The Leaders Of The Left See Inevitable Defeat

Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.

“In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”

New York probably gets DOMA on the Supreme Court docket [Reader Post]

The Constitution is singularly the greatest document that has ever been written and has resulted in more good for more people around the world than any other single document of man in history.

ObamaCare Justice….Forcing Those “Freeloaders” To Pay One Way Or Another

Ann Althouse brings up some great points in this trio of posts responding to another law professor’s op-ed today but none more better then this:

“Tribe’s op-ed, as I wrote in the first post, rests very heavily on misrepresenting the Supreme Court’s commerce power doctrine as referring to “commercial choices.” In fact, the cases refer to “commercial activities,” and a switch from “activity” to “choice” is immensely important in the health care litigation, in which opponents stress that the failure to buy insurance is inactivity, not activity, and therefore beyond even the broadest interpretations the Supreme Court has ever given to the Commerce Clause.”
