Obama & Dems in ‘05: 51 Vote ‘Nuclear Option’ Is ‘Arrogant’ Power Grab Against the Founders’ Intent

This brilliant video compilation shows how the Democrats in 2005, including Senators Obama and Biden, passionately believed that using gimmicky procedural maneuvers to ram a partisan Bill through the U.S. Senate was a threat to our Republic. But I guess it's okay for them to consider it now, since they know what is best for us.

Eric Holder stonewalls Congress on terror lawyers | Washington Examiner

At least nine attorneys working at the U.S. Department of Justice worked as defense attorneys for terrorsit detainees before joining Team Obama/Holder, and an undisclosed number of those attorneys are now helping to set U.S. policy with respect to terrorist detainees. But the Obama administration has so far refused to disclose to Congress (1) who these attorneys are? (2) what the nature of their representation of detained, suspected terrorists was? and (3) what their current duties are at the Deaprtment of Justice? Fox, meet henhouse.

Key paragraph:

Private lawyers can choose to take or not take cases. Sometimes they make
their decisions based on money, sometimes on principle, sometimes because they
are sympathetic to the accused. The lawyers who worked with the terrorist
detainees chose to represent people who are making war on the United States.
That's certainly their right, but it's entirely reasonable to ask whether they
should now be working on detainee issues at the Justice Department.

Where will American Politicians Go For Better health Care?

A prominent Canadian politician has caused some controversy by eschewing Canada's nationalized health care system and instead flying to Miami for a minor heart surgery. He says "It's my health, it's my choice." That's a pretty pithy slogan. Maybe it will catch on here in the U.S.

Two questions: Will Obamacare be better or worse than Canada's system? And, where will our politicians go to get better health care once they've screwed the entire system up for the rest of us?

Government's Only 'Broken' When Left Isn't Getting Its Way

George Will absolutely nails it.:

"[W]ith metronomic regularity, we go through these moments in Washington where we complain about the government being broken. These moments have one thing in common: The Left is having trouble enacting its agenda. No one when George W. Bush had trouble reforming Social Security said, 'Oh, that's terrible - the government's broken.'"
