DOMA unconstitutional says Second Circuit. sm

Submit a 3-page single-spaced letter by noon Thursday? Did the 5th Circuit just give the DOJ a homework assignment? Really? Well, no one can say that the government (and judges) isn't entertaining at times. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504564_162-57408827-504564/appeals-court-fires-back-at-obamas-comments-on-health-care-case/ Appeals court fires back at Obama's comments on health care case (CBS News) In the escalating battle between the administratio ...

A huge step in the right direction. The legal challenge to Doma was brought by New York resident Edith Windsor, 83. She was handed a tax bill of $363,000 (£236,000) when she inherited the estate of her spouse Thea Speyer - a levy she would not have had to pay if she had been married to a man. "Doma writes inequality into the entire United States Code," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in Wednesday's ruling. "Under Doma, same-sex married couples have their lives burdened, ...

The law, which was originally passed in 2011, requires voters to show a photo ID before voting — such as a driver’s license or a concealed handgun license. For Texas voters, there are fewer options than in other states. ...

Read the over 1900-page HR Bill: The top 5 are in there: 1) Govt-funded abortion.2) Govt-run insurance.3) Higher taxes.4) Death panels will be back.5) $500 billion in Medicare cuts. That's socialism at the very least, and income redistribution. That is unconstitutional. Of course, they don't have the same health care that they're counting on subjecting on us. For all the "pro-choice" people, this doesn't sound like ...

Big, big decision. Note, this at the Federal District Court level. A dem.

These are two articles from the Washington Times. Links are there for both since I didn't post the whole article. BREAKING: Federal judge finds Obama amnesty is unconstitutional A federal judge has found parts of President Obama’s new deportation amnesty to be unconstitutional, issuing a scathing memo Tuesday accusing him of usurping Congress’s power to make laws, and dismantling most of the White House’s legal reasoning for circumventing Congress. Judge Arthur J. Schwa ...

As only a handful of constitutional conservatives, like Ted Cruz , Mike Lee , Rand Paul , argue for the full repeal of Obamacare, something that was promised by all Republicans for seven years, and as Democrats have no answers for disastrous Obamacare other than more government control — what destroyed the health insurance marketplace in America in the first place and caused prices and deductibles to unnecessarily skyrocket — we should be reminded that ALL involvement of the federal governme ...

Mark Levin is not my favorite talk show host. However, as an attorney well-versed on constitutional matters, I consider him an expert in that area. Today he devoted almost his entire three-hour show to discussing how Trump's EO is NOT "unconstitutional." The left has latched onto "unconstitutional" and has their rabid army of bots repeating the mantra over and over, while most of them have no clue what is actually IN our constitution. Levin demonstrated this several ...
