Posted In: Gerry Connolly, Supreme Court

Congressman Gerry Connolly starts off the 113th Congress with a curious bill. No, it is not about the still looming sequestration, it’s not about transportation, or Dulles Rail, or something about the district he represents. Congressman Connolly has his eyes set on the Supreme Court. His first bill of the new Congress is called Cameras […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: Healthcare, Supreme Court

The dissent in the ObamaCare Tax case was co-authored by Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito, with Justice Kennedy reading the opinion from the bench. Those four Justices join Chief Justice Roberts’s opinion in regards to the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause. Those four also join Roberts in his opinion on Medicaid.

More on the ObamaCare Tax

by Chris Farmer on July 3rd, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Posted In: Healthcare, Supreme Court

Enough with all the nonsense about Chief Justice John Roberts “re-writing” ObamaCare. That accusation is entirely false. Our esteemed Chief Justice is also being called an “activist” because of this erroneous accusation to have rewritten a law. Brilliant conservative judicial restraint is much more accurate here. Anyone who lays claim to slandering our great Chief […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Just Another Tax

by Chris Farmer on June 29th, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Posted In: 2012 elections, Healthcare, Supreme Court

Chief Justice John Roberts got it right. His opinion in what is commonly known as the ObamaCare decision limits the federal government’s reach under the Commerce Clause and under the Necessary and Proper Clause and increases the freedom of the States by telling the federal government for the first time that coercing states through the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Rep. Connolly Trashes The Supreme Court

by Chris Farmer on June 19th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
Posted In: Gerry Connolly, Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has not yet issued its ruling on ObamaCare, but Rep. Gerry Connolly can’t wait to cry foul. In an interview with Politico Connolly makes several mistakes which his party leadership should privately admonish him for. First off he predicts the outcome. Sitting politicians need to be careful going on the record predicting the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Why I Vote Republican for President

by Chris Farmer on June 18th, 2012 at 7:00 PM
Posted In: 2012 elections, Mitt Romney, Presidential Race, Supreme Court

George Will’s column in yesterday’s Post clearly articulated the reason why I have and always will vote for a Republican for president. I have cast spilt ballots at the local level but things are different at the federal level. To sum up, I can’t vote for the federal judiciary including The Supreme Court. But I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Perry v. Obama

by Chris Farmer on July 15th, 2011 at 11:15 AM
Posted In: National politics, Supreme Court

Last week the Supreme Court got it right when they denied the stay of execution of Humberto Leal Garcia, who raped and brutally murdered a 16 year old in Texas. This Per Curiam, from the court, decision really came down to a 5-4 vote. President Obama’s two nominees to the High Court voted in the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
