Washington, D.C. – Representative Sandy Adams (FL-24) released the following statement after introducing legislation to protect the misuse of foreign law in our federal courts. The two-page bill plainly states that “in any court created by or under Article III of the Constitution of the United States, no justice, judge, or other judicial official shall decide any issue in a case before that court in whole or in part on the authority of foreign law, except to the extent the Constitution or an Act of Congress requires the consideration of that foreign law.” read on
Constitution
By Debbie Lee, Move America Forward, mother of the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq
It was a sad day for America as The Supreme court ruled that the hate filled, vile Westboro Baptist Protesters can continue to spew their vitriolic hatred towards our troops, inflicting unimaginable pain into the hearts of the families of the fallen.
I was devastated last as I read on my computer that the verdict had been returned and that they had ruled in favor of Westboro and against the Father of Matthew Snyder, a Marine who gave his life defending the very freedoms that the protesters continue to take advantage of and abuse.
I began to shake, the tears streamed down my face and I felt sick to my stomach as I remembered my confrontation with the cruel, inhumane vileness of these protesters at the Memorial service of my son Marc Alan Lee, the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq 8-2-06. read on

I am pretty sure that future historians will look back on our present times and declare that it marked the rise of state power after years of being under the federal thumb.
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”
–Tenth Amendment
Contrary to what a bunch of spoiled brats calling themselves “progressives” may believe, the U.S. Constitution actually means what it says. The genius of the Framers was that they knowingly and deliberately created a system of government that slows down the process of passing laws and permits any one of the three branches to put a stop to bad laws. read on

Washington, D.C. radio station WMAL is once again being accused of firing a popular talk show host because of his criticism of radical Muslims. The station, a major source of news and information for the nation’s capital, claims that popular morning host Fred Grandy resigned on his own, but Grandy tells AIM that he was essentially forced to leave after his wife, who is also outspoken about radical Islam, was cut from the program. read on

NOTE: This article was sent as an op-ed to all major (and many minor) newspapers around the state of Idaho recently. Rejected by one and all. You’d think, with all the attention that they’ve been giving to nullification in that state, they’d be interested in publishing a view from TAC – the original author of the health care nullification bill they’re slamming. But that doesn’t fit in their little Republicans vs Democrats box they want to keep us all caged in. read on

A Google drawing contest for kids has been changed after some people uncovered an interesting part of the contest’s consent form: in order to submit an entry, kids and parents had to provide the last four digits of the drawer‘s social security number as well as the contestant’s birth year and city of birth. Despite the change, though, some wonder if that information is secure.
While the contest, “Doodle-4-Google,” is meant to tap into the creative side of kids k-12, some wonder if the company us using it to tap into other things. And who might these wild conspiracy theorists be? Not Glenn Beck, as some might think, but rather New York Magazine and a blogger on the Huffington Post.

9-year-old girl seized and questioned by government agents while at school
WASHINGTON, DC — The Rutherford Institute has filed a “friend of the court” brief in the United States Supreme Court challenging the authority of government officials to seize and interrogate students in public schools without their parents’ knowledge or consent. The case, Alford, et al. v. Greene, will determine whether a state human services caseworker and deputy sheriff violated the rights of a 9-year-old girl when, without a court order or parental consent, they removed her from her elementary school classroom and questioned her for two hours about allegations of parental abuse. read on

“We end up punishing honor students to send a message to bad kids. But the data indicate that the bad kids are not getting the message.” — Professor Russell Skiba
What we are witnessing, thanks in large part to zero tolerance policies that were intended to make schools safer by discouraging the use of actual drugs and weapons by students, is the inhumane treatment of young people and the criminalization of childish behavior. read on
Many scholars ponder the actions of the Obama administration after Judge Vinson ruled the Patient Affordability Act as Unconstitutional. The administration has stated that they intend to implement this act despite the courts ruling. However, as law goes, this court’s decision voids the entire bill and stops dead in its tracks any ability to pay for the services rendered. The administration’s actions could cost us taxpayers millions in legal suits if it proceeds without a higher ruling staying the decision of Judge Vinson. Many of the states involved in the lawsuit have publicly stated that they have ended any work or money required to manage these new regulations. read on
