The DC Circuit opinion.

Very interesting. If this holds up, and I believe it will, this will end up putting even bigger limitations on "recess" appoints than ever.

Amazing that these days a Federal Court of Appeals will uphold the plain meaning of the language in the Constitution.

Will Obama appeal to the Supremes, or will he not take the chance?

Rand Paul to John Kerry: If it was wrong to bomb Cambodia without Congress’s approval, why is bombing Libya without approval okay?

From over at Hot Air. Kerry and the leftist Democrats are the biggest hypocrites in history, with a lot of lying as well.

Kerry thought bombing Cambodia to assist our own troops was somehow criminal without Congress' approval, but somehow it is OK to bomb Libya without any approval. And just because the President wanted to assist people who turn out to be our enemies.

Hope and Change.

Tar and feathers!

I see where West Va. Democrat Manchin can go along with stronger background checks on gun buyers.

You know, that sounds good, but who is going to do the background checks on those that steal guns? LOL

The current background checks would do the job pretty well if the governments involved would keep up the databases. Unfortunately, they will just throw up more red tape, but won't get the crazies in the databases. Silly.

But this is more about control that it is about guns, anyway. Am seriously considering re-joining the NRA just to thumb my nose at the controllers.

Doubt if I will be able to vote are support any politician that votes to "strengthen" gun control without addressing getting the crazies in the databases and taking steps to limit their capability to get possession of the guns. Democrats will probably oppose that simply because so many of them would make the list. LOL

Aussies hit black gold. It could be the equal of Saudi Arabia. You can bet they will exploit it. Just as you can bet that the Luddites (Democrats) here in the US will try to impede our development of our own resources.

These new processes are going to revolutionize the energy business, and all of the industries that need abundant energy.

That means a lot more jobs and a lot more commerce, while at the same time, it makes the Middle East more irrelevant.

That will mean that Democrats will fight it, just like they are fighting the Keystone Pipeline.

What in the world are those people thinking?

China passes US auto market in first half sales

It was bound to happen sometime. Associated Press is reporting that the Chinese car market has surpassed the United States for the first half of this year.

No matter that we are in a severe recession, this is a big blow that has been coming on for a generation.

Poor fiscal management by our government and by the people for the last few decades is catching up with a vengenace.

Extremely poor management and greedy unions, along with government interference, has ruined our domestic auto industry. Now, much of it has been nationalized.

All of the above have driven a lot of our manufacturing capability overseas, with a goodly part to China.

Our economy was said to be fine, because we had the "services" industry, primarily meaning that the big financial institutions were thriving.

Well, now were are seeing the results of all of that.

We have spent trillions trying to cover the losses by the "service" industry, we are in a deep recession because of their excesses, and jobs are continuing to disappear at a frightening rate.

In spite of this, our politicians insist on trying to revive the same old economic paradigm that has led us to this situation.

Both Republicans and Democrats are responsible.

The ball is now in the Democrats' court and they are utterly failing to consider proper policies, instead wanting to borrow and spend our way out of a deep hole caused by borrowing and spending far too much.

They are still digging, and the hole is getting deeper by the day.

Climate change deal fails

The Times (London) is reporting that the major developing countries (China, India) are refusing to set a target for reducing their emissions targets unless the developed countries reduce their targets substantially by 2020.

Anyone who thinks that they will do any such thing is dreaming. They will gain a great advantage over the developed countries if those countries follow the liberal pied pipers down the lane of unilateral reductions.

If Obama's "cap and trade" legislation should pass, it would leave our industries even more at the mercy of China and India. It would be like handing them millions of jobs for nothing.

Yet the left in our country, obsessed with the "chicken little" aspects of alleged "global warming" would lead us down that path, and right in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression.

That makes a lot of sense, doesn't?
