Last July, I wrote a column for the American Spectator about Elena Kagan’s conflict of interest where ObamaCare is concerned. Since then, more damning information has come out about her involvement in preparing the legal defense of PPACA. In this video, Michael Ostrolenk interviews Carrie Severino, Policy Director of the Judicial Crisis Network, about their new report: […]

MORE EMAIL EVIDENCE SHOWS KAGAN WAS INVOLVED IN OBAMACARE LEGAL PREP
No matter how many whoppers she told Congress, Justice Kagan was obviously involved in orchestrating the administration’s legal strategy for fighting ObamaCare challenges. In fact, she was working on it before the bill even passed:
Internal Justice Department email communications made just days before the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act show […]
ABOUT THOSE “FRIVOLOUS” OCARE LAWSUITS
Remember when the lawsuits filed against ObamaCare were just “frivolous” PR stunts? I guess SCOTUS disagrees. In today’s American Spectator, I discuss yesterday’s Supreme Court decision to hear arguments on four specific issues raised by the various plaintiffs:
Does Congress possess the power to enact the individual mandate?
Is the individual mandate severable from the rest of the law?
Does the Anti-Injunction Act […]
SCOTUS PONDERS OBAMACARE AMIDST MORE CLUELESS CALLS FOR THOMAS’ RECUSAL
As I pointed out in the American Spectator, yesterday’s Justice’ Conference included the discussion of five seperate petitions for certiorari involving the constitutionality of ObamaCare.
Shortly after the conference, however, the Court announced that no orders would be issued until Monday. So, we’ll have to wait until then to find out which challenges will be argued before […]
SUPREME COURT ABOUT TO DECIDE WHICH OBAMACARE CASES WILL MAKE THE CUT
Tomorrow, the nine people who must determine the ultimate fate of the hilariously titled “Affordable Care Act” will decide which constitutional challenges will actually be argued in the rarified air of the Supreme Court. In my latest column for the American Spectator, I discuss the petitions they will consider:
The justices are scheduled to consider no fewer than five […]

When the U.S. Supreme Court is in session, certain days are set aside for esoteric onferences during which the justices discuss cases they might decide to hear. On Novemeber 10, the justices will consider 5 seperate petitions for certiorari relating to ObamaCare. As Lyle Denniston at SCOTUSBlog points out:
Although a grant of review is not […]
NPR’S TOTENBERG STILL TRASHING CLARENCE THOMAS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
Nina Totenberg, who twenty years ago helped trump up the obviously phony accusations by Anita Hill against Clarence Thomas (Remember the ridiculous “Coke can” charge?) uses an NPR story to demonstrate that she still has a morbid obsession with him:
Scholars note that Thomas’s views are in fact so extreme that he is considerably to the […]
FIVE REASONS OCARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
For a quick overview of the five major constitutional issues that have produced a tsunami of lawsuits challenging ObamaCare, Quin Hillyer provides the following summary:
1) The individual mandate:
Every one of the cases involves a challenge, on one ground or another, to Obamacare’s “individual mandate” forcing the purchase of health insurance. The argument is simple: Challengers […]
THE SUPREME ARBITER OF YOUR LIBERTY
My latest column for the American Spectator discusses the outsized role one man will play in deciding the fate of ObamaCare and your personal liberties:
Now that the Department of Justice has petitioned the Supreme Court to review Florida v. HHS … most experts believe the justices will take up the case this term and issue […]
MARK LEVIN: SUPREME COURT COULD UPHOLD OBAMACARE
Levin is a lawyer whose experience includes an advisory role in the Reagan adminstration. He knows what he’s talking about and says we should not be overconfident that the Supreme Court will do the right thing on ObamaCare. He’s particularly worried about Justice Anthony Kennedy:
Four justices will definitely vote to uphold the mandate (Kagan, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor) […]
