Hump Day Report: SCOTUS Rules on AZ Immigration Law
ALOHA, ALL!! So what does it mean? The Supreme Court ruled today on the Arizona immigration law and both sides – those opposed to the law and those supporting it – are claiming victory. The overseas press has reported as well. Here’s The Daily Mail: Blow to Obama as Supreme Court Upholds Controversial Portion of Arizona Immigration Law So while SCOTUS upheld the portion that law enforcement officers (while in the process of enforcing other laws) can check the status of someone they suspect in an illegal, is this a win for those who want stricter immigration laws? How about those of us who basically want enforcement of the laws we already have (despite an Executive Order by Obama that thumbs his/its nose at the law)? I could re-invent the wheel and write an original post on this, but check out what my fellow blogger, Smart Girl and friend Shannon has to say: In The Gap – Court Ruling on AZ SB 1070 My sentiments exactly.
Polling before the ruling: 55% Want SCOTUS To Uphold Arizona Law ”Most voters still want an immigration law like Arizona’s in their own state and hope the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the legality of the Arizona law this week. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% of Likely U.S. Voters would like to see the Supreme Court uphold the law that Arizona adopted to reduce illegal immigration in the state. Just 26% would like to see the high court overturn the law. Nineteen percent (19%) are undecided.”
And what if the SCOTUS ruling on immigration is applied to other hot topic state’s rights issues? Here’s an interesting perspective: What Does The SCOTUS Ruling on SB 1070 Really Mean?

Time will tell if the SCOTUS ruling is a positive or negative step. In the meantime, see the Final Thought below.
Final Thought: ”Quite simply, federal laws already on the books aimed at stopping the flow of illegal immigration must be enforced. Furthermore, states must be given the resources necessary to confront the problem, which includes strengthening the border patrol.” Allen West

Hump Day Report: You WILL Vote – Or Else!
ALOHA, ALL!! So have you heard the latest? Obama minions are now calling for mandatory voting. That’s right….you WILL vote and like it! Faced with the prospect of a landslide loss in November, it seems Barry’s supporters want to force people to vote. Wow. But don’t even consider making people show IDs when voting. That’s racist and suppresses voting. (Sidebar: I’ve often wondered if making people show IDs to board an airplane suppresses flying. The outrage!)

We know SCOTUS has to rule on Obamacare, but what else? Supreme Court Saves Best For Last ”As usual, the Supreme Court, although close to the end of its term, is in no hurry to decide its big cases. The court ruled Thursday against the FCC in the indecency case, saying it didn’t give fair notice to broadcasters. But many big cases remain to be decided at the end of the 2011-12 term.”
GREAT analysis! The Paternalism of Obamacare Supporters ”The paternalistic pre-postmortem of ObamaCare by its supporters is entirely consistent with the paternalistic nature of the legislation itself. At every step, the crafters of the legislation have behaved as though the people covered by the law were too stupid to have their own opinions on it.”
Brian Terry’s parents speak out. White House is “Lying” “I probably couldn’t say on camera what I would like to say to him,” Ken Terry said regarding his feelings toward President Barack Obama. “I was very furious. I was very upset,” he added, speaking about when he first found out about the concept of gunwalking and the fact that it was linked to his son’s death. “It’s like a bad dream, like I’m going to wake up.”

Hump Day Report: Sieg Heil, Barack Obama!
ALOHA, ALL!!! If there was any doubt that Barack Obama wanted to be a tyrannical despot, it was completely erased this week. Obama had the nerve to chastise the Supreme Court while they deliberate the fate of Obamacare. Not only was this an over-reaching and inappropriate move by Obama, it gave insight into what 4 more years of his reign would entail. More intimidation of those who dare to challenge him. More blatant disregard of the Constitution. More lies and Chicago thug tactics. Had enough yet?
Obama: I sure hope the Supreme Court doesn’t do something unprecedented by striking down ObamaCare « Hot Air ”This is just Obama laying the narrative groundwork for the benefit of all the non-lawyers watching at home who don’t know enough to fact check him. He wants to plant the idea that striking down the mandate would be the most unique, extraordinary, sensational, unbelievable, unprecedented decision in Supreme Court history evah so that, if it does happen, people will regard it as illegitimate and that’ll hopefully rally them to turn out in the fall.”
Mark Levin has something to say: Mark Levin methodically rips apart Obama’s SCOTUS intimidation statement » The Right Scoop ”Mark Levin goes through Obama’s statement today, segment by segment, and does the job the MSM won’t do in pointing out the lies and truths in Obama’s statement.”
Smackdown! One judge calls Obama’s bluff: Appeals court fires back at Obama’s comments on health care case – Crossroads – CBS News ”In the escalating battle between the administration and the judiciary, a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president’s bluff — ordering the Justice Department to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law, according to a lawyer who was in the courtroom.”
More examples of Obama’s tyrannical rule: Red Tape Rising: Obama-Era Regulations ”During the three years of the Obama Administration, a total of 106 new major regulations[3] have been imposed at a cost of more than $46 billion annually, and nearly $11 billion in one-time implementation costs. This amount is about five times the cost imposed by the prior Administration of George W. Bush.” And Obama has the gall to criticize the Supreme Court as unelected officials making decisions?
Either Obama is blatantly disrespecting the law or he has no idea how the separation of powers is intended to work. A brilliant Constitutional law professor? I think not.
Four more years?

Hump Day Report: The Biggest Story You Haven’t Heard
ALOHA, ALL! There’s s news story that would be making all the headlines if the person involved was not Barack Obama. It’s the investigation by Sheriff Joe Arpaio into Barry’s forged documents. Sheriff Joe has not only shown that the long-form birth certificate released by the White House is a fabrication, now he’s got proof that Barry/Barack. Soetoro/Obama’s selective service registration is a forgery. Check these out:

Sheriff Joe Threat | Birther Inquiry | Tennessee Man | The Daily Caller
And even though our crack journalists here in the United States aren’t interested, the story is making big news overseas. How about this unlikely source: Russian Radio Interviews Sheriff Joe On Obama Forgery | Western Journalism.com
But one positive thing that’s come from all of this: Arizona State Legislators Revive Eligibility Law | Western Journalism.com ”Arizona, which was at the forefront of last year’s effort among state legislatures to require documentation of candidates’ eligibility for the office they seek, is returning to the controversy, with a proposal by Rep. Carl Seel, R-Phoenix, that would require candidates to sign an affidavit affirming they meet the requirements.”
Stay tuned, folks. This story is NOT going away. Sheriff Joe has even more information that he hasn’t yet released and reportedly has a “person of interest” he thinks is involved in the fabrication of the long-form birth certificate.

The case rests. What Happened in the Supreme Court Obamacare Hearings ”For the past three days, the nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court heard a series of arguments on Obamacare — what promises to be one of the most seminal decisions in the Court’s history. Now that the dust has settled, it appears more than likely that President Obama’s signature health care law is on the verge of being struck down — perhaps even in its entirety.”
Epic Fail – again! Consistency: Obama budget fails to get a single Democratic vote … again « Hot Air ”This is the second year in a row that Obama’s budget couldn’t win a single Democratic vote in Congress.
