The AP Does Constitutional Law Analysis

On Health Care and an individual mandate this way:

Constitutional law experts say the movement is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states

(Uncited) Constitutional Law experts come to the sophisticated conclusion that Federal laws supersede those of the states. Period. Really? And what is symbolic about an actual, compelled law suit in a real, actual court of law anyway?

Constitutional Law experts Randy Barnett and Eugene Volokh arrive at a different, slightly more nuanced conclusion.

We Are Totally Screwed (cont.)

EPA declares carbon dioxide to be a pollutant via Clean Air Act.

An Agency takes a broad mission, fills in the blanks with its own politicized agenda using pseudo-science as its justification which will lead to the collapse of a number of industries during a recession. Wash, rinse, repeat for Health Care.

Update: What this guy says.

The Speech to End All Speeches on Health Care

or so we hope.

This is the best/most fun analysis and play-by-play

Yeah, but...

did he have health insurance? Or was he turned away from the hospital to die in an alley way?

The New Voice for Obama's Health Care Marketing Campaign

He's a doctor too- so he knows of what he speaks:

If I've learned one thing

being married to a nurse- you don't mess with nurses.

State College, Pa. - Nancy Snyder says she kept quiet when abortion was legalized and prayer in schools was eliminated. Not this time. “They did it for prayer, they did it for abortion, and they're not going to do it for our health care,” the 70-year-old nurse from Philipsburg, Pa., said Wednesday as she and her husband Robert, 74, a retired coal miner, waited in a long, snaking line for Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter's town hall meeting.

Translated: "No more runnin'. I aim to misbehave." Just another member of the Angry Mob.

Is back, baby!

That sound you just heard was that of the health care bill being beaten, stabbed, drowned, electrocuted, and strangled...by its own proponents.

Give 'Em Hell

On Obamacare.

Via Instapundit.

I believe we should take care of the sick and the infirm. I think we do that fairly well. We would probably do it even better without Medicare, without insurance tied to employment, and with a better national market vs. state regulation. That being said, this bill is going to be a disaster and it's line in the sand time. I say this as someone married to a healthcare provider too.

Health Care Gnomes

Doing work!

Obama and Health Care

What's the plan, exactly?

And the corrollary- Why is this needed right now?

Don't worry, health care gnomes to the rescue!

Who will end up with more governmental monuments to himself, Obama or Ramses II?

Ramses II was also interested in architecture and that interest resulted in the erection of more monuments than any of the other ancient Egyptian pharaohs. A significant number of architectural tributes still dominate the landscape of Egypt today, attributed to Ramses 2. The Ramses II monument at Abu Simbel is the most famous of all. Menataph, son of Ramses II, gained control of the throne upon the death of his father and the 19th Dynasty ended with his rule.
