Here’s Rick Santorum’s Twitter reaction to today’s developments regarding the homosexuals of California. Did he read the news? Rights were restored! Good heavens sweet Jesus man. But maybe we’re wrong. Let’s see what the responses to this were like, on Twitter.
The despised liberal 9th Circuit federal appeals court, which Newt Gingrich has pledged to pipe-bomb on his first day as president, ruled today that California’s Proposition 8, a law in which a bunch of out-of-state Mormons took away marriages from same-sex married couples, is unconstitutional. This upheld the original ruling by district court Judge Vaughn [...]
Look, people who are constantly asking him for jobs in his inevitable administration, Herman Cain is not interested in your silly Muslims! They are allowed to practice their religion in private, just like Baptists or Catholics or other Christians. That’s it; no serving in the judiciary for them. Just like Baptists or Catholics or other [...]
A California federal judge has issued an injunction stopping the military from enforcing its “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in uniform. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled Tuesday that the policy “infringes the fundamental rights” of military service members and prospective service members, violates their due process [...]
Home foreclosures are up 25 percent, which is probably why everyone is just getting so high. More than 2.3 million homes have been repossessed by lenders since the Greatest Recession began three years ago. And what has Obama done to help Real Americans keep their trailer-homes, since obviously he is to blame for everything bad [...]
A huge victory for Freedom: A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that former prisoners of the CIA could not sue over their alleged torture in overseas prisons because such a lawsuit might expose secret government information. Everybody already knows we torture people. It is not “secret government information.”
More proof that Barack Obama is … Nixon? A determined Republican stall campaign in the Senate has sidetracked so many of the men and women nominated by President Barack Obama for judgeships that he has put fewer people on the bench than any president since Richard Nixon at a similar point in his first term [...]
In today’s Judicial Branch news, the American Supreme Court has ruled that “suspects must explicitly tell police they want to be silent to invoke Miranda protections during criminal interrogations.” Ha ha, that doesn’t sound… cool… come on, WHAT? HUH? Man, if you’re a conservative (hi all three of you reading this!), the Roberts appointment kind [...]
James O’Keefe and his Watergate Jr. friends, including PENIS MONOLOGUES guy and the one Facebook-banging Scott Brown’s daughter, have had their federal charges reduced to a single misdemeanor, for being assholes on Federal property. Smells like a plea bargain! Are they going to rat out their Overlord Andrew Breitbart’s illegal Sugar Caves, or something else? [...]
NERDY MCNERDWICH: “As if James O’Keefe hasn’t suffered enough indignity after botching an alleged phone tampering operation at a U.S. senator’s office, getting arrested, and being photographed leaving jail, the judge in the case has now ordered that he reside with his parents until the next hearing.” [TPM]
News flash: Republicans were completely right about something, as usual. The Democrats and their liberal “justice system” poo-pooed all of those fears that Al Qaeda terrorists were 15-foot-tall monsters with superpowers who would escape from custody and murder people in their gardens if prosecuted in U.S. courts. Well, this actual court photograph from today seems [...]
THE WORST DECISION ANY MEMBER OF ANY SPECIES OF ANY GENUS HAS MADE SINCE THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION, OR EARLIER: Andy McCarthy is easily the nuttiest wingnut on National Review‘s The Corner — the #1 Internet blog — and it was a delight to read his reaction to the announcement of KSM’s trial in New York [...]
GAY MARRIAGE LEGAL IN IOWA: The Iowa Supreme Court has released its big gay marriage ruling and guess what, it ruled that denying gay marriage is unconstitutional. The gays can now get married in America’s Heartland! Iowa, everyone is so nice there. Everyone was so nice to us there on our convention road trip last [...]
