In his incredibly appalling and dangerous comments about the Supreme Court this week, President Obama managed to diss the judiciary, toss out the separation of powers, throw out the co-equal branches of government, dismiss the principle of judicial review, and by so doing, shred the Constitution.
Not bad for a day's work.
But buried in Obama's unconstitutional usurpation of power was this nugget:
"And I'd just remind conservative commentators that, for years, what we have heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism, or a lack of judicial restraint, that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law," he said.
Now, set aside for a moment the fact that he slams the Justices of the Supreme Court as "an unelected group of people," despite the fact that the Founders deliberately and wisely created the judiciary to be independent of political pressures. Set aside the fact that the Supreme Court overturns laws all the time based on the law. In fact, that is their job: to review cases that come before them because there IS a dispute about the Constitutionality of the laws in question. The principle of judicial review has been in place since 1803. Obama threw it out the window in one fell swoop. Set aside that "judicial activism" refers not to judges striking down laws that are unconstitutional but to judges legislating from the bench. Those are two wildly different concepts; Obama either cannot or will not differentiate between the two.
But set all of that aside and focus on something else he said there. He called for no "judicial activism" and instead for "judicial restraint."
Interesting that he's suddenly interested in "restraint."
Where was the "restraint" of the legislative branch when they passed the biggest piece of social welfare legislation since Medicare on a straight party-line vote? Where was their restraint when they upended the greatest health care system in the world and replaced it with socialized medicine without majority public support? Where was the executive's restraint when he guided the entire process, bought off entire industries and unions to go along with it, and signed the anti-American monstrosity into law?
Not a lot of "restraint" by either the Democrats in the legislature or by the Democrat executive.
Now he wants "restraint?"
Not likely---either from the Court in June or from the American people in November.

Why wouldn't they pull another 5/4 Nazi twostep? They have nothing to lose, they already know their fates if a revolution were to happen today.
Lucky for them the winds of change are blowing strong.

Remember this: A Democratic senate AND house AND White House could, and would easily pass a whole slew of laws quickly and efficiently that would effectively gut "Citizens" United and deal the final coup de grâce to the GOP.
I'd count on it.

And let us not forget, except for a veritable handful of insane "Church Ladies", the Women of America REFUSE to be forced to bear unwanted destitute children for the right wing's endless wars of obscene profit.
While you rape their social services and middle class jobs to make sure those children have NOTHING to do and NOWHERE to go but the military or straight into overflowing prisons. And in some cases, BOTH.
The Women of America are NOT stupid, and they have your number coming and going.

So how balanced is the SC?
Lets balanced our budget!!!
Ya lets see what 1% of 312 million people need to pay is estimated $3,044,871 to pay our debt, that is OUR DEBT!!!
Or $35,000 per person?
Or per working person 139,415,000 (working) $71,728,000 each.
We need a lot of dialog to work things out, the key is work.

No woman in history ever aborted a CHILD. Life begins at birth, when the soul enters the body with the first breath, as it ends, with the soul leaving the body at the last breath.
That is what Jesus Christ GOD and everyone else in His time believed, and that is the absolute Truth.
The rest is bullshit to increase collection plate spoils and increase cannon fodder to increase investment portfolios.

_____________________________________
HEY, KOOL-AID DRINKERS, GUESS YOU DIDN'T HEAR THE APOLOGIES FROM ABC AND NBC CONCERNING THEIR DISHONEST REPORTING:
"Coverage of media coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting has now fully separated from the actual events of February 26, 2012, and become a separate story in its own right, as have political attempts to manipulate perceptions of the case. Two important updates on the media front:
First, NBC News has launched an “internal investigation” of how a heavily edited version of the audio from George Zimmerman’s 911 call on the March 27 broadcast of the “Today” show. The same “mistake” was made in a written transcript published at MSNBC.com.
It should be a fairly short “internal investigation,” because the brass just needs to figure out who decided to edit the following conversation between Zimmerman and the dispatcher:
ZIMMERMAN: This guy looks like he's up to no good… or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
DISPATCHER: Okay, is this guy, is he white, black, or Hispanic?
ZIMMERMAN: He looks black.
… into this: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good… he looks black.” As deceptive edits go, it’s rather clumsy, isn’t it? Not to mention grossly irresponsible, given the volatile situation surrounding the Sanford case.
Meanwhile, ABC News manufactured a “scoop” last week by releasing edited video from the Sanford Police Department, ostensibly “proving” that Zimmerman didn’t have any visible injuries. Since Zimmerman claims to have been physically assaulted by Trayvon Martin, a lack of injuries would do some damage to his story.
But ABC not only failed to remind its readers that Zimmerman was treated by paramedics at the scene of Martin’s death – a well-established hard fact documented in police reports. They also used an on-screen graphic to obscure Zimmerman’s head at a crucial moment in their “big scoop” video clip. Without this graphic, viewers can see a rather large gash on the back of Zimmerman’s head, which is totally consistent with his story, and completely destroys the action line for ABC’s “reporting.” The video loudly touted as showing no injuries did, in fact, depict what appears to be a significant injury.
Lo and behold, ABC News has now produced an “enhanced” version of the security camera video, and whaddya know – it’s another sizzling-hot blockbuster scoop, which just happens to completely erase the previous scoop, because after more “enhancement and re-digitization” than Disney deployed to create Tron:Legacy, it turns out ABC’s sharp-eyed analysts can see that scar too!
Thus, ABC News claims to have “revealed for the first time” what everyone who didn’t fall for their earlier “scoop” could easily see with their own eyes, by viewing the unedited security tape. Maybe a sufficiently loud cry of “Whoops!” will make an internal investigation unnecessary."

The Joke is ON YOU. I knew their stories were inaccurate from because an HONEST radio host did what all the "journalists" figured it out JUST BY LISTENING TO THE ACTUAL 911 TAPE weeks before. And he doesn't even have a journalism degree.

It doesn’t take a genius to tell you most people that watch Fox News are ill-informed idiots. However, a recent University of Maryland study confirms this common belief. In fact, according to the research, the more you watch Fox News, the more misinformed you are about political issues:
Those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it to believe that most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely), most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points), the economy is getting worse (26 points), most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points), the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points), their own income taxes have gone up (14 points), the auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points), when TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points) and that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points). The effect was also not simply a function of partisan bias, as people who voted Democratic and watched Fox News were also more likely to have such misinformation than those who did not watch it--though by a lesser margin than those who voted Republican.”

That would mean that Monicamemo would become a troll-free conservative website. Would Monica's RINO friends want that? She has tons of them.
That would mean it would attract the conservative-oriented (and some intelligent curious)of all ages. Do Monica's Goopers want that?
That would mean extensive conservative dialogue and discourse, free of trollscum disruption. Do Monica's G.O.P.-ers, dead-set on nominating a RINO, really want that?
They want another pin=prick in their cold war to suppress the revolt "from below"? Do they need another headache?
Conclusion: Monica is not a dummy. She knows what she's doing, posting as Warrior Princess while holding Open House for low-life troll degenerates, the kind who get a quick flush elsewhere. She knows her RINOsaurs. Sometimes even trolling geeks can be of use. So Monicamemo has to smell?....Sacrifice, sacrifice.

Bush on auto bailouts: 'I'd do it again'
By David Shepardson
Detroit News Washington Bureau
8 Comments
Las Vegas— Former President George W. Bush defended his decision to bailout General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Group LLC in the waning days of his administration.
"I'd do it again," Bush told thousands of the nation's auto dealers, explaining why he approved a $700 billion bailout fund that was used to rescue banks, insurers and automakers. "I didn't want there to be 21 percent unemployment."
Bush said he believed in the free market and under normal conditions, automakers and other businesses should have been allowed to fail.
"If you make a bad decision, you ought to pay," Bush said. "Sometimes circumstances get in the way of philosophy."
In late December 2008, after Congress refused to act, Bush agreed to a $17.4 billion bailout for GM and Chrysler using his broad authority under the $700 billion fund established to help failing banks, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
