		<description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;.... new guidelines that permit the federal counterterrorism investigators to collect, search and store data about Americans who are not suspected of terrorism, or anything.&lt;/B&gt;&quot;
Attorney General Eric Holder
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/23/1077038/-DOJ-Expanding-Spy-Powers-Despite-Whistleblowers-Warnings

Keep in mind that I am not disparaging the tactics..  I have no problem with these activities in the least..  They are necessary, they are warranted and the save lives...

My point is how quiet things are on the Left over this...

Once we have President Romney in 2013, things are gonna get really REALLY wild around here.  :D

Ya&#039;all will be back to blasting the President over torture, rendition, loss of privacy, etc etc etc...

And I&#039;ll just be sitting in the corner grinning my arse off..  :D

		<description>WOW...

http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/OralArgRecordings/11/11-40631_4-3-2012.wma

About halfway thru, the Judge drops his bombshell...

For all intents and purposes, it seems like the President wants to nullify Marbury v Madison, 1803.  In effect, he wants to totally remove the courts as an equal branch of the government...

Again, I have to ask.

What the hell is he smoking that he would think the American people would stand for this?

Further, how would the Left had reacted if President Bush made such comments in reference to the SCOTUS&#039; review of the his CT policies??

I think we can all imagine how loud and shrill the reaction from the Left would be..

		<description>The more I read about this, the more it seems that Obama has lost his mind...

That&#039;s the only explanation that would explain how the President can claim that it is &quot;unprecedented&quot; that the SCOTUS would rule a law unconstitutional...  WTF???  Isn&#039;t that EXACTLY what the SCOTUS did to end segregation???

What other explanation but diminished capacity would explain how the President can claim that by ruling CrapCare as unconstitutional, the SCOTUS is &quot;making laws&quot;????

All Obama bashing aside, the President has seriously lost his senses if he thinks he can browbeat and bully the SCOTUS to bend to his will..   

The SCOTUS has the POTUS *SERIOUSLY* out-gunned in this..

Are ANY of you seeing any &quot;red lines&quot; yet???

		<description>Whoooaaaaaaa
Looks like Obama picked the wrong fight....

&lt;B&gt;Appeals court fires back at Obama&#039;s comments on health care case&lt;/B&gt;
(CBS News) In the escalating battle between the administration and the judiciary, a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president&#039;s bluff -- &lt;B&gt;ordering the Justice Department&lt;/B&gt; to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law, according to a lawyer who was in the courtroom.

THis kinda goes along with what I asked last week..

How is it that SCOTUS striking down a law as unconstitutional, how is that &quot;judicial activism&quot;??

Isn&#039;t the very JOB of the SCOTUS to do exactly that??  Determine if laws passed by Congress are legal and follow the Constitution??

&lt;B&gt;
Priest: &quot;JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED!!!&quot;
Judge Harry Stone: &quot;Well, gee whiz, Padre.  Kinda puts a kink in the ol&#039; job description, don&#039;tcha think?&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Night Court

:D

Yea, I think Obama really didn&#039;t need to pick this fight so close to his election.

It&#039;s a fight he simply cannot win..  Sure, it will RAA RAA SIS BOOM BAA his base..  

But he will lose a crapload of Independents and NPAs over it..

Ya gotta wonder what he is thinking...</description>

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/04/03/obama_warns_gop_budget_would_make_weather_prediction_less_accurate.html

And the seas will boil and the earth will open up and swallow us all.....

.... IF you vote for Republicans...

Talk about taking shameful fear mongering to new heights...

Or in this case, new lows....

Jeeezus H Chreest!!

Does Obama and the Democrats REALLY believe that Americans will fall for this sort of crap??

How stupid do they think we are!??  I mean, seriously..  This is simply an insult to our intelligence...

So, yes.  What you said.
