Bailouts of the failing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not only unwarranted and unwise – but the existence of both these quasi-government/private organizations is unconstitutional from the very beginning. When looking at the constitutionality of government programs, it’s not necessary to be a law student, or an “expert” of any kind. The founding fathers [...]

The Ideals of the Founders
A week ago today, Independence Day (not “the 4th”) was celebrated – but it seems that many people are missing the point of this holiday. We all enjoy taking time with family and friends – celebrating and appreciating the warm summer – but do we ever really take time to reflect on just what we’re [...]

The State of California’s recent decision to start allowing gay marriages has caused an uproar, of sorts, in some corners. These people are concerned about their values, their traditions, their lifestyle and their beliefs. So, many of them are calling on the federal government to “step in” and fix this “problem.” One thing that these [...]
Is the TSA Constitutional?
Recently, the TSA – in an effort to improve their awful public image – launched a blog. Yes, the TSA is “reaching out” to all of us – and it’s not to pat us down without a warrant…this time. According to a post at ThinkProgress.org, it didn’t kick off too well. In fact, so many [...]

The big news of the day has clearly been the US Intelligence report that’s come out detailing how Iran halted its nuclear weapons work in 2003.

The Longest and Most Costly War in American History
If you are concerned at all about liberty, the economy, the Constitution and the power of the Federal Government – you cannot ignore our longest and most costly war – the War on Drugs. It’s now 35 years after Dick Nixon started this “war” -Â and we now have over 1 million – yes, 1 [...]
Waterboarding and the 10th Amendment
The debates over whether Waterboarding constitutes torture or not have been quite heated as of late. Democrats in the Senate have been saying they may not confirm Michael Mukasey as attorney general based on his unclear legal positions on the issue – but some key Dems are now saying that they will approve him.
More Drug War Madness
The unconstitutional drug war rages on – and on, and on. Recently, Federal Agents raided a California small business and arrested three people for running a marijuana candy factory. States rights have no bearing when thugs shut down businesses, destroy families, and throw people in jail.

Cross-Posted from DailyKos.com with permission of the author, Crashing Vor Watching Keith [Olbermann] just now, I heard him mention Antonin “Nino” Scalia’s dissenting opinion from today’s ruling in regards habeas corpus rights for detainees.
