— Although surprisingly, they did so without citing the emission of CO2 as the reason — though I haven’t yet checked if John Roberts, after much deliberation, was unable to declare the unconstitutional recess appointments a tax, and so found his hand forced. In other words, I don’t much care anymore what the Supreme Court says, save for Thomas, Alito, and on many (but not all) occasions, Scalia. But some

Democrat Bennie G. Thompson presents Thad Cochran the bill for black support [Darleen Click]
What was that … something about any Republican being a better choice over a Democrat no matter what? Senator Thad Cochran (R., Miss.) needs to reward the black voters who crossed party lines to support him in his runoff against tea party challenger Chris McDaniel by backing some concrete policy initiatives, according the the state’s only member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “We have historically black colleges in our state

“No Concession in McDaniel Post-Runoff Speech, Vows to ‘Never Stop Fighting'”
Republican primary victors shouldn’t have their victories taken away by liberal Democrats urged to cross over and vote for the pol they won’t vote for in the general election. But the establishment GOP doesn’t believe that. They believe in power uber alles, and maintaining the coalition integrity of their long-term incumbent pork barrel back scratchers. Chris McDaniels, thankfully, doesn’t agree — and he’s not afraid to say so.

“Dems Fawn Over IRS Commissioner Who Contributed Over $85,000 to Their Committees, Candidates”
Corrupt to the very last drop: IRS Commissioner John Koskinen contributed more than $85,000 to Democratic candidates and committees, MRCTV research has discovered – with a $5,000 donation to President Obama in 2012 and $19,000 to the Democratic National Committee from 1988 to 2008. This may explain the fawning “thank yous” Koskinen received for his public service from many Democrats last night on the House Committee on Oversight and Government

The Colin Powell GOP
You’ve heard me mention this before, but if you call yourself a Republican and then vote for Democrats — or in the case of Thad Cochran (or rather, his NRSC handlers and lobbyists; Thad didn’t have to show up for a debate and only on occasion does he get awakened to do what Mitch McConnell tells him to do), actively recruit liberal Democrats with race-baiting, anti-TEA Party literature and robocalls

Al Gore’s in Australia [Darleen Click]
Gorical increases his carbon footprint by flying downunder to hector the hoi polloi on global warming climate change. Eastern Australia gets best snowfalls in a decade.

Not a smidgen of corruption [Darleen Click]
IRS admits wrongdoing Two years after activists for same-sex marriage obtained the confidential tax return and donor list of a national group opposed to redefining marriage, the Internal Revenue Service has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to settle the resulting lawsuit. The Daily Signal has learned that, under a consent judgment today, the IRS agreed to pay $50,000 in damages to the National Organization for Marriage as a result of the

On Paid Maternity Leave
I seldom disagree with Mark Levin these days — we constitutionalists have a stable set of documents to appeal to, and so we tend to find a certain intellectual concert — but on his show last evening (which I’m right now listening to) he rebuked Obama’s call for “paid family leave” or paid maternity leave, holding out particular contempt for the President’s willingness to run down the US and suggest

“Grave finally arrives for Norman ‘Chubby’ Chaney”
One of the most memorable of the “Our Gang” cast, who — after his time on the series — died at the premature age of 21 and was buried in an unmarked grave in Baltimore, is getting a headstone thanks to a charitable campaign funded by fans of the old series of comedic shorts, which was later syndicated as the “Little Rascals” and ran throughout my childhood, leaving me an

Cochran violating Mississippi State law, using race-baiting robocalls to turn out DEMS against Republican primary winner
This is why I say if Cochran wins — by blatantly violating state law, which demands that you vote in the general election for the candidate you vote for in the primary (in this case, a primary run-off), and does so with the brazen and open aid of Senate Republicans and local GOP establishment lobbyists and NRSC pacs — the GOP is over. Done with. Finished. Sleeps with the fishes. And
