poorrichardsnews:
There is so much irony in this clip, I don’t even know where to begin. Senator Diane Feinstein told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that she “felt patronized’ by Ted Cruz when he questioned her today about how the 2nd Amendment relates to the 1st and 4th Amendments.
Here’s the video:
Now,…

Judge Blocks New York City’s Limits on Big Sugary... →
nerdylibertarian:
The judge also appeared to be skeptical of the purview of the city’s Board of Health, which the Bloomberg administration had maintained has broad powers to seek to better the public’s health. That interpretation, the judge wrote, “would leave its authority to define, create, mandate and enforce limited only by its own imagination,” and “create an administrative Leviathan.”

Congress, Drones, and The Imperial Presidency →
Last week the US Senate took a break from debating the phony cuts known as “sequestration,” for Senator Rand Paul to hold a 13-hour filibuster to force the Obama administration to state whether it believes the President has the right to kill American citizens with drones on US soil. I find it tragic that there has to be a discussion on an issue that should be so self-evident.
However, feeling...

“But it can’t happen in America, we’re a democracy!”
Like that time the democratically elected United States government stripped Native Americans of their lands, rights, and possessions, and turned a blind eye to their lynching?
Or that time the…

amagi-nation:
Dear Obama supporters: I am writing this to clarify my concerns with the U.S. policy on drone strikes. I’d like to posit that even if you like Obama and completely trust him not to target U.S. citizens without due process, please keep in mind that Obama will not always be the president….

Poor Richard's News: What sequester? Obama family... →
poorrichardsnews:
Forget the sequester! It’s time for some family fun in Martha’s Vineyard! That’s right. It’s almost been a whole month since the First Family took separate vacations in Florida and Aspen, and President Obama is tired of all the hard work he’s been doing like closing the White House to…

poorrichardsnews:
You’ve probably heard that President Obama closed the White House to public tours this week, blaming the sequester. What you may not have heard, however, is that Organizing for Action (President Obama’s retooled campaign operation) is essentially selling access to the President and…
Poor Richard's News: FILIBUSTER VICTORY FOR RAND:... →
poorrichardsnews:
Finally. After 13 hours of Rand Paul filibustering and demanding an answer to one simple question, the White House has surrendered. Attorney General Eric Holder sent Senator Paul a curt letter acknowledging that President Obama has no Constitutional authority to order drone strikes on…
Yes…but now let’s define “engaged in combat”.

“If there were an ounce of courage in this chamber, I would be joined by Senators...”
– Senator Rand Paul, filibustering today (watch it live here) until the President will disavow assassinating Americans on U.S. soil.
