The Rev. Jesse Jackson joined the fight against Detroit’s emergency financial manager on Friday, calling for mass, nonviolent protest in the city to fend off what he called an attack on residents’ voting rights.

DOJ: Children Do Not Need—and Have No Right to–Mothers – SHOCKING!

(CNSNews.com) – The Obama Justice Department is arguing in the United States Supreme Court that children do not need mothers.

The Justice Department’s argument on the superfluity of motherhood is presented in a brief the Obama administration filed in the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry, which challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that amended California’s Constitution to say that marriage involves only one man and one woman.

SUPREMES TO RULE ON GAY MARRAIGE

The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will take up same-sex marriage, hearing both a case stemming from California’s Proposition 8 voter-approved ban on gay marriage and a case from New York challenging the constitutionality of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.

The pair of moves greatly increase the chances that the justices will rule this term on whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees same-sex couples the right to marry. However, it’s [...]

Supreme Court orders appeals court to hear health care lawsuit over contraceptives

The Supreme Court on Monday ordered the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to examine the constitutionality of the health reform law’s employer requirements and mandatory coverage of contraceptives without a co-pay.

The move could open the door for President Barack Obama’s health law to be back in front of the Supreme Court late next year.

The Supreme Court responded to a request from Liberty University, one of the groups that sued over the health care law’s [...]

New ESM Lawsuit Could Delay German Constitutional Court Ruling

 

Just as we were complaining about lack of newsflow, here comes Germany, coincidentally just as Merkel comes back from vacation, with an update from Karlsruhe that the Constitutional court, which may reject the ESM as is in its September 12th decision, will likely be delayed even more following the filing of a brand new lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ESM.

From Handelsblatt, loosely google translated:

Forget the Obamacare ruling… This could be the most important lawsuit in American history

From Liberty Blitzkrieg:

Despite a mainstream media blackout on the topic, the alternative media is abuzz with this week’s hearing on the constitutionality of the clearly unconstitutional NDAA.

In case you don’t remember, section 1021 of the NDAA, which Obama signed into law on December 31 of last year, allows the government to lock up U.S. citizens indefinitely without a trial. At the time of signing, Obama penned a pathetic letter to [...]

PA’s tough, new voter ID law lands in court

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The first legal test for Pennsylvania’s tough new voter identification law started Wednesday, with state lawyers calling the measure a completely rational step while opponents attacked it as an unnecessary, unjustified and partisan scheme that violates the constitution.

Lawyers delivered their opening statements to Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson, who must decide whether to block the law from taking effect in this year’s election as part of a wider challenge to its constitutionality.

The latest non-partisan report confirms Obamacare is a total disaster

From Bruce Krasting:

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) produced two reports on Obamacare yesterday.
The first (A) did an analysis of what the cost would be if we just junked the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The second (B) looked at the consequences to ACA as a result of the recent Supreme Court decision.

Interesting theory by Dick Morris who knows these rat bastards inside and out. Without Senate rejection of the treaty, unlikely to be br brought up for a vote by Harry Ried, this treaty will be enforceable in US courts. First step will likely be gun registration, then on to banning certain types of weapons.

The German Constitutional Court Rules Against Euro Hysteria

Wolf Richter   www.testosteronepit.com

Chancellor Angela Merkel did the right thing. She left Germany. And Germany is in turmoil. The bailout policies she and her government had pushed through and that parliament had passed just after the EU summit ran into discord, accusations, and threats. Everybody was applying pressure. And the Federal Constitutional Court would have to decide. On Tuesday, it began its hearings on the permanent European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and on [...]

Tomorrow – the Fourth of July – should be considered a national day of mourning.

Having affirmed the constitutionality of Obamacare – that is, of the federal government’s asserted authority not merely to force each of us to purchase the “services” of a private, government-backed cartel (the insurance mafia) but also, implicitly, its asserted authority over our very selves – there is now no line the government may not, [...]

Robert Reich: Bipartisan move won’t take sting out of Obamacare

From FT:

Although a majority of the US Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Chief Justice John Roberts in siding with his liberal colleagues may have saved the public’s trust in the court. But over the next four months the act will remain a political football.

This Election Just Became About Obamacare

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the constitutionality of Obamacare, the principal choice now facing Americans on November 6 will be whether to keep Obamacare or to repeal it.  The question is a binary one, and the answer — expressed almost entirely through their presidential vote — will go a long way toward determining the future course of this great nation.

NYT: The Defense of Marriage Act “fails to meet the most elementary test of constitutionality.”

A federal district judge in New York ruled last week that the Defense of Marriage Act violates the Constitution by requiring the plaintiff to pay federal estate tax on her same-sex spouse’s estate, even though opposite-sex spouses are exempt. It follows a string of other rulings striking down the law in a federal appeals court, two federal district courts and a bankruptcy court.

U.S. government to use ‘drones the size of GOLF BALLS to spy on AMERICAN citizens’

The Obama administration has been widely criticized for its increased reliance on drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but according to published reports, a plan is now in the works to harness tiny drones to spy on U.S. citizens.

Last week President Obama made some rather shocking comments at a press conference regarding the Supreme Court’s deliberation on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. His comments belie a grasp of constitutional concepts so lacking that perhaps the University of Chicago Law School should offer a refund to any students “taught” constitutional law by then-Professor Obama!

He said, “Ultimately, I’m confident [...]
