Obama Picks Supreme Court Justice

President Obama's pick for the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, is just what we expected:  a far-left liberal who is also a payoff to certain interest groups (namely women and Hispanics).  We have a big stack on her today, including her belief that a minority can render better decisions than a white male and that policy is made by courts.  She recently rejected a reverse discrimination case, but she has almost nothing on abortion.  Even liberals have criticized her for being intellectually shallow.  Here are some of her other opinions, including one in which she held that the Second Amendment only applies to the federal government.  As of Sunday, before the nominee was known, Republicans were still threatening a filibuster.

 

North Korea tested a nuclear weapon over the holiday weekend, giving the United States less than an hour's worth of notice before detonation.  President Obama calls it a "grave concern," and the UN Security Council has sent Kim Jong "Mentally" Il a letter telling them how angry they are.  The Norks responded by test-firing more missiles.  Meanwhile, "Crazy" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says that the debate over the Iranian nuclear program is "over" and that they will pursue nukes, rejecting efforts by the West to negotiate the program.

 

Transportation Secretary and Obama Administration token Republican Ray Lahood wants to "coerce people out of their cars."

 

The British government is trying to get rid of certain foods because they are considered bad for the environment.  Global warming is all about control, not about saving the planet.  Al Gore is pushing business leaders to ask for global warming action, saying that "Mother Nature does not do bailouts."

 

The state of Maryland raised taxes on its richest citizens, and—surprise!—those evil, nasty, filthy, stinking rich people left.  British banks are threatening to turn down American clients if the Obama administration follows through on its plan to track American earnings wherever they go around the world.

 

President Obama admits that the United States is out of money.  This could get even worse as more Americans start claiming early retirement from Social Security.

 

The Saudi Arabian Oil Minister says that oil will reach $75 per barrel.  It's ok, you can go on thinking it's the oil companies who are the bad guys.

 

Nearly half of Americans oppose closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, and only 25% believe that Guantanamo has weakened national security.

 

It looks like an immigration "reform" bill will wait until the fall.

 

It appears that some political motivations were considered in choosing which Chrysler dealerships were closed.  A vast majority of them were Republican donors.

 

At least 35 states have seen legislation introduced this year to assert states' power under the United States Constitution.

 

Taxes pay for $25 million in lobbyist salaries in the state of Georgia.

 

Oh boy, another story about segregated proms in Georgia that makes the northeast liberal elite laugh at us.

 

Rep. Nathan Deal, a candidate for Governor next year, has introduced a bill to end citizenship for anchor babies.  Can we get him to just run for Senate instead?
