The meaning of intent

FYI: Please note that it is the position of Tribe, et al., that the Constitution — thanks to a series of rulings on the Commerce Clause that have repeatedly pulled it away from its original intent and so has in perpetuity (under his reading) set in place conditions for its expansion and reach — is a document espousing limited government that by its own designs can do no such thing;

“Ditching unwritten rules for freshmen, Paul does it his way”

— Which, that’s not very helpful, I don’t think. I mean, that’s what we have Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin for, right? To keep the fringe purists distracted with shiny sequined dresses while the pragmatists do the adult work of figuring out ways both parties can benefit — while selling expansionist programs and ever-increasing entitlement spending to the voters in the feel-good language of reform? Compromise. It doesn’t have to

“Deepwater Spill Was Just an Excuse”

Really? Because next you’ll be telling me that the government will declare that what we exhale — and what plants “breathe” — is a pollutant. And I’m just not buying your slippery slope arguments.

Some smart dude has decided a comic book might help the dullards understand an erstwhile 2700 pages of what’s good for them. Blessedly, he decided not to put either Barack or Michelle in tights.

Gibbs to the Constitution:

“We’ll tell you how you’re supposed to work.” Elections have consequences. But if the rule of law no longer applies for this administration — you don’t get to pick and choose which court rulings you wish to follow — by what authority can they insist any law is binding on us? Smoke ’em if you got ’em, people. Preferably inside a government building. While eating a bag of heavily salted
