Perhaps the worst constitutional defense of Obamacare you will ever read
Now that the Supreme Court has officially taken up the question of Obamacare, we are in store for even more legal analyses attempting to predict which way the justices will rule, or argue which way they ought to rule. A quick prediction of my own: Few, if any, of these analyses will be as worthless […]
Should Illegal Aliens Be Represented in Congress? Louisiana Says No
The state of Louisiana has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the inclusion of illegal aliens in the 2010 census count on which seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned among the states.

Envelope Please: Turkey of the Year is Michael Moore
This year, we continue a cherished Thanksgiving tradition at Ringside Politics by bestowing our annual “Turkey of the Year” award to the most deserving politician or media personality. This is always a very spirited competition because there are so many turkeys to consider. Previous winners have included former House Speaker Nancy “Botox Buffoon” Pelosi and […]
PERRY: Eric Holder must go
Ever since the Department of Justice’s gun-running operation known as Fast and Furious became public, the Obama administration’s response has been slow and infuriating. Of particular concern is Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s lack of candor concerning what he knew and when he knew it. This is not a typical case of bureaucratic bungling. […]

That these same loan guarantees were refused by the Bush Energy […]

Obama ‘Actively’ Made Supercommittee’s Job ‘More Difficult,’ Toomey Says
(CNSNews.com) – Not only did President Barack Obama refuse to help the supercommittee as it attempted to reach an agreement on reducing the federal budget deficit — the president complicated things for the committee, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said on Tuesday. “The president actively made our jobs more difficult,” Toomey told Fox & Friends. “He […]
Newt Gingrich was a lobbyist, plain and simple
When Newt Gingrich says he never lobbied, he’s not telling the truth. When he was a paid consultant for the drug-industry’s lobby group, Gingrich worked hard to persuade Republican congressmen to vote for the Medicare drug subsidy that the industry favored. To deny Gingrich was a lobbyist requires an Obama-like word parsing over who is […]
