California Democratic Governor Jerry Brown was recently ordered by the court to fix the overcrowded prison conditions. He refused saying they did not have the money to build new prisons and he was not going to free criminals. So far this has saved taxpayers money.

My advice to the school board is to ignore the complaint. After all, the argument of the Freedom From Religion Foundation is based on the the First Amendment that says, “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” It does not say that a school board in Oklahoma cannot display the Ten Commandments in one of their schools and their is no federal law that says this. If the Freedom From Religion Foundation sues, then the school board should ask the state of Kentucky to be a party to the suit. If this happens, Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2: “In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.” They could use this clause to ignore any rulings from the lower federal courts and insist on being heard only in The Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court takes on the case and rules that because of the First Amendment, they must take down the Ten Commandments then refuse to do so using the nullification argument. The Supremacy Clause says, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” If the school board and the state of Oklahoma find the law is not “pursuant to the Constitution” then it is null and void and not to be followed. If the school board and the state of Oklahoma do not follow the Supreme Court ruling then all the Supreme Court can do is to go to the executive branch of the federal government to enforce their ruling. If this happens it would make for interesting times.

MacDonald v. Chicago and Roe v. Wade were both mistakes by nationalizing very controversial issues. Our country was founded as a federation to control the factions. To quote Madison, "The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States.”

Since there are income tax breaks to job based health care, one can eliminate the tax breaks, give tax breaks to individuals as well as employers, or repeal the 16th or income tax amendment. I prefer the later solution.

The whole idea of the Bill of Rights was to contain the federal government, not the state and local governments. If this was followed, there would be no national debate on gun control.

If Lincoln was a great president, he would have freed the slaves without war like the other nations.

The Republican Party is the party of Wall Street, not Main Street. Perhaps time for a new party or perhaps time to start taking the nullification movement seriously.

Star says, "In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in McDonald v. Chicago, that the 2nd Amendment, which articulates the “right to bear arms,” applies to the states." She is way off the liberty path to suggest this is a good ruling. The original intent of The Bill of Rights including the Second Amendment was only to apply to the federal government. Incorporating the 4th gave us Roe v. Wade. Incorporating the 10th will give us more federal gun control laws.

In MacDonald v. Chicago, 2010, The Supreme Court ruled that the right to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated to the states. This was a mistake. Connecticut should make any anti gun laws they see fit to do just as my state of Georgia should do the same.

Bonehead Boehner is incompetent. He should be hammering on spending cuts this year, not ten years into the future. Instead he lets Obama focus on tax hikes.
