Federal

Chrysler Bailout-Bankruptcy-Purchase Held in Stasis for Court Challenge

In this case, it is the "secured" creditors (the parties that actually hold bonds or other items representing collateral) who are claiming that the assets are going to UNsecured creditors, like, oh, what a surprise, the UNIONS!

Again, this reflects one of the major problems with the work of the Founders, they gave the federal gubment the power to influence bankruptcy and did not leave it to private arbitration and the free market.

Obama Prepares Socialized Medicine Push

So, even if you'd like to know what enumerated power is granted to the federal government to have ANY contact with health care, it doesn't matter. Can Obama and Congress break the Constitution? "Yes they can!" After all, the rules don't matter.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Against Homeland Security Directive Ordering Background Checks on JPL Employees

There have been varying standards regarding 'a-priori' regulations and restrictions placed on so-called 'rights to privacy', Fourth Amendment protections, and even the First Amendment when it comes to federally run or funded systems. For example, years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could NOT set prior restrictions on residents or future residents of a federal housing complex when it came to the feds' desire to be able to search the residences for drugs without obtaining warrants. The American Library Assocition also won in the Supreme Court when the Bush Administration tried to force libraries receiving federal aid to place 'screening software' on their computers to guard against 'indecent material' that could be viewed by minors.

Liberty Dollar Folks Attacked by Feds Again

While the US government and Federal Reserve print counterfeit "legal" money, the feds stop private people from issuing their own medium of exchange based on metal. Who's the bad guy here?

Even Federal Reserve Bankers Are Worried about Bernanke's Inflationary Policies -- Answer? Eliminate the Govt-Money Connection

For some reason, members of the Kansas City Fed Bank have been less disastrous than members of others. They still won't move to the side of right, which is that the fed should compete with other private banks that could issue currency backed by gold, and that all government should be taken out of the money system (all government should also be abolished, but we'll discuss that later...).

Ben Bernanke Has the Audacity to Now WARN Congresss about Spending?!!

Got some cake? You won't for long, because this takes it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/business/economy/04fed.html?_r=1&ref=politics

Ooo! Ooo! Wait! Mr. Kotter! Maybe he's not talking about SPENDING! Maybe he means Congress has to RAISE TAXES! He's a leftist, after all, and when lefties talk of "fiscal responsibility" they dont' mean curbing spending, they mean increasing taxation!

General Motors (SHOCK!) Files for Bankruptcy Protection (ie, Feds Help Them Rip off People They Owe)

Founding fathers made another mistake with that bankruptcy clause in the Constitution. Obama Admin is making it worse... Wasn't GM supposed to be able to "regroup" with its bailout money? Weren't they saved, and the US Taxpayers were going to get their money back?

Hmmm...

The Debate over Sotomayor "D-Bag" Ruling Shows a Lot about Widespread Ignorance of Constitutional Parameters

Okay, so a few people have started talking about this Appeals Court Ruling by Judge Sotomayoooor (love the way the news people push the pronounciation of anything they haven't experienced before, making them look more "authentic"). Here's the deal, this teenage in a gub-ment school was angry that a "battle of the bands" she organized got cancelled by hte administration. She called them "d-bags" (obviously a euphimism for Adam Ant's song Duesche Bags, which was a sequel to Duesche Girls...), and then the administration retaliated buy not allowing her to run for school government. So, she sued on first amendment grounds.
