The following is a guest post by Joseph Hall. *** The Supreme Court’s Constitution Defectors The US Supreme Court is considered to be a bastion of freedom by overseeing the equitable dispensing of opinions in critical matters of law. Also known as the court of last resort, the Supreme Court seeks to determine the...
Here’s some shocking news – President Obama’s Department of Justice has decided that Obama’s recess appointments, that occurred when the Senate was not in recess, were constitutional. The Department of Justice offered a defense Thursday for President Obama’s controversial decision to make several recess appointments while Congress was holding pro forma sessions. In a...
Doug Ross has a little thought experiment for the progressives who are cheering President Obama’s shredding of the constitution. What comes around goes around. Consider the following hypothetical situation: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has retired and a seat on the Supreme Court is open. Late one night, President Santorum declares the Senate in recess. He appoints...
President Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” power grab continues. He’s going ahead and creating a summer youth jobs program that was previously rejected by Congress. The man thinks he’s a king. “America’s young people face record unemployment, and we need to do everything we can to make sure they’ve got the opportunity to earn the...
Every time President Obama skirts Congress liberals come to his defense, saying “Bush did it.” In some instances they may be right, but should be just as outraged with Obama overstepping his authority as they were with Bush. But when it comes to his appointments to the NLRB and CFPB, they shouldn’t even bother...
President Obama quietly signed a defense bill which will allow the federal government to detain Americans without trial. Even though the administration pushed for the provision, he basically promised not to use that power. Some believe there is nothing to worry about. The Washington Times weighed in and they basically say we should all relax. This...
I received an email from a USAF Gulf War veteran asking that I spread the word about his Pocket Constitution business. I told him I’d be happy to do so. He’s not looking for handouts, he just wants people to know they can buy Pocket Constitutions from his website. Everybody talks about the Constitution,...
No matter what the polls say I believe that the American people still believe in freedom.
Franklin D. Roosevelt threw longstanding tradition to the wind, and refused to do what those became before him did and peacefully step aside. It took a constitutional amendment to make sure it never happened again. Now Joe Scarborough, MSNBC’s token Republican is whining about it, to his favorite former president, Bill Clinton. NewsBusters picked...
I don’t think the liberal moderators of the GOP debate tonight brought this up. President Obama actually instructed his jobs council to “scour” a report in order to find ways they can spend money on stimulus without Congressional authorization. Real Clear Politics has the video, here’s the quote: “Scour this report, identify all those...
At the dawn of the Republic our first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton issued several reports which in many ways set the tone and pointed the way for the development of America in the economic sphere.
Few things induce a headache more than reading the legal language in legislation, or proposed legislation. To most people it’s mumbo-jumbo that isn’t what one would consider to be light reading. Thankfully, a few people have taken the time to read President Obama’s jobs bill, and found a provision that would strip states of...
President Obama doesn’t hold the constitution or the separation of powers in very high regard. If he did he wouldn’t be acting like a dictator. The National Journal reported that he basically told Congress to p*ss off! President Obama is either fed up with Congress or he’s testing his own administration’s mettle. Or both....
I guess the reports of Obama’s rapidly crumbling base of support aren’t exaggerated afterall. In a story from USnews.com, twelve Senate Democrats, along with 45 Republicans, have signed a letter declaring their opposition to the Obama-backed U.N. Arms Trade Treaty. According to the report, these otherwise disparate groups of legislators are equally concerned ”that domestic manufacture, possession,...
