Should anyone be interested in knowing how unfairly Lorin was treated by the Henniker’s Cogswell Spring Water Works Department regarding the Depot Hill Storage tank, I’ve attached links to meeting Minutes that you might find interesting, and might feel as disappointed and disgusted as I. We can do better than this, and we must.

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.” – President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

Mercy Health Fires 347 Workers Due to Obamacare
Mercy Health announced Thursday it will fire 347 workers due to “increasing challenges to our reimbursement structure as we adjust to reductions mandated by the Affordable Care Act,” the company said in a statement. President and CEO of the Mercy system, Lynn Britton, said the Obamacare-induced layoffs are taking a toll on workers and their families.
In today’s Concord Fishwrap (no offense to fish), you’ll see another editorial about guns. Yet another vapid.repetitive.attempt to imply that the backwater, 18th century Founding Fathers had no idea, when they wrote the muskets-only Second Amendment, that semi-automatic firearms would ever be invented.
Had the editorial’s authors only been there to tell them, the Founders would have surely backed away from this senseless, antiquated section of 27 words. Right?

Sometimes these females are just too high maintenance: Heh! After today’s news, just HAD to find something to smile about. (H/T: Independent Journal Review)
ScotusCare: The Judge has a few choice words. Ambiguous. Steve put up one of Supreme Court Justice Scalia’s words of dissent from today’s King vs Burwell decision – I agree. Former judge Napolitano, a strict Constitutionalist who, due to his attitude and oratory is a favorite speaker on the conservative trail (I have heard him twice in person – he can hold a crowd and get them on their feet!) also had a few choice words. I was glancing at SCOTUSblog when it was announced real time and then happened to catch the judge on Fox:
My immediate reaction is that the chief justice has yet again resorted to a nearly unheard of construction in order to save the statute,”
“Last time around when the government said it was not a tax and the challengers said it was not a tax, the chief justice ruled it was a tax and that saved it. This time around he took the plain meaning of ordinary words, ‘established by the states,’

“On June 23rd, a Merrimack County Superior Court jury returned a verdict on all counts for Lorin Mulligan against the Town of Henniker. The Henniker Water Department built an access road for commercial trucks across her property to the Town’s water tank on abutting land. Despite her repeated protests and the clear language of her deed, Henniker chose to build the road anyway with little or no regard to her private property rights. She was left with no option but to defend her constitutionally protected property rights through an arduous litigation process.

“Because black people have traditionally participated in Sunday after-church voting, reducing or eliminating early voting and restricting the number of voting machines in heavily minority polling places effectively works to prevent significant numbers of minorities from participating.” – Bob Perry, Democrat Candidate for NH House Huh?
It amuses me to no end when Republicans (individuals, groups, so-called advocates, candidates, politicians, party leadership) tell us that we must compromise on our principles to “have a seat at the table.” Compromise is part of politics but shouldn’t we be looking for leaders who are more interested in getting the opposition to sit at our … Read more

I’m not going to waste time remarking on the Supreme Court’s King v. Burwell decisions except to say that the left’s rejoicing will end the moment someone uses the gymnastics required to reach that decision to an end they do not either enjoy or embrace.
Besides, Justice Scalia already did the heavy lifting. Anything else would be inferior by comparison. Here’s a taste…(H/T The Federalist)
The somersaults of statutory interpretation they have performed (“penalty” means tax, “further [Medicaid] payments to the State” means only incremental Medicaid payments to the State, “established by the State” means not established by the State) will be cited by litigants endlessly, to the confusion of honest jurisprudence. And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.
I dissent.
Read the entire decision here. I have published Scalia’s dissent on the jump.
While the Republicans are on their knees begging for enough air to cry for an erasure of the Confederate Flag from various state buildings might I suggest they fight fire with fire.
