We know how Kagan’s going to vote, because she essentially told us in her confirmation hearings, when she said the federal government could force us to buy brocolli. She’s a totalitarian.
Really, Wickard was one of the worst decisions in court history, not just in how awful the reasoning was, but in what a devastating effect it had on the nation. This upcoming decision is an opportunity to finally try to reverse some of the damage.
How many will join her?
Not that many, probably. They need to earn a living, even if it’s ethically compromised.

NASA is unsure how long commercial crew will be delayed:
NASA officials say the reduced funding for the commercial partnership to replace the space shuttle will delay the program two years and maybe longer.
So, at $450M per year to the Russians, the geniuses on the Hill have just increased out-year expenditures by almost a billion dollars to save half a billion next year. This is why the budget is a mess.

US-Israeli relations could get worse.
As though we needed another reason not to reelect him.
Thoughts on their intellectual exhaustion and maleducation:
To our mind, that sentence more than anything we’ve read encapsulates the spirit of Obamaville. It originally appeared in a San Francisco Chronicle story about an incident in which “dozens of college students” invaded a Bank of America Branch, “pitching a tent and chanting ‘shame, shame’ until they were arrested.”
On the way to B of A, they paused at Citi to scream at the walls. These are college students, acting like 2-year-olds throwing a tantrum. What does that tell you about their critical thinking skills–and about the standards of American higher education? The likes of the New York Times expect us to take such incoherent spasms of rage seriously as a political “movement.” What does that tell us about the standards of the liberal media?
Pretty much everything we need to know.
Some Newt thoughts from Jonah Goldberg.
Is North Korea collapsing? And has a civil war broken out in Iran? And is will Egypt become Somalia on the Nile?
We live in interesting times.
JPet thinks that’s what Europe is.
