Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan – Ed Whelan, National Review
In true Obama administration form, the President is going to nominate an academic to the Supreme Court, current Solicitor General Elena Kagan. Kagan has no judicial experience, zero, zip, nada. She doesn’t even have much real world legal experience, and her scholarship record is scanty to say the least. Getting a read on her interpretation of the Constitution will be immeasurably difficult for the Senate and is par for the course with the Obama machine. Obama was elected as a no-experience blank slate that people could assume nearly anything they wanted about. Kagan will be the same. Once she is unleashed on the Supreme Court, she will then be free to muck things up just as badly as Barack Obama has done. – Dick Young
The Markets Have Good Reasons To Be Nervous – Andy Kessler, The Wall Street Journal
Euro governments are swimming in debt, just like the U.S. The people of Greece are right to be angry at their government. They have had their country mismanaged for decades and now they are being asked to pick up the slack for generations before them. It’s a scenario that could become all too familiar here in the U.S. soon. – Dick Young
Gillespie the Coordinator – Robert Costa, National Review
The Resurgent Republic strategy being fostered and nurtured by Ed Gillespie and others on the conservative right will help to offset the overwhelming funding of the George Soros backed Center for American Progress and Democracy Corps on the left. The GOP needs a structure like this to compete in elections, and it’s about time they developed one. – Timothy Jones
The Taxman Cometh – Grover Norquist, Human Events
Only someone with foul intentions would need to create a National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to determine a way to shrink the deficit. If it’s not apparent that spending cuts are the only way to reduce the deficit without raising taxes, should you really be the President of the United States? This commission is nothing more than a fraudulent attempt to out maneuver the Republicans in congress to claim “bipartisanship” using some Republicans that aren’t even in government anymore. The GOP on the commission aren’t accountable to voters and therefore can do whatever they want without any repercussions at all. That’s going to end up in higher taxes for you. That’s very similar to taxation without representation, although the Democrats in congress will surely vote to approve the taxes recommended by the commission. They’ll make a big deal about how hard it is for them to raise your taxes, but in the end all it will take is their ‘aye’ vote and it will be over. – Dick Young
U.S. Considers ‘Malfeasance’ in Leak – Damian Paletta and Fawn Johnson, The Wall Street Journal
After the failure of the “containment dome” that BP set over the top of the leaking oil well, it will now attempt a “junk shot.” The junk shot is a procedure in which material is injected into the leaking well to plug it up. – Dick Young
