Snow is correct that the Fed is subject to audit, although this is evidently a news bulletin for Dr. Paul and TCB.
The attitude that health care should not be a right is backward and barbaric, and, incidentally, economically harmful to the United States.
And the prehensile and mendacious Ben Stein is a complete knob.

Congress indeed will, and since it also has a duty to consider Constitutionality, if in its determination "general welfare" gives them the power to provide health coverage, they will. And the President will assess the Constitutionality, and will agree and sign the bill into law.
And Ron Paul can gnash his teeth while we all enjoy the right to healthcare.

DON SURBER IS NUTS
Don Surber:
47% of the American people are shut out as President Obama is the most graceless president we have had since Richard Nixon. In fact, Nixon is his role model as Obama embraces cronyism, is funded through nefarious means and has an enemies list. The one difference is that where Nixon’s dismissal of democracy stemmed from paranoia, Obama’s stems from a sense of entitlement as he acts as if he were descended from kings in Africa to rule — not govern — the United States.

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is a multinational aerospace manufacturer, global security and advanced technology company formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed with Martin Marietta. It is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Lockheed Martin employs 146,000 people worldwide. Robert J. Stevens is the current Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.
Lockheed Martin is the world's largest defense contractor by revenue.[1] As of 2005[update], 95% of Lockheed Martin's revenues came from the United States Department of Defense, other U.S. federal government agencies, and foreign military customers.
A team led by prime contractor Lockheed Martin won the 2006 Collier Trophy for the development of the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.

No, of course they won't consider the DoI, but it's clearly part of our nation's fundamental ideals (as stated, any way, if not practiced).
I'm making an argument mostly for the wingers and libertarians who think somehow it's un-American. I doubt SCOTUS would even hear a challenge, 'cept maybe about abortion funding (by either side). And they will then decide THAT narrow issue, not the overall entitlement.

Huffington Post | Katherine Goldstein | July 16, 2009 at 10:58 AM
This week, the Obama administration approved the sale of timber in a roadless national forest in Alaska. The Tongass National Forest is a 17 million acre temperate rain forest in southeast Alaska, which is home to both endangered species and native Alaskan tribes. It is the largest temperate rain forest in the United States.

Pukes and the media sure are working hard to flush that down the memory hole...
Dahlia Lithwick (who was on Rachel's show last night) has a piece in Slate making the point that the Dems have lost the golden opportunity to point out the errors of the Robolito court.

that wasnt what this was about. It was about getting her on the court.
they did a bit of that on the first day. but the goal was to get her across the finish line.
any gooper embarrassment was dessert.
the sad thing to me is that we all are expected to accept that judges come with no bias and no ideology, when that clearly they do and they act on it.
"Largest deficit in the history of the Republic."

Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo stole from 'oo...
Quit discriminating against white men!!
So can anything. But not with the wall to wall cable coverage connected with these hearings which, by default, is given to the repuke claptrap.

The funny part is after watching 10 minutes or 1 hour, Sotomayor looks a lot more judicial than her Repuke inquisitors look Senatorial.
res ipsa loquitur : It's the preening at these hearings that's so hard to take.
They're always like that...
Who do the Jayuff Sayshuns and Tom Coburns of the world thing they are? Blech.
"I'm a fucking Unites States Goddam Senator, bitch!"
"Largest deficit in the history of the Republic."
the republic started in 1950?
cause there were these world wars . . .

George Johnston
George Johnston Johnson is correct.
Al Gore, Jr.'s daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff, is reportedly eyeing the New York House seat expected to be vacated by Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) so that she can challenge Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY).
Thumper
Oh, very nice... Maloney has a bit of an uphill battle, but it would be meet and right to hold Gillibrand's feet to the fire...

the hide-the-ideology game is why we have so many former judges as appointees.
it is how the goopers have hidden all the ideologues. they leave gooper party service or DOJ and get whitewashed for a few years, then return as judges to do party ideological work once they are on a court.
the sad thing to me is that we all are expected to accept that judges come with no bias and no ideology, when that clearly they do and they act on it.

The sad thing to me is that we don't go back to the pre-Potter Stewart expectation that judicial nominees don't answer questions like these. Hell, she hasn't, nor should she.
This is kabuki; this is mindless ritual.
Small planet! I was checking my e-mail previous to surfing here, and there was the Ben Stein ad to the right of my Inbox... (comcast posts ads inside your e-mail account)... I was thinking JUST THE SAME THINGS...
84% of the increased federal spending this fiscal year was on Bush's watch.
Again, what good would it do? You can point the errors out or you can correct them.
By Cubans...
Certified Mutant Enemy
Well, to be fair, Cuba IS to the south....
if i were a senator, Id just take 3 or 4 important decisions written by the judge and ask her to tell me why she ruled in that particular way.

But it's Obama's economy now!!!!!!
CME got to my comment before I did!
that wasnt what this was about. It was about getting her on the court.
It was also about setting the stage for other SCOTUS appointments. Fellating Robolito as many of the Dems did helps the other side instead of their own.
George Johnston Johnson is correct.
Roadmaster, Freewheelin'

Roadmaster Johnson is right about George Johnston Johnson being right.
So, I feel a little like the kid who didn't get picked for the dodgeball team, today.
But it's Obama's economy now!!!!!!

Funny how it was Clinton's economy for all 8 Bush years, but after 6 months, it's Obama's....
Euph,
What is the date of that chart? Is it current?
2006
"the republic started in 1950?
cause there were these world wars . . ."
Come on. The goalposts need to shift when a Democrat is running the show.
Under Bush, share of GDP was the goalpost. Now it's nominal dollars.
This is kabuki; this is mindless ritual.
It is a chance for Jayuff Sayshuns to demonstrate how utterly serious he is!
In other words, yes, kabuki.
"did you fail to show the courage" required of a judge in Ricci by issuing a short opinion.

where is courage a requirement of being a judge?
no work for you, JP? don't even sweat it. did they tell you to come back and try again tomorrow?
sessions: it takes courage to legislate from the bench demmit
Were I related Tto Sotomayor, I would grab Sessions by the fucking neck and squeeze until hes started talking Yankee.

Only part of the quote. He said he was not one of those who stand on the sidelines and carp and complain; his job was to fix problems.

We are a land of prideful morons...
"Sixty percent (60%) of voters now trust their own economic judgment more than the president’s."
Her answer about the role of the Court (vis a vis social inequities) could be stated by Earl Warren, actually.
Which is the truly absurd part of this nonsense. As she told Franken, (and now Hatch!): what the court does is not "activism."
It all depends on how you feel about the court's action, not the outcome of the case.
Like Obama said: the people who wrecked the economy now want to call it "Obama's economy." To which he answered: "That's fine, give it to me."

Actually, polls are shifting pretty quickly on that, as people are sheepishly following the media narrative now in play.

Afternoon, all.
Apologies for the repeat blogwhore, but over at Box Office, I'm terribly amused by a new film studio that only makes direct to video rip-offs of big genre hits. Among their most recent: Sunday School Musical, Snakes on a Train, The Day the Earth Stopped, and the appalling Transmorphers.

Not much different from what goes on in a lawsuit. I learned long ago not to expect the process to look like the TeeVee ideal (real trials never look like Perry Mason or Law&Order, either!).

As Walt Kelly noted, polls involve the buckshot use of the curved question.
Just a note to mention that the single reason that Judge Sotomayor is a paragon of learned discussion, with a demeanor only second to that of the Queen, is because she was a summa HISTORY major. Her real name, the secret one she received at Princeton is in fact Historymayor. Thus, how Historymayors Will Judge Us All.
WTFDHJS? moments like Butterfield's in Watergate...
Butterfield, in front of the Senate Select Watergate Committee, blurted out something that they did not know about: the existence of the White House oval office taping system.
Like Obama said: the people who wrecked the economy now want to call it "Obama's economy." To which he answered: "That's fine, give it to me."

Some of the Noh plays deal specifically with people driven mad by jealousy, grief, or lust for power. The Lady Aoi play is from this genre, which is why I thought it might work.

This is also why Kurosawa's Ran works so well on so many levels!

GWPDA, I hate to point this out, but being a history major does not guarantee wisdom, intelligence, or a smart approach to policy.

Rmj,
which is a shame. if govt were as sexy and exciting as that WH show that used to be on, and trials more like on L&O, i bet more people would take an interest in politics. perhaps we should try that. we can find the creative teams in hollywood who could fill the 8p Thurs slot with something, cut up from the week's political events. it wouldn't be hard at all.
that's what i hate about seespam. dronedronedronedronedronedronedronedronehummina what? oh, i'm sorry, i was resting my eyes.

Lime Rickey
She did mention being a history major at the hearing yesterday.
Apprentice - apart from apologising for stepping on my fairly carefully crafted and extended joke, you should realise that Judge Sotomayor was a summa cum laude history major, not a sub-C one. There is quite a difference.
"America, unlike other countries, has a unique relationship to the Second Amendment"
-Lindsay Graham, to Sotomayor
Maybe because it's in the US Constitution, not in other countries?
