The founders appealed to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" in the Declaration, but we live in a time when a near third give no credence to facts.

This administration is rather proud of using its inherent powers to crush opposition while rewarding its puppets.

They do something illegal, carefully and trepidatiously, fearing being caught. When they don't get caught, they do it again, less cautiously. And then again, boldly, thinking nobody is noticing. And that's when they get caught. Each successful crime makes it easier to justify the next one--until the handcuffs go on.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-29776658219387512412012-01-09T11:50:36.402-05:002012-01-09T11:50:36.402-05:00LawHawk - Silly me, I forgot that our esteemed Con...LawHawk - Silly me, I forgot that our esteemed Congresscritters get to engage in activities that we mere mortals cannot like insider trading and preferential treatment from those for whom our esteemed Cc's should have a conflict of interest.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-85511848263578497602012-01-09T11:50:34.417-05:002012-01-09T11:50:34.417-05:00Patti: There's an old saying that God doesn&#...Patti: There's an old saying that God doesn't give us more than we can handle.

There will suddenly be more new claimants than original applicants, but the big winners will be those who support Obama. When the DOJ uses what its supporters <i>allege</i> to bludgeon free enterprise rather than prove facts in a court of law, we're in serious danger of a complete collapse of the rule of law. This isn't law, it's pure race-based politics. At least in <i>Pigford</i> there was some actual proof of some racial discrimination at the start, but like Topsy, it just growed.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-28426534228444540402012-01-09T11:33:31.524-05:002012-01-09T11:33:31.524-05:00Indi: I don't credit him with a lot of innate...Indi: I don't credit him with a lot of innate intelligence.
