Federal appeals court in NY rules against ACORN By TOM HAYS (AP) – 1 hour ago NEW YORK — A federal appeals court on Friday threw out a decision that had barred Congress from withholding funds from ACORN, the activist group driven to ruin by scandal and financial woes. The ruling by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan reversed a decision by a district court judge in Brooklyn that found Congress had violated the group's rights by punishing it without a trial. Congres ...

The divided three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the so- ...

Really? You mean the courts are finally going to start doing their job? A federal appeals court said Friday that President Obama overstepped his authority with a series of recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. The case may wind up in the Supreme Court and determine how far the president can go in appointing people whose nominations would be filibustered in the Senate. The result could affect the standing of other Obama appointees, such as the head of the president's ...

A federal appeals court refused Tuesday to lift a temporary hold on President Obama's executive action that could shield as many as 5 million immigrants illegally living in the U.S. from deportation. The U.S. Justice Department had asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse a Texas judge who agreed to temporarily block the president's plan in February, after 26 states filed a lawsuit alleging Obama's action was unconstitutional. But two out of three judges on a c ...

PHILADELPHIA -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania today praised an appeals court decision striking down a Pennsylvania law requiring private and public school students to begin each school day by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or singing the national anthem. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that law violated the First Amendment rights of students and private schools ...

Excerpt from the Washington Post: "The Border Patrol cannot confiscate or download every laptop or electronic device brought into the U.S., a federal appeals court said, ruling that people have an expectation their data are private and that the government must have "reasonable suspicion" before it starts to snoop. In a broad ruling Friday, the court also said merely putting password protection on information is not enough to trigger the government's "reasonable suspicion" to conduct a mor ...

Guess somebody's pretty upset over it. Too bad. I hope the Supreme Court also upholds it, but I'm tired of Obama trying to change laws. He has no right to make law, change the law, or to pick and choose which laws to enforce, jsut like the the former AG had done. Hopefully, he won't challenge it but I don't think his ego will just let it go. ______________________________ President Barack Obama's executive action to shield millions of undocumented immigrant ...

There are 47 counties in the United States that are projected to have no insurer participating in the Affordable Care Act exchanges in 2018, according to a report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Insurers such as Anthem and Aetna have announced this year that they are planning exits from the marketplace, which will leave some areas with no options. The agency looked at health insurer announcements through June 9 and created a map to show which counties will have no Obam ...

Progressive push-back against SCOTUS campaign finance decision is a sight to behold. The New York law firm prominently visible in the ad wisely chose their notoroius spokesperson to push for environmental law reform while attorneys quietly prosecute personal injury claims in the background. They managed to do this with 15-second cost effectiveness and hit the ground running with a near instantaneous response to the birth of corporate freedom of speech. Holy ...

The concept of a federal union of states isn't difficult to grasp. Here was the situation at the founding of our country: 1. No state could exist for long as an independent entity. Powerful forces in Europe would ensure that the individual states would be subverted to their own purposes. 2. If states must band together to form a nation, they can only do so if they agree to surrender certain prerogatives to the federation of states - specifically, matters which impact all ...

Last night the White House issued a statement blasting the decision: Once again, a single district judge — this time in San Francisco — has ignored Federal immigration law to set a new immigration policy for the entire country. This decision occurred in the same sanctuary city that released the 5-time deported illegal immigrant who gunned down innocent Kate Steinle in her father’s arms. San Francisco, and cities like it, are putting the well-being of criminal aliens before the safety of ...

Jesus came to the world at a time when the popular Jewish understanding of "the Messiah" was as One who would intervene (supernaturally) in the governing affairs of men, overthrow the Roman overlords and establish God's Kingdom on earth. In some ways, the Jews were expecting their version of the Muslim caliphate. But the legions of God's angels weren't coming to rescue the Jews and establish a divine government. Instead, Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world."&n ...

Gist is private utility companies (70% of us buy from private) tend to charge too much, to shave services to enhance profits (among other things, tending to be slower to restore power after outages and to be unwilling to bury power lines), to pay their executives too much, and to be unwilling to advance to new energy sources. Publicly owned power tends to be cheaper and more responsive in all ways, and overall far more interested in investing in change to meet future needs now. But, altho ...

Before the decision even comes down from the Supreme Court on Obama's health care law I have to admit I have no confidence in them. It's all political. Giving the election to bush over Gore and allowing corporations to fund elections makes me think the court is not bipartisan. When the highest court in the land is partisan I have no hope. I feel sad for our country. Do you trust them? ...
