This Times editorial does a good job of reasoning why this moratorium is necessary. ================================ Editorial A New, and Necessary, Moratorium Published: July 13, 2010 Despite legal challenges from industry, complaints from local politicians and bad rulings from unsympathetic judges, the Obama administration has rightly chosen to reaffirm its decision in May to suspend deep-water dr ...

Phoenix, Arizona - A federal judge on Wednesday blocked key parts of Arizona’s controversial immigration law, one day prior to law’s start date. Included in the sections to be blocked are powers given to police which opponents of the bill state would target persons of Hispanic heritage regardless of their legal status. The ruling is meant to last until a final ruling is made on the United States v. Arizona case, which will determine the final fate of the law. In the court docum ...

It's going to a committee. Why? Do they really need to study this bill? It's very simple. Why this bill should become law: The bill would give the VA Secretary greater authority to fire employees and remove them from SES service due to poor performance in the same manner a Member of Congress can remove a member of their staff. The bill would require the VA Secretary to give the Senate and House Veterans’ Affairs Committees notice of removal within 30 days of removing an indi ...

Washington (AFP) - In a symbolic rebuke to US President Barack Obama's unilateral action on immigration, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted Thursday to block his plan to shield millions of people from deportation. The bill, which passed 219-197 along party lines, was introduced by conservatives furious with what they consider Obama's abuse of power when he announced his executive order last month. But it is unlikely to reach the floor of the Senate, where Obama's ...

GOP Rebuffs Dem Concession On Financial Reform Brian Beutler | April 18, 2010, 5:12PM Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Senate Republicans say they're prepared to work constructively with Democrats on a consensus financial reform bill. But this weekend, after the White House offered up a key substantive concession, they swatted President Obama's hand away in a fashion that was all too reminiscent of their strategy of opposition to health care reform. "We ought to g ...

Strikes against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., C ...

Judge Napolitano tells it like it is! This is must-see video. Some of us have been posting these things here, only to be met with ad hominem attacks.

It's sad. The hate coming from Franken and Whitehouse is disgusting. All the Dems are asking questions that can't be answered yes or no but don't want an explanation. Others like Franken and Whitehouse don't want a judge who follows the rule of law or the Constitution,they want a political judge and they want him to push to change law, which, as Judge Gorsuch stated over and over again "That's not my job. That's your job" (pointing out that he m ...
