The judge in the case has refused to dismiss. I would note that this statement:
Several investigations over the years cleared Mann of allegations of wrongdoing.
…is factually incorrect, in both the blog post, and the ruling(s). As Sam Kazman says, it is likely that we will appeal.
Linda Billings (whom I’ve known for thirty years or so) seems to have a problem with space development and settlement. I’d argue with her, if I could figure out just what her objection is. Perhaps there’s a clue in that she thinks that Howard Zinn’s tracts are just great.
Thoughts on the constitutional recklessness of this administration:
When a president pursues policies that require such expansive federal power that he can’t get a single justice to agree, something is probably amiss.
Such overreach, though, has become a part of our political culture. Administrations of both parties are often unwilling to accept constitutional limits on their authority.
This administration, though, more than most, finds that pesky Constitution to be an impediment to its goals to “transform society.”
Some thoughts on (some) libertarians and the confederacy. As he points out, the south wasn’t opposed to a large centralized government — they just wanted to have one of their own to continue to enforce slavery.
Why gun owners are right to fight it:
The anti-gun crowd doesn’t want “compromise.” They want confiscation and control.
Exactly right. When they tell you they don’t want to take your guns away, they’re lying. In order to take your guns away.
As Glenn says, Hollywood dumbasses.
In addition to his points, a) there’s nothing wrong with stand-your-ground laws and b) the Zimmerman case had nothing to do with stand your ground.
These morons just can’t stand the notion that people should be able to defend themselves.

Hey, remember when Barack Obama supported stand-your-ground laws? Well, neither does he. To repeat: dumbasses.

OK, you’ll be as unsurprised as I am to learn that John McCain has decided to become one of the dumbasses.
Those Al Qaeda terrorists sure picked a good news day to bust out of prison in Iraq.
This is why we have Gitmo.
…about complete crap:
President Barack Obama has already increased our national debt somewhere between five and six trillion dollars and shows no sign of stopping. Maybe that’s why women clutch their purses when he gets in an elevator.
Heh. RTWT.
It’s not going to happen this year.
Sadly, he’s probably right. We’re going to waste at least another two to four billion dollars on SLS before it’s canceled.
They’ve been making war on us for decades and, as FDR said, they should be abolished as an atrocity against the taxpayer.

This seems related: how the National Labor Relations Act was written by a stealth communist.
Color me shocked. It’s one of those many federal laws that need repealing.
