Saturday Links – (on Sunday)
It was a busy week for bloggers. We had a sitting attorney General held in contempt of Congress. We had two strange rulings from the Supreme Court, the usual usurpations of power by the Great O, with regard to executive order and selective enforcement of the law.
All in all, even the wins were pointless. Holder's contempt will go nowhere because of executive corruption/cover. SB1070 is effectively toothless because of the Obama government's refusal to uphold the law and indeed do the opposite by mandating that ICE not cooperate with local authorities - in Arizona.
Yup. I'm angry. Enjoy the links. I didn't find a lot to be cheerful about in any of them. Read the rest of this entry »

Federalist No. 32
In this federalist Hamilton continues to bolster his argument that vesting taxation power in the federal government is not just essential (as in previous essays), but poses no danger to the states. He takes the reader through some fairly complex arguments sprinkling in legal terms like repugnancy (inconsistency) and concepts like a negative pregnant. Whew! Read the rest of this entry »

The Rule Of Law
Imagine playing a game of monopoly in which you own Park Place and Boardwalk and your sister owns New York Ave., Tennessee Ave., and St. James Place. Now imagine your sister’s boyfriend is in charge of enforcing the rules of the game. Things are going along well and you build hotels on the blue streets after mortgaging your railroads and some other properties to raise the cash. Your sister, likewise has hotels on her orange streets. You roll the dice and land on Tennessee Ave. You mortgage some more property to pay the rent. But, you’re in luck, on the next roll your sister lands on Broadway! Not so fast. Your sister’s boyfriend (a hulk-hogan look-alike) declares a moratorium on rent - she doesn’t have to pay.
How long would you continue to play the game? Read the rest of this entry »
