new federal tax opinions...

The Roman Republic was a pretty great system (for the Romans... not so much for everyone they conquered), but when things started unraveling with over the top corruption (leading to murders of key men), it all quickly went to **** and wouldn't you know it, civil war, and finally a dictatorship. I am not saying that we will end up in a dictatorship (I'm not saying we won't either), but my point is that once one side crosses from minor corruption to major corruption, the other side will retaliate and things will escalate out of control. We saw this happen in Wisconsin, where years of Democrat corruption were paid back by the Republicans in completely freezing out the Democrats once the Republicans took power and ramming through a ton of legislation. Personally, I think that most of that legislation was needed, but the manner in which it was enacted was considered over the top by the Dems, and when the day comes that they return to power, things are going to get really bad... fast. Look for increasing polarization at a rapidly accelerating pace. Remember folks, the parasites outnumber us... and they are beginning to forget that they need the host to survive.

Ah, jeez do I feel like I've been blanking scammed.

Smells like Chicago.

Shouldn't ethics require that she at least recuse herself from the decision?!?

Blank me!

Just google "elena kagan emails"

After you read about a few of these, you'll want to vomit.

There is one where there is a discussion about the case and she replies back to a long email thread "what's your phone number"

3 minutes later the other party returns the phone number and the long going email thread ends.

I believe this was one month after the announcement that the law would go to court and one month before she was picked to be on the court.

I think during the hearings she agreed to recuse herself. But she didn't.

Isn't it a conflict of interest for the guy who decides whether or not to bring charges against holder considering holder is his boss?

It is and that is why it will immediately turn to civil action - not criminal. In the criminal side, he will not make it to or past indictment....history has shown.

Well, as AirTool mentioned, I consider myself a strict Constitutionalist. But, that also means that I hold in contempt those who swear to 'uphold' it, and then go about violating it. I think this could certainly be viewed as constitutional, as the SCOTUS has ruled, however, I also see how it could easily be viewed as unconstitutional.

I am so grateful I live in this marvelous country, and I am thankful to those who have served to defend it, and protect it, both here an abroad. But I do fear for Her future. All I can say is that I do so desperately hope that those that feel this way, are not silent come November. Facts have shown that the Dems are willing to break rules to win elections, and I'm just not sure the Reps are really the answer either. I'd like to find the 'reluctant politician', the one who doesn't want the office, or power, but rather views it as an obligation as part of the free society. But it wont work with just 1. I was taught from a young age, that "the function of government is to enhance itself", and I see a lot of truth to that. The Constitution was developed as a fence around the government, limiting it power, and capability. It has been so twisted, and the SCOTUS has become so partisan, we can't rely on it either.
I certainly don't want it.. but I'm afraid it's going to end in blood....

But.... as Thomas Paine said "if there must be trouble, let it be in my day so that my child will have peace" I don't have any kids yet, but I sure am fond of my nephews...

I think Holder is going to go down... the question to me is how... if BHO fails in his bid for a second term, Holder would be wise to tell BHO to lump it all on him right away, so he can get the pardon as BHO exits office... If he tries to stick it out, and BHO looses, Holder will do time. I think there is a little too much evidence against him. He just better hope all his crud gets discovered soon enough to get lumped into one indictment. They find more crud later, BHO may not be in office to save him some time in the graybar hotel..

That's a good point.

The step after that was identified by the Beatles: One for you 19 for me. If you walk I'll tax your feet. If you sit I'll tax your seat.

The final step was identified by Karl Marx who is just right of Obama: From AirTool according to his ability. To AirTool according to his need.

What we need is a Amendment limiting the size of government (read: how much money they can redistribute).

I said it before Judge Napolitano did.
