Remember: presidents take an oath to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution, not Supreme Court rulings.
More great news: The Wisconsin Assembly passed a bill stripping public sector unions of the ability to gouge taxpayers through negotiating excessive benefit plans with the people they bankrolled into office. All this after 60 hours of debate. That's how the process is supposed to work. Meanwhile, Democratic senators are still AWOL.
Republicans have offered a Continuing Resolution that will keep government going right through September and will reduce spending. If the Democrats want to grind government to a halt, let 'em.
If the federal government shuts down, surely we can do better than we did in 1995. "Essential" workers are those needed to protect human life, property and national security. But in 1995, according to the GAO, Commerce kept 64% of its staff, and Interior 53%. HHS kept over 40% of staff in place. At HUD and at regulatory agencies, 78% kept right on working. That's ridiculous. Not a single worker in any of these agencies is "essential" for the preservation of either life, property or national defense.
The federal government owns 25% of all the land in U.S. Here's an idea to reduce debt: sell some of it. The U.S. is sitting on $767 billion worth of land and $421 billion in mineral rights.
Planned Parenthood in 2008 took in $349.6 million from taxpayers and performed 324,008 abortions. It's way past time to defund this organization.
Planned Parenthood's genocidal attack on African-Americans continues. According to the CDC, African-American women continue to have the highest abortion rates in the country. Though they comprise just 12% of population, 34% of all abortions are performed on African-American women. Abortion rates among blacks are 3 to 4 times what they are for whites. Planned Parenthood is doing Hitler's job for him in the U.S.
Afghan women's shelters will soon be run by govt committed to Sharia law. What could go wrong with that? Bye-by protection for women from forced marriages and honor killings.
