Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: You got me. But if it has anything to do with Ron Paul being bugfuck crazy, I’d totally sympathize.

The dude is the Thersites of the early Iliad, but who is going to be the Odysseus to crack him over his hump with the speaking-stick?
he’s retiring i think so it’s easier to be nice I think
I remember going to one of his rallies when I was a widdle kid I think that may have been where we met festus from gunsmoke but I might be mixing him up with John Sharp
he wasn’t always a wackadoodle he grew into that
Glad you clarified which Thersites. Sooo confusing these days.
Still, wouldn’t it have been funny if he’d offered to answer any questions after he finished this-here mint julep?
It was the only time last night I started shouting at the tv … not just at Mr. Crazy but at his obviously crazy supporters screaming in the audience.

No deets yet, but the Appeals Court has ruled the Obamacare mandate UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Which court Pablo? The Virginia one or the Georgia one?

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: Because it was stapled to the punk.
This calls for pound cake.
Now it’s time for the congressional delegations from 26 states to defund ObamaCare.

Hearing Rush say the Appeals Court did not agree with the Florida District Court on the question of severability, but no details beyond that.
The big ‘un! Sweet, sweet Jawjuh.
Not a whiff of this at the NYT or Wapo – I must conclude that it hasn’t happened.
Progressives need a very strong sense of denial just to survive each day. Ignoring this ruling is easy for them.
A Ten-Point Primer on Our Current Politics by VDH:
Progressives need a very strong sense of denial just to survive each day.
Boy, when you’re right, you’re right, cranky.
From Pablo’s link:
(my emphasis)
So it’s still prevailing proggthink that if people did something stupid in the past we are forced to continue those stupid things because of “precedent”?
How about in addition to a strong sense of denial, an even stronger sense of ownership?
Obama Wants Credit For Texas Job Growth
oops!! I posted about the mandate before checking this thread … [waves at Pablo!]
The Administration argued that the requirement was legal under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. One of the three judges of the appeals court panel, Stanley Marcus, agreed with the administration in dissenting from the majority opinion.
The majority “has ignored the undeniable fact that Congress’ commerce power has grown exponentially over the past two centuries and is now generally accepted as having afforded Congress the authority to create rules regulating large areas of our national economy,” Marcus wrote.
Somebody might want to clue in the Honorable Stan that the exponential growth he cites is long overdue for some serious reeling in, and that the majority he criticizes knows exactly what it’s doing.
Poor Stan. Just not cut out for
17th18th19th21st Century jurisprudence.Naturally di. I mean, why would anyone give credence to anything a conservative has to say? Don’t you know that some of them are the trashiest of trailer folk who go to churches the size of stadiums where they have cameras so as to push their pushy Jesusy-ness on other, more restrained people? My God! How can ANYBODY take people like that seriously! (psst: between you and me, there’s other conservatives that are just, well, weird. Y’know what I mean?) [wink an’ a grin]

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: Because as a fan of Jim Hightower’s she was well aware that there’s nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos (no offense). Even a chicken knows that when the sky is falling it’s time to bail on the Democrats, and even a chicken has enough brains to know that Ron Paul is bugfuck crazy so there’s no point in putting your eggs in that basket case.
Also, as a chicken, she knew that it’s impossible to run over a chicken, so she had nothing to lose.
That’s the effect of stare decisis, unfortunately. In a legal system with a written Constitution, that principle should perhaps be curtailed.
#28 – only partly so, McGehee. To the Left, precedent is holy, unshakable and inviolable – if it backs what they want (ie. Roe v Wade). If not, it is worse than Dred Scott and just a mechanism for reactionary tools of imperialism to wield, taken from the dead white patriarch arsenal.
If I were smart like a lefty, I’d be able to tell which decisions were which. As it is, I’ll just sit quietly and do what they tell me to do.
I still haven’t posted anything on Steyn’s After America, but ArthurK over at Ace’s has summarized the prologue here.
I’m more apt to type up the more entertaining passages.
¡Cuando me nazca, meus filhos!
To a progressive stare decisis means what’s mine is mine and what’s yours remains negotiable.
