Maryland Scraps 'Gun Fingerprint' Database as Complete Failure

#1  The mistake they made was they took the cost of enforcement on themselves. CA forces the cost on the gunmaker/seller/buyer, thereby driving them out of business and out of CA.

Progressive tyrants at their finest.

#2  Sigh i'm expecting limits on ammo, I'm prepared.

Fifth Circuit Strikes Down Immigration Program
Posted by: DarthVader || 11/10/2015 08:34 || Comments || Link || [3 views] Top|| File under:

#1  “Today, the Fifth Circuit asserted that the separation of powers remains the law of the land, and the president must follow the rule of law, just like everybody else,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Oh yeah, like the law and a federal circuit court will stop Obumble from just going ahead.

Getting really close to the time to remove this tyrant physically. With a boot in his ass.

#2  Pretty much. "I don't need no stinkn' law" seems to be in vogue among those in the Beltway. (of course, they'll demand all the due process and protections of said if and when their time comes)
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/10/2015 9:14 Comments || Top||

#3  Will the case be re-heard by the full court? Will it be appealed to the Supreme Court? It ain't over 'til it's over, and the fat lady isn't singing.
Posted by: Glenmore || 11/10/2015 9:26 Comments || Top||

#4  Only when the US Supreme Court supports that ruling will a subsequent president understand that he doesn't get to do that.
Posted by: trailing wife || 11/10/2015 9:27 Comments || Top||

#5  The case will only go to the SC if Obama knows he will win.
Posted by: jvalentour || 11/10/2015 9:40 Comments || Top||

#6  And has something he can blackmail Roberts and one or two other sups with.
Posted by: DarthVader || 11/10/2015 9:57 Comments || Top||

#7  No worries. The Republican Congress will bail out Champ. Amnesty for all! Rule of law for none!
Posted by: Iblis || 11/10/2015 11:03 Comments || Top||

#8  And cue the music and blackmail for the supreme court!
Posted by: DarthVader || 11/10/2015 12:31 Comments || Top||

#9  Somehow I fear the fix is in. Roberts has let us down too many times already.
Posted by: Ebbang Uluque6305 || 11/10/2015 13:31 Comments || Top||

#10  We need an entirely new set of supremes.

Government
Federal Bureaucrats Find 'Superhighway' Around Fourth, Fifth Amendments
Posted by: DarthVader || 11/10/2015 11:21 || Comments || Link || [10 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Equal Employment Opportunity Commission officials used a warrantless subpoena on a Texas-based grocery chain that fired an employee who failed a post-maternity leave physical fitness test, demanding the home addresses and Social Security numbers of every company employee.

The EEOC’s action was made possible because officials there used warrantless demands — formally known as “administrative subpoenas” or “civil enforcement demands” — that are rapidly replacing judge-issued warrants as standard procedure for federal bureaucrats on the prowl for information about individuals and every aspect of their lives. Such subpoenas threaten personal privacy and individual liberty at the very least and are almost certainly unconstitutional, legal scholars say.

“The government now has a superhighway to go around the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution,” Tim Lynch, director of the Cato Institute’s project on criminal justice, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.


Long past time for tar and feathers.
And maybe a rope.
And a lamp post.
Posted by: DarthVader || 11/10/2015 11:23 Comments || Top||

#2  One would think that after all the executive abuses over the last 7 years that have involved administrative agencies, that Congress would be eager to reassert itself by reining in those agencies. Sigh.
Posted by: Iblis || 11/10/2015 16:14 Comments || Top||

#3  Until the Republicans have supermajorities in both Houses of Congress, ie. 2/3rds plus oneof each, they won't be able to override presidential vetoes, because the Democratic whips will make sure their people only break ranks when it doesn't matter, like Senator Chuck Shumer on Iran.

#4  Or the 'Trunks' in the states, who are closer to the 'roots', get 3/4th of the state governments. Then they don't have to wait on the RINOs or anyone else in the Beltway.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/10/2015 21:30 Comments || Top||

#5  A Congress made up 1000% of McCains,Bohners and McConnels still would do nothing. To them we are the enemy, not Obama.

Obamacare Medicaid expansion blowing holes in state budgets from massive enrollment

#1  Again, this was predicted.
Posted by: Iblis || 11/10/2015 10:54 Comments || Top||

#2  It's always easy to spend other peoples' money.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/10/2015 11:19 Comments || Top||

#3  Until other people's money runs out.
Posted by: DarthVader || 11/10/2015 11:25 Comments || Top||

#4  Which will happen - Federal support for the states' plans tapers off over time. Meaning the States will be left holding the bill. As planned.
Posted by: Pappy || 11/10/2015 12:21 Comments || Top||

#5  Well, at least we don't have to worry anymore that nobody was signing up. All the millions spent to sign up the disadvantaged is finally paying off. For the progressives.

#6  You mean for the democrats.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 11/10/2015 18:16 Comments || Top||

#7  I wonder if Governor Kasich (R, Ohio) is still pleased with his decision to take federal money for the expansion?
Posted by: trailing wife || 11/10/2015 19:57 Comments || Top||

#8  Well, we know how the Republican primary voters felt.
Posted by: Pappy || 11/10/2015 20:44 Comments || Top||

#9  Sure, during the 2000 election, when Mr. Kasich was still in Congress. Tonight he's in the Republican debate being drunkblogged by Steven Green.
