When Frusrtrated That You’ve Waited Hours For Your Doctor Appointment

“The problem is not reference to foreign law: It is how foreign law is used by judges who usurp powers reserved under the Constitution to the people and their elected representatives, and whose desire to “learn” is limited to finding arguments in support of conclusions that have little constitutional warrant. The learning process of the […]

He is the powerhouse Washington lawyer with the Ivy League degrees, the clerkship with the Supreme Court, the experience in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Office of the U.S. Solicitor General whose nomination to a federal appellate judgeship was killed by Senate Democrats. One line that Democrats offered up for […]

“New Orleans is where Homer Plessy boarded a first-class train coach in 1892, which sparked the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that legalized segregation nationwide. The Ninth Ward that Katrina pounded was the same Ninth Ward where four black first-grade girls braved racist taunts on national television in 1960, as they took their places […]

“The United States is a monster out of control. Unless we challenge it with absolute determination American barbarism will destroy the world. The country is run by a bunch of criminal lunatics, with Blair as their hired Christian thug. The planned attack on Iraq is an act of premeditated mass murder”. –playwright Harold Pinter, just […]

“President Bush almost had me convinced. For a while, it looked like the nation’s first MBA president put a high premium on merit. Of course, that was before last week and Bush’s underwhelming choice of his underqualified friend from Texas, Harriet Miers, to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. Now I feel like I’ve […]

HispanicPundit Will Be Slow For Next Couple Of Months
Published by in General and Website Info. 10 CommentsI am taking a really difficult class this quarter, and being the type of guy that has to study really hard to do good, I simply don’t have the time to continue blogging at my normal rate. Since I could never completely abandon politics, no matter how busy I get, I will still post, […]

“It has been conservatives who have been most up in arms about the Miers nomination - and can I single out here the broadcaster Laura Ingraham, who has been first and most forceful with this story? Not for a second has she wavered under the pressures that have been deployed against her and the others […]

Unions, Reducing Employment One Company At A Time
Published by in Economics, General and Unions. 6 CommentsOne of the largest auto part giants, Delphi, just filed for bankruptcy. Why, you ask? Here is one of the primary reasons:
It is the biggest bankruptcy filing in U.S. automotive history and promises to have a broad impact across the industry. The Troy, Michigan-based company has struggled since it was spun off from former parent […]

“There have just been too many instances of seeming conservatives being sent to the high Court, only to succumb to the prevailing vapors up there: O’Connor, Kennedy, Souter. Given that record, it is simply reckless for any conservative president to take a hazard on anything other than a known quantity of the highest intellectual and […]

Okay, I’m still mad at Bush for Miers, but this makes me dislike him a little less:
History buffs and Bush aficionados might like to know that the Bakersfield house isn’t the only such project: In Midland, Texas, a house occupied by the Bushes from 1952 to 1955 is under development as a museum called the […]

In Praise Of A Market Based Health Care System
Published by in Economics, General and HealthCare. 0 CommentsMichael Tanner, director of health and welfare studies at the Cato Institute, writes in the The Washington Times:
Twenty years of public policy research on health care recently came home to me in a very personal way when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Because I live in a country with a […]

“The Miers nomination, though, is an unforced error. Unlike the Roberts’s nomination, which confirmed the previous balance on the Court, the O’Connor resignation offered an opportunity to change the balance. This is the moment for which the conservative legal movement has been waiting for two decades–two decades in which a generation of conservative legal intellects […]

I Thought I Voted For The Conservative?
Published by in Economics, General and Judicial Nominees. 24 Comments…apparently not.
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on President Bush, and if I could still justify my vote for him. Clearly Bush is not a conservative on economics, take a look at the picture above - take a long good look at the picture above - he has spent more than Lyndon Johnson […]

“It is particularly dismaying that this act should have been perpetrated by the conservative party. For half a century, liberals have corrupted the courts by turning them into an instrument of radical social change on questions — school prayer, abortion, busing, death penalty — that properly belong to the elected branches of government. Conservatives have […]

Published by in Economics, General, Hispanics (Minority Issues) and Immigration. 0 Comments“Immigration isn’t the problem per se. The problem is the relative difference in living standards between residents of developing and developed countries. If the likes of Pat Buchanan and others with anti-free trade and anti-immigration positions wish to prevent the extensive multi-cultural society they abhor from happening in the U.S., they ought to consider the […]
