Was Hoping SCOTUS Would Stick A Dagger Into Obamacare... quite the opposite, sadly

I believe I recommended the book "The Liberty Amendments" by Mark Levin. I think Pie would be interested in reading it...if he is a libertarian, or even a classical liberal. Using article V is the focus of the book, and Mark's suggestions are his belief that congress will not change for the better on it's own. It must come from the states. I know many libertarians and conservatives, and none are happy with congress at present.

You did recommend it, and I did look at it. I have some comments, but no time now.

Washington (CNN)The Supreme court on Thursday re-affirmed a federal law passed in 1968 to combat housing discrimination by holding that the law allows not only claims for intentional discrimination but also, claims that cover practices that have a discriminatory effect, even if they were not motivated by an intent to discriminate.

This ruling will go way beyond real estate and falls right in line with the ACA ruling. Words don't matter. Actions don't matter. Perceived intent is all that matters. This is what tyrannical governments are built on. Just make it up as you go along. Sue people, arrest people, imprison people, not because of what they actually did, but based on the perception of the supposed victim. And this perception is very fluid, changes with every whim of the tyrant.
I cannot believe that anyone, regardless of their political persuasion, doesn't see the disastrous ramifications of the door that the court just opened. At least not anyone who takes freedom seriously.

These matters are part of the public record. The Treasury realized an overall loss on the resurrection of General Motors, and a profit on the secured loans it made to AIG. The Tarp program which helped save banks with sufficient collateral is not quite complete, however it appears to be headed for an overall profit. My opinion is that in retrospect there are aspects of the government's response to the financial crisis that might have been better done and a few choices that might have been better made, but overall the rescue of the financial markets, and consequently the economy, was brilliantly executed by the Treasury and Federal Reserve working together. Bernanke has said, having to rescue AIG made him mad. One sometimes has to do things that one does not want to do because no reasonable alternative is at hand.

It was only after I showed you that the investment in GM was a loss, that you admitted that. Prior to that, you were saying it was profitable. You want the link to your post? The AIG was also a loss, but you don't want to accept that "creative accounting" made it a gain. As for the rest of your comments, yeah, you're Libertarian. What a laugh riot!

He's probably more of a classic liberal, but his values (at least his stated ones on this forum) fall in line with the left in today's world. From what I've seen, only the most devout and rabid liberals actually are OK admitting that they are, indeed, liberals. The rest instinctively feel that they have to classify themselves as something else and usually say "I'm just left of center" or "independent".
