Leading Democrats have announced they want a federal statute overruling state laws that restrict abortion. In other words, they want Congress to legalize nearly unrestricted abortion nationwide. Obviously, such a law would intrude into an area of social policy traditionally left to the states.

Well, Well – The Spectre of Responsibility Has Finally Returned? Or Rebellion Against The Loss of Free Sex?
OK, this is a couple of weeks old as this came out after SCOTUS decided that the Federal Government had no part in abortion… Sidenote: isn’t this what the anti-life aficionados have been weeping over for months? For Government to get out of the relationship between pregnant women and their doctors? They should be THANKING … Read more
Really? The EPA Is Going to Take a Second Bite at the CO2 Apple?
Yeah, “jealously guarding their Powers” is a quote I keep using in talking about what each of our co-equal Branches of Government should be doing (but haven’t). Yet, in the lengthening shadow of the SCOTUS decision that the EPA could just make stuff up on their own (e.g., can’t regulate CO2 emissions of power plants … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings: No, Lloyd, SCOTUS Didn’t Limit the EPA Powers; Congress Never Gave It That Power to Begin With! Part 1
The absolute beserk attitudes of the Greenies continues as the SCOTUS decision concerning the EPA’s capability to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants is still reverberating (along with Dobbs (abortion back to the States), NYC (Second Amendment / Conceal Carry), and First Amendment (Religious Liberty for a football coach and religious school student vouchers)).

Following ‘Bruen’ SCOTUS Overturns Four Lower Court Cases that Upheld Gun Restrictions

Friday Open Thread – Should Government Boss Society around or Should It Be Society Dictating to Government?
Indeed: Abortion – really a case of Federalism sending Powers back to the States School Vouchers – really a case of Religious Liberty and telling States they can’t discriminate against non-secular schools Guns – really a case of Individual Liberty / Constitution MEANS what is written (“shall not be infringed”) Prayer – again, Religious Freedom … Read more
Notable Quote – See, SCOTUS Was Right in Its Beatdown on the EPA and CO2 Emissions!
I found this back on April 1 but it is no April Fool’s Day joke – it is serious stuff and shows that yesterday’s SCOTUS decision (on which I’ll have more to say later) was correct as we on the Right have been watching the rise of The Administrative State.
So the Editors at the Laconia Daily Sun believe that the US Constitution GIVES us our Rights?
In the June 27 edition of the Sun, Richard Tracy made a great point about rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the editors at the Sun may not fully understand the concept of inalienable rights. The headline of the letter read, “Second Amendment at core gives right to self-defense.”
Praying Coach Kennedy Wins at US Supreme Court

Night of Rage
Well, we were promised more “mostly peaceful” protests if SCOTUS dared overturn Roe vs Wade. They did and fulfilling their promise “Jane’s Revenge”, a radical group of a radical movement called for “If Row can’t be safe neither can you”. Sure enough, all those mostly peaceful protestors (aka terrorists) turned out, clashed with police in … Read more
Breaking News – “Supreme Court Strikes Down New York Concealed Carry Restrictions”

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #15 – SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh and the Left’s Domestic Terrorism – and Gun Control
More random thoughts – the Left’s absolute mind-tearing political rampage about killing babies, while I wait for the Grandson’s field trip bus to the Squam Lake Center to arrive, after the leaking of the Alito preliminary decision about overriding Roe vs Wade.

Why is Illegal Okay
We have a series of committee hearings taking place in Washington with the sole purpose of destroying former President Donald Trump from ever running for President again. If they somehow garner enough support to charge him criminally, that would be a bonus.
Left Coast Lib Travels 2300 Miles to “Abort” Brett Kavanaugh

Everything Comes from Somewhere
You’ve heard the phrase, maybe even used it. It is ubiquitous, an idiom. “[It] came out of nowhere.” But everything comes from somewhere. The deer from the woods. The rock from a hillside or the hand that threw it. So does life. It comes from someplace, and it has a beginning. Life doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It begins, like all things, from an identifiable point of origin.
SCOTUS Clerks Consider ‘Lawyering Up’ After Investigators into Dobbs Leak Want Cell Phone Data
The politicization of the United States Supreme Court has been escalating for decades, going back at least as far as the 1987 nomination of Robert Bork by President Ronald Reagan.
