If there was anyone who actually believed President Obama when he said he wouldn’t raise taxes on families making less than $250,000, the Supreme Court has set the record straight. Whether you agree or not with the Supreme Court’s holding, failure to buy insurance under the Obamacare mandate will result in a tax, not a [...]

One day in grammar school, the nun told us that we would have a test the following day. Anyone who couldn’t recite a particular spelling rule had to write it 50 times. Despite having studied all the spelling rules the night before, the next day I flubbed mine. So, I went home and wrote the [...]

The Supreme Court has started hearing oral arguments this week on the constitutionality of ObamaCare. Of course I’m hoping that the whole thing will be thrown out on constitutional grounds, particularly because, although Constitutional Law was not my favorite course in law school, I still can’t figure out how the federal government can force us [...]

Well, we won’t be seeing Supreme Court Justice Alito at the next State of the Union address – not after the President insulted the Supremes at the last one.

This had to be one of the screwiest news items I’ve read in a very long time. There’s a lot about this story I don’t get. Elena Kagan, Solicitor General and former Dean of Harvard Law School, has been nominated by President Obama to fill the seat on the U.S. Supreme Court previously occupied by [...]
