Federalism , Bond Vs United States, and Treaty Power
Post Date: 2012-09-01 22:00:12 by A K A Stone

When we last we heard of the case of Bond v. United States, the Supreme Court had ruled that a criminal defendant can challenge the constitutionality of a federal statute she was charged with violating on the grounds that it exceeds the scope of congressional power under the Constitution. In a rare unanimous decision on a federalism issue, the Court ruled that “[f]ederalism secures the freedom of the individual” as well as the prerogatives of state governments. Therefore, individuals as well as states have standing to raise federalism-based challenges to federal statutes.
However, the case is not over. When it was returned to the lower federal courts for a decision on the merits, the US ...
2012 Obama vs Romney: the illusion of choice

Come November, the American people will be faced with two distinct options, reelect President Barack Obama or vote for Mitt Romney. The liberal Democrat and the Republican conservative seem to stand in stark contrast. They come from different backgrounds and have different views on most social issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, immigration. On the surface, Romney and Obama appear to be conflicting in ideas and ideals on all fronts. The popular perception is that Romney and Obama represent polices that are polar opposites of each other. But this perception is absolutely false. In reality, when it comes to the most critical issues effecting America today like national debt, bank and ...
Federal Court Rejects Texas Voter Id Law As Unfair To Hispanics, African-Americans

WASHINGTON — A federal court has ruled against a Texas law that would require voters to present photo IDs to election officials before being allowed to cast ballots in November. A three-judge panel in Washington ruled Thursday that the law imposes "strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor" and noted that racial minorities in Texas are more likely to live in poverty. The decision involves an increasingly contentious political issue: a push, largely by Republican-controlled legislatures and governor's offices, to impose strict identification requirements on voters. The ruling comes in the same week that South Carolina's strict photo ID law is on trial in front of ...

Michael Rozeff’s post on the Lew Rockwell blog is correct: “Obama Will Win.” Rozeff asserts that “Ron Paul was the strongest candidate for the nomination, but the Republicans chose to die instead…” The so-called conservatives in America who preferred a socialist Big Government Establishment crackpot like Romney will nominate him and sweep Obama to a second term.

We are in terrible straits this presidential election. We have a choice between a president who has posed more of a danger to personal freedom than any in the past 150 years and a Republican team that wants to return to Bush-style big government. President Barack Obama has begun to show his hand at private fundraisers and in unscripted comments during his campaign. And the essence of his revelations is dark. His vision of a shared prosperity should frighten everyone who believes in freedom, because it is obvious that the president doesn’t. He believes the federal government somehow possesses power from some source other than the Constitution that enables it to take from the rich and ...

The shooting spree that killed 12 people in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater on Friday has sparked a public debate about the availability of automatic weapons. Gun control advocates argue that mass murder is exceedingly difficult without them. One source told the Washington Post, “It’s kind of hard to be a pseudo-commando with a musket in the 18th century.” How did people commit mass murder before the advent of automatic weapons? Often with fire. Revolutionary War veteran Barnett Davenport is widely considered the first mass murderer in U.S. history. On the evening of Feb. 3, 1780, Davenport burst into the bedroom of his employer, Caleb Mallory, and began to bludgeon ...

During a press conference at the capitol on Tuesday, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CN) urged fellow lawmakers to pass his Internet spying bill in order to prevent what he dubbed “a cyber 9/11 or a 9/11 Pearl Harbor.” “The danger of cyber attacks against the United States is clear, present and growing, with enemies ranging from rival nations to cyber terrorists to organized criminal organizations to rogue hackers,” he said. The Cyberecurity Act of 2012 represents a compromise version of legislation the former Democrat has been pushing since 2010, which flips his originally proposed mandates and replaces them with a voluntary incentive plan — a move key to securing ...
How “Reproductive Rights” Conflict with Natural Right

“Reproductive rights.” That’s how Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion politicians have been terming the right to abortion. Recently, I’ve been reading about John Locke’s An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689) and his The Second Treatise of Government (1690). There’s a reason that Locke’s philosophy is timeless, why I still marvel at it after six years of learning about it, and why the world still marvels at it after 322 years. It’s because Locke scientifically concluded that man is born with rights and the state’s duty is to protect those rights. Unlike Thomas Hobbes, who argued that man’s life is short, nasty and brutish and ...

The idea that the very laws that the government is charged with enforcing could restrain the government itself is uniquely Western and was accepted with near unanimity at the time of the creation of the American Republic. Without that concept underlying the exercise of governmental power, there is little hope for freedom. The Rule of Law is a three-legged stool on ...

Obama’s Imperial Presidency Guts Welfare Reform Amy Payne The imperial Presidency has overturned Congress and the law again. Not content to stop at rewriting immigration policy, education policy and energy policy, yesterday, President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an official policy directive rewriting the welfare reform law of 1996. The new policy guts the federal work requirements that were the foundation of the Clinton-era reform. While this real news occurred yesterday, most of the media remained fixated on political ads and speeches, letting a major and unilateral shift in America’s welfare system go nearly unreported.

The Rutherford Institute is defending John Freshwater, who was suspended in 2008 and fired in 2010 from Mount Vernon Middle School for teaching alternative theories to evolution. "In most schools … they teach [evolution] as a fact. It's not a fact; it's still a theory. There are different viewpoints by people all the way from Albert Einstein to Ben Stein, the comedian," notes Institute president John Whitehead.

That statement feels wrong to me. It reeks of militia and McVeigh and toothless loons holed up with guns in cabins in order to avoid paying income taxes. But the fact remains that the rationale for the existence of the nation known as the United States of America, which first appeared in print 236 years ago today, is entirely dependent on the premise that there are indeed times “…when ...

The imperial presidency revisited Charles Krauthammer WASHINGTON — Though overshadowed by the shocking Supreme Court decision on health care, the court’s Arizona immigration decision, issued three days earlier, remains far more significant than appreciated. It was generally viewed as mixed or ambiguous because the Justice Department succeeded in striking down three of the law’s provisions. However, regarding the law’s central and most controversial element — requiring officers to inquire into the immigration status of anyone picked up for some other violation — the ruling was definitive, indeed unanimous. No liberal-conservative divide here. Not a single ...

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said that he is not in a hurry to implement the mandate. “We’ll look to the fall and if there is a new president and a new Senate that’s part of a Congress willing to change, that’s the next step — political,” Walker said. ...

The 1934 Dinner Party That May Have Helped Save Obamacare by Jonathan Alter Jul 1, 2012 4:45 AM EDT When FDR created Social Security, his labor secretary feared the court would reject it—until a justice told her over dinner that framing it as a tax could save it. By Jonathan Alter Could a 1934 Washington dinner party hold the key to Chief Justice John Roberts’ landmark decision on the Affordable Care Act In late 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had been in office more than a year and decided to move forward on what would become his greatest domestic achievement: Social Security. He assigned his secretary of labor, Frances Perkins, the first woman ever to serve ...

ON THURSDAY, the Supreme Court struck down, in a 6 to 3 ruling, the Stolen Valor Act of 2005, which declared it a federal misdemeanor to falsely present oneself as a decorated military officer. Likely to be overlooked in the wake of the Obamacare decision, the Court’s ruling in United States v. Alvarez is nevertheless a commendable reinforcement of the First Amendment and its sanctity. The case that became United States v. Alvarez began in 2007, when Xavier Alvarez, a California man, falsely and deliberately declared himself a retired Marine with 25 years of service and the “Congressional Medal of Honor.” He was tried and convicted in a California court under the terms of ...

In his deciding opinion in the cases challenging the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare), Chief Justice John Roberts first says the mandate in the law requiring individuals to buy health insurance is not a tax. Then he says it is a tax. He upholds the individual mandate—as a tax, not a penalty—as the law of the land. But then says it would not be "unlawful" for Americans to violate the law's mandate that they "shall" buy health insurance--as long as they are willing to pay the "penalty" for not obeying the law. Roberts first examines the question of whether the Anti-Injunction Act prohibits Americans from bringing suit ...

John Roberts, the Chief Justice, who put himself in the majority with the Court’s four liberals, and may have changed the definition of what we call “the Roberts Court”; President Barack Obama, whose first term was defined by it; our sense of how the balance of powers ought to work, and against, perhaps, our growing cynicism about the Court’s politicization (although there is a fine line between cynicism and simple prudence). A conservative court, and a conservative justice, upheld a law passed and treasured by liberals. This is not the ...
