A report issued today by a United Nations agency appears to be a thinly veiled critique of Arizona’s immigration law, one that equates its supporters with “xenophobes and racists.” The Global Migration Group adopted its statement on the “Human Rights of Migrants in Irregular Situation” — that is, illegal aliens — earlier today in Geneva.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the U.S. permits a president to make “recess appointments” without Senate confirmation by filling an office when Congress is in recess. Though originally intended to put necessary officials in place during the once long Congressional recesses, in recent times recess appointments have been used primarily to circumvent Senate approval — usually because of ideological controversy surrounding the nominee.

The nation’s most seethingly secular president is having his day in the religious sun. “Obama increasingly talking publicly about his Christian faith,” reads a headline in The Seattle Times.

Dana Milbank has written an article for today’s edition of The Washington Post entitled, “Valerie Jarrett: The real center of Obama’s inner circle.” In it, Milbank properly writes no matter who replaces Rahm Emanuel as Barack Obama’s chief of staff, “the real power” resides “upstairs from the Oval Office, in the second-floor quarters of Valerie Jarrett.” However, Milbank omits the fact that Jarrett is a left-wing extremist who has served … Read the Rest of this Post

The American dream is dead — for many native-born Americans, anyhow.

The flagship publication of the conservative movement has joined the call to investigate Barack Obama’s Justice Department. In his his article on NRO entitled “Investigate Racism in the Obama Justice Department,” Andrew C. McCarthy agrees the department’s racially charged dismissal of the Black Panther case represents a “crime” and Congress has the Constitutional obligation to end the “criminalization of the Justice Department.”

It’s should be called the law of unintended consequences, and Congress should learn to abide by it, taking enough time to discover whether the road they choose to follow is smooth or filled with ruts.

Back in 2007, the Congress in their wisdom ruled that starting in the year 2012 the ordinary incandescent light bulbs we’ve been using for ages must be phased out and completely regulated away by 2014. They are … Read the Rest of this Post
