King and Queen Obama don’t worry about scandals. The media protects them and isolates them from the scandals. People suffering in Oklahoma City and Moore from the tornado? You’ll have to wait until Sunday when Obama pays you a photo op visit. Until then, King and Queen Obama must party with Carole King. It’s kind [...] The post King and Queen Obama host another party at White House with Carole King appeared first on Fire Andrea Mitchell! .

IRS Official Lois Lerner “I Have Not Done Anything Wrong. I Have Not Broken Any Laws. I Have Not Violated any IRS Rules or Regulations.”

What a joke. Top IRS official Lois Lerner says to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in a prepared statement, “I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations.” Then like any innocent person who has done nothing wrong, pleads the 5th on the [...]

Is There Anything They Won’t Tax

The Corner  | Links  | Related | May 22, 2013 11:15 PM EST

In Connecticut, reported  Wednesday’s New Haven Register , “Some Democratic state lawmakers are proposing to raise the 1 percent tax on such products to match the state's 6.35 percent sales tax, making Connecticut one of nearly two dozen states to extend sales taxes to downloaded products.” When I read this on the train earlier, I couldn’t help but whistle the tune from the 1952 revival of the Kaufman/Ryskind/Gershwins musical Of   Thee I Sing , the “Senatorial Roll Call,” where lawmakers merrily break out singing: The people think they've got taxation. Ha! Ha! Ha! Just wait for further legislation. Ha! Ha! Ha! Today is really full of laughter. Ho! Ho! Ho! Compared to what will follow after! Ho! Ho! Ho! With fury though you may be seething. Ha! Ha! Ha! Just wait...

Burnside headed back to the Sixth Circuit

SCOTUSblog  | Links  | Related | May 22, 2013 11:02 PM EST

Last week in Burnside v. Walters, the Court took the fairly unusual step of granting cert. without having first received a brief from any of the respondents in the case:  the case’s online docket indicates that the Court called for a response in mid-February, but apparently none ever arrived.  The petition for certiorari (along with [...]

Gun Rights Groups File Lawsuit against state of Conn. over gun law

Riehl World View  | Links  | Related | May 22, 2013 10:58 PM EST

Because rights is a terrible thing to waste. A group of Connecticut organizations that support gun rights, pistol permit holders and gun sellers filed a lawsuit in federal court Wednesday against Gov.  Dannel P. Malloy  and other state officials, arguing the state's new gun control law violates their constitutional rights. The plaintiffs are seeking a federal court injunction to stop the law from being enforced. Wednesday's suit comes more than a month after Malloy signed into law a wide-ranging gun control package that extends the state's assault weapons ban to more guns, bans large-capacity magazines and expands background check requirements. Considered one of the toughest laws in the country, it was a response to the Dec. 14 massacre at  Sandy Hook Elementary School . Lead...

Alleged Twit-and-Run Driver Emma Way Brags on Twitter, Joins Other 'Crime-Braggers'

Riehl World View  | Links  | Related | May 22, 2013 10:47 PM EST

No, really? But some of the other cases are even worse. I mean, all cute little Emma Way here did was knock down someone on a bike. She didn't behead him, or anything. The criminal mind can be cunningly brilliant—or stunningly foolish. You can safely put Emma Way of the U.K. into that second category. She’s the aggressive 21-year-old motorist who allegedly hit a  cyclist  while out for a drive in the city of Norwich, f led the scene, and bragged about it  on Twitter on Monday. Her admission was soon retweeted more than 300 times, inspiring angry responses and the nickname “twit and run girl” by fellow Twitter users. They also retweeted her brag to the social-media savvy Norfolk police department, who wrote back, we have had tweets ref an RTC with a bike. We suggest you report it at a...

A Fifth of Obama

The Corner  | Links  | Related | May 22, 2013 10:07 PM EST

You can always rely on the administration of Barack Obama, a former constitutional-law lecturer (or as his résumé-inflating fans put it, 'professor'), to do the sleazy thing when it comes to the Constitution the president is sworn to defend. Thus, the performance on Wednesday of Lois Lerner, chief of the Obama IRS’s Conservative Harassment Division, before the House oversight committee. There’s an old scam criminal defendants occasionally pull. They give a bit of exculpatory direct testimony -- just enough to gaze plaintively at the jurors and swear, cross-their-hearts, that they are pure as the driven snow. Then, just as the moment of submitting to cross-examination approaches, they announce that, even though they're really, truly innocent, they just can't answer the mean prosecutor’s questions -- on...
