District Judge Declares National Day of Prayer Unconstitutional
From the story: U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb wrote that the government can no more enact laws supporting a day of prayer than it can encourage citizens to fast during Ramadan, attend a synagogue or practice magic. An appeal is on the way (USA Today). She was appointed by Jimmy Carter (Judgepedia).
Obama: Tea Party Members Should Thank Me
Because so few people pay taxes. He still doesn’t get it (FOX News). Americans do get it, with the majority knowing their taxes are about to go up (Gallup). It might help Obama to read the Contract from America (The Contract). From Larry Kudlow: What’s so significant to me about this tea-party Contract from America is the strong emphasis on constitutional limits and restraints on legislation, spending, taxing, and government control of the economy. Undoubtedly, the emphasis is there because no one trusts Washington (Townhall).
Obama Orders Hospitals to Give Gays Marital Visitation Rights
And if they don’t, no Medicare or Medicaid money.
Biden Charitable Giving for 2009: $4,820
A paltry 1.44 percent of his income. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t say where the money went (Washington Times). But this is not unusual for Biden, who gave less than $4,000 over a ten year period (NRO).
Democrats Eye Vote on Cap and Trade
From the story: A long-awaited compromise bill to reduce U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming will be unveiled by a group of senators on April 26, sources said on Thursday. Later: The White House is also eager to show the rest of the world the United States is ready to take a leadership role on global warming, including to help kick-start stalled international efforts to tackle the problem. Despite vocal climate change skeptics in the United States, leading scientific groups have been hoping the United States, the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, would take action.
Wrong Twin Baby Aborted
Dr. Albert Mohler explains: A doctor in the city has lost his license because he aborted what is now described as the “wrong” baby. Back in 2006, Dr. Matthew Kachinas had been asked to perform an abortion on a baby that had been identified as having Down syndrome and other congenital defects. Instead, the doctor aborted that baby’s healthy twin. Later: The situation with Dr. Kachinas reveals the horribly confused morality that marks modern America and, in far too many cases, the practice of medicine.
Crash the Tea Party Founder Under Investigation
The story explains “The investigation by Oregon’s teacher licensing agency comes in response to a public outcry over Jason Levin’s public statements that he’ll do anything short of throwing rocks to bring down the Tea Party.” Here’s the great irony/hypocrisy: At the moment, the Beaverton School District is officially defending Levin’s actions as the district’s public information officer, Maureen Wheeler, told FoxNews.com “What this teacher does in his private time is his private personal business. So when he’s not in school, that’s his personal time and there’s just not a lot we can do.” Yet they’re telling their teachers not to talk to the press about Levin’s actions.
ACLU Helps Man Profit by Flipping Cop the Bird
The man did so in front of his kids. The ACLU believes flipping off cops is your right. They sued and the city settled.
