DAVID HOGBERG: ObamaCare a ‘Surreal’ Trainwreck. “How bizarre has Obamacare become? Well, bizarre enough that for the first that I can remember, I find myself agreeing with Howard Dean. As you’ll see in the clip below, Dean questions whether President Obama has the legal authority to allow people to keep their health plans. . . . But, as has often been the case with Obamacare, the president will disregard the law. Finding myself in agreement with Howard Dean is surreal. So is watching a president ignore the rule of law with impunity.”

LAW ENFORCEMENT: Give Us Cash or Lose Your Kids and Face Felony Charges: Don’t Cops Have Better Things to Do?! “Imagine getting pulled over while on a family vacation and having small-town cops accuse you and your family of being drug couriers. Then imagine hearing that you have two options: Fork over your cash and continue on your vacation or face felony charges for money laundering and child endangerment, in which case you go to jail and your kids get handed over to foster care. That’s what happened to Ron Henderson and Jennifer Boatright while traveling through Tenaha, Texas, a town that regards piracy as just another way to raise revenue.” Tar. Feathers.

CHIEF WEEMS: Apparently, Tone Does Make A Difference.

The lead officer stated that he stopped the guy solely for being armed, which is clearly contrary to numerous holdings by the United States Supreme Court, and made numerous references to shoot the individual in the head. This leads to the question of whether these same people would be okay with being stopped when legally carrying simply for carrying and then being threatened with being shot in the head. The Reasonable Articulable Suspicion standard for an investigative (Tier 2) stop requires specific and articulable facts when taken together and based upon the officer’s knowledge, training, and experience lead the officer to believe that criminal activity is afoot. Is it reasonable to believe that just because someone is armed that they are a mass shooter?

The officer does have an even tone, and under the circumstances of the contact, his tone could even be described as somewhat genial. The officer then sets forth to lecture the individual concerning his open carrying in such a manner as being ultimately detrimental to Second Amendment rights. With this part, I actually am in large part in agreement; however, this is simply a personal opinion. I do understand that my personal opinion is not a valid reason to shoot people in the head, or any other part of their anatomy.

Law enforcement officers need better training regarding the rights of armed civilians — and, for that matter, the rights of civilians in general.

PETER SUDERMAN: President Obama Admits That ObamaCare is Unworkable. “This president’s announcement today that the White House will allow health insurance companies to continue selling plans that do not meet the Affordable Care Act’s minimum criteria—-millions of which have already been subject to cancellation notices—-is likely to be a pivotal moment in the political fight over the 2010 health law. It’s the moment in which President Obama, prodded by his own party, is making his first, tacit admission that Obamacare is unworkable. . . . What the administration is really doing, though, is attempting to shift the blame. Insurers have spent months if not years preparing for the changes and requirements enacted under Obamacare. They will have a difficult time turning on a dime and extending cancelled policies. But now when people lose their plans, the White House and its Democratic allies in Congress will be able to argue that this isn’t a result of their law. It’s the insurers’ fault.”

SO, HOW’S THAT “SMART DIPLOMACY” STUFF WORKIN’ OUT? John McCain Thinks John Kerry Is a ‘Human Wrecking Ball.’ “Our whole policy in the Middle East—and it reverberates around the world, by the way—is in such disarray that I have never seen anything like it in my lifetime.” This is just more support for my theory that Kerry was appointed to make Hillary’s unimpressive tenure as Secretary of State look good by comparison.
