Boy, the President and the progressive left have been on a real tear, have they not, about the fate of the Obamacare mess. Calling for impeachments of judges who vote against it. Warning them not to ignore imaginary precedents. Delivering … Continue reading →
The Supreme Court of the United States is, as everyone knows by now, ruminating over the legality of Obamacare. Things are not looking too hot for that particular law, at least based on legal experts’s opinion (real ones, not the … Continue reading →
