How Novel
By contradicting two prior opinions, Monday’s court ruling in Virginia against the Obama health care law highlighted both the novelty of the constitutional issues and the difficulty of forging consensus among judges who bring differences in experience, philosophy and partisan background to the bench. (NYT, 12/14/10)
Let’s review: Two prior opinions upheld Obamacare. Suddenly a third judge disagrees. And so the New York Times now wants to talk about judicial partisanship!
The Colonel
Here’s Sanders — a train robber with the audacity to accuse the passengers of “making out like bandits” simply for hanging on to what he couldn’t manage to steal. (Michelle Malkin, 12/12/2010)
Best description of Colonel Sanders that we have heard in a while.
The Bernie Talkathon
Progressives, who have dismissed the charge of socialism as a libel, seemed happy to accept ideological leadership from a self-described democratic socialist. (Michael Gerson, Washington Post, 12/14/10)
Good one from Gerson.
So...Obamacare's mandate forcing people to buy something that they don't want, may have overstepped the Constitution's commerce clause...what a novel idea.
