On March 26, when the Supreme Court begins hearing oral arguments in the ObamaCare cases, the first point that will be argued is the government’s contention that the individual mandate is a tax.
The DOJ is making this claim in the hope that the Court will invoke the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA) in order to avoid having […]

VIDEO: OMB DIRECTOR CONTRADICTS DOJ’S OBAMACARE DEFENSE
VIDEO: THE JUSTICE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
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:

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.

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 […]

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 […]
FLOWERS FOR OBAMACARE
My column today for The American Spectator discusses the pirouette our progressive friends in the media have done regarding the intelligence and influence of Clarence Thomas.
For two decades, progressives have claimed that he is intellectually unfit to sit on the Court. They have repeatedly told us that Thomas is, as one commentator recently phrased it, […]
