repeal the law. “If there is no political remedy from Washington and the law moves forward, it would require the majority of people in Wisconsin to pay more money for...

Ralph Waldo Emerson goes to see Thoreau, who is sitting in jail, and asks him "Henry, what are you doing in there?" to which Thoreau replies "Waldo, the question is what are you doing out there?".

In yet another vote bucking the state's executive office, New Hampshire's Republican controlled-legislature overrode Democrat Gov. John Lynch’s veto of a voter ID bill on Wednesday. New Hampshire is now the latest on a growing list of states to require that voters present photo ID when voting. In New Hampshire, different forms of identification are accepted, or residents have the option of signing an affidavit. The list will be shortened in 2013, and student ID cards and documents more than 5 years old will no longer be accepted. Lynch was opposed to the restrictions. The votes weren't even close, with...

There is perhaps no greater tyranny then when a Justice of our Supreme Court, charged with enforcing our written Constitution, uses their office of public trust to side with and defend domestic enemies who work to seditiously overturn the documented intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was adopted. This is what Justice Roberts is guilty of and will herein be confirmed by the very words of our founding fathers! In upholding Obamacare Justice Roberts relies upon that part of our Constitution which declares: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay...

Chiara Corbella. Rome, Italy, Jun 21, 2012 / 04:01 pm (CNA).- Hundreds of Italians gathered at the Church of St. Francisca Romana in Rome on June 16 for the funeral Mass of Chiara Corbella, a young Catholic woman who died after postponing her cancer treatments in order to protect her unborn child. At 28 years of age, Chiara was happily married to Enrico Petrillo. They had already suffered the loss of two children in recent years who died from birth defects. The couple became popular speakers at pro-life events, in which they shared their testimony about the few minutes...

For those of you who hope to overturn all these huge government power grabs by election this November, name one tyranny in history that was overturned by popular vote. This week the SCOTUS has stamped 'closed' to the Constitution, state's rights, voter's rights... For almost a century the Marxists have been trying to run over the Constitution; this week it is signed, sealed and buried. Once again I call for a Constitutional Convention of states with a view towards secession! The country that used to be called 'The United States of America' will squabble and pettifog over all these issues,...

Those wishing not to comply must pay a tax. Watch the liberals' heads explode.

RoccaCatholic News Service VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI has approved the heroic virtues of U.S. Archbishop Fulton J.

From all of the threads that have been posted on FR about the SCOTUS decision in regards to ObamaCare no one has asked on the quality of the medical care we can expect to receive. Steve Crowder did an expose on the Canadian healthcare system that will give Americans a pretty good idea of what to expect at the link above. But we can also look to the UK NHS (National Health Service) and their quality of medical care care given to those in jolly old England. Please post your favorite NHS nightmare story here.

I just got back from the Supreme Court. It was an interesting experience sitting in the Courtroom as the opinion in the Obamacare case was read. And, by now, if you’re like me, you’ve gotten37 million pre-written press releases from every elected official in Virginia and most nationally either celebrating the individual mandate’s survival, or decrying this as the darkest day in the union’s history. The truth lies, as it usually does with Supreme Court decisions, somewhere in the middle. In my opinion, however, the bulk of the victory lays with those of us on the right. While we may...

As legal scholars study the Supreme Court's decision in the Obamacare case, more and more are concluding that Justice Anthony Kennedy's dissenting opinion, striking down the law in its entirety, was once the majority opinion--and that Chief Justice John Roberts switched his vote at a late stage. If so, it would appear that the Chief Justice may have succumbed to the bullying meted out by President Barack Obama, who attacked the Court in the aftermath of oral arguments in March, when Obamacare seemed headed for certain defeat.

Ok.. here goes A large man walks up and says.. "I am not a thief nor am I stealing your wallet, you can keep it and just let me beat the stuffing out of you as a penalty for not giving it to me instead."

>BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: President Kardashian is on television as we speak. I decided not to JIP President Kardashian. I figure you're angry and depressed enough as it is. He's basically rehashing all of the lies he told about what health care is: how it's not gonna cost you any more, how you get to keep your doctor, how all these people are gonna end up being insured that weren't insured. About that, you know, people are still digging through this thing. The ruling is close to 200 pages. The law itself is 2,700 pages. Yes, he's spiking the football. Of...

In the 1760s, the rallying cry was "No Taxation without Representation." We need a new slogan to combat a government that is secretly taxing us and lying about it. We have to call Obamacare what it really is: The Obama Health Care Tax. This new taxation came from our "representation" in Congress, in cahoots with a tyrannical President. In 2010, we got rid of (a part of) that Congress, but their stealth taxes live on. We defeated (many of) the Dems who gave us Obamacare in 2010. We can and must defeat the rest of them in 2012. What will...

Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.

...He's been called the father of nonviolent struggle. He could be also described as a revolutionary's best friend. Or perhaps, more accurately, as a dictatorship's worst nightmare. Now 84, the American academic has dedicated most of his life to the study of the bold, some might say reckless, idea that nonviolence -- rather than violence -- is the most effective way of overthrowing corrupt, repressive regimes....

Six non-citizens admitted to Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes they are registered voters but should not be allowed to vote, Snipes reported yesterday at a community forum. The non-citizens asked to be removed from the registered voter list. The non-citizens came forward after receiving a letter of inquiry from Snipes’ office. As for the other suspected non-citizens, Snipes said she would “err on the side of caution…and wait for a more reliable list.” Snipes reported the non-citizens’ inclusion on voter registration lists the same day an attorney for the Florida State Association Of Supervisors Of Elections advised elections...
