William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Obama Nominates Left-Wing Extremist Goodwin Liu to Appeals Court; Liu is Possible Supreme Court Nominee'

Well, a Judge cano render a decision, but the written opinion describing the decisions is what has the impact. A poorly written opinion will narrow the scope of the decision, be little used as a precedent, and, eventually, be overturned by clearer h…

Thomas C. Roe commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Obama Nominates Left-Wing Extremist Goodwin Liu to Appeals Court; Liu is Possible Supreme Court Nominee'

Perhaps one Liu doesn't make much of a difference but 5 Liu's do. As to judicial gravitas; when has a lack of competence prevented a Justice from rendering a decision? Liu personifies the remark that "stupid has begun to think" and you know stupid d…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Obama Nominates Left-Wing Extremist Goodwin Liu to Appeals Court; Liu is Possible Supreme Court Nominee'

Judge Liu on the 9th circuit will have no impact, for the 9th is already very liberal. And if he is nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court, he will also have no influence for he lacks the necessary judicial gravitas. The problem with putting…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Obama Administration Protects ACORN After Child Prostitution Scandal, Despite Its History of Mortgage Fraud Against Taxpayers'

ACORN has not been found to have engaged in an attempt to defraud the government. What we have seen are actions by low level employees. As you state: "...cut-offs of funds to government contractors guilty of fraud against the taxpayers..." ACORN i…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post '63% Say Political Correctness Kept Military From Preventing Ford Hood Massacre'

Not sure how far the "political correctness" issue will run in the investigation, but it does bring up a significant point that needs to be made. Islam, oddly enough, is a very immature religion. While old in years, it is quite young in its theolog…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Harvard Medical School Dean Opposes Obama Healthcare Plan, Gives ObamaCare a 'Failing Grade''

One of my children graduated from one of the top medical schools. The leadership of the school strongly expoused a single payer system, with the belief that they would control the system. Dr. Flier wishes to define and cpntrol the health care paymen…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Obama's Stimulus Package Created Imaginary Jobs, While Destroying Jobs in the Real World'

I'm laughing on the outside. It is just an example of how little respect that the progressives running our government have for the people of this country.

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post '“How ACORN Destroyed the Housing Market” Through Affordable-Housing Mandates and Liar Loans'

You give ACORN far too much credit. The ease of acquiring housing was a policy long pursued by both parties. And a policy I support. The housing market didn't crash because of those policies, it crashed because of poor decisions by buyers and lende…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Federal experts say Obama healthcare plan would jeopardize health care for millions, increase medical costs, and harm seniors'

Here's the main point: "...or result in some "hospitals and nursing homes" deciding to "stop taking Medicare altogether," If 70% of the "business" or consumers are on a similar federal plan, the medical service companies such as hospitals and doct…

Hans Bader commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Under U.S. Pressure, Impoverished Honduras May Allow Dictatorial Ex-President to Return to Power'

CORRECTION: Press reports appear to have been inaccurate. Honduras did not promise to return ex-president Zelaya to power; it merely promised to let Honduras's Congress vote on his return, subject to consultations with the Honduras Supreme Court. T…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Senator seeks to cover up evidence that Honduras acted legally in removing authoritarian ex-president'

And today we see that the US has sent a team to force a solution. A solution which appears to ignore the rule of Honduran law, and only provides the leadership of the administrations foreign policy some satisfaction in helping those whom they suppor…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Liberal Reporter Smears Supreme Court Justice Scalia, Falsely Claiming He Said He Would Uphold Segregation'

There is nothing that can be done about this. As Churchill said: "A lie will be half way around the world before the truth is out of bed" (close). Anyone who read such an allegation would say "wow, that sounds unlikely", even those on the left who…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post '“Public Option” Is a Gimmick That Won’t Fix Healthcare'

I believe that the administration has a different view, a view, supported by some data, that they can control costs because they can control the price of the service. And what is truly fascinating is that they will use the business practices of the…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Obama Accepts "Blasphemy" Exception to Free Speech'

The goings on within the UN Human Rights Commission and the genral Assembly are not worrisome, they have no impact and their work produces nothing that a court could ever use in deciding a judgement. And regardless of any foreign legal practice, one…

William S Nelson commented on Hans Bader's blog post 'Franken Uses Inflammatory Rape Claim to Destroy Arbitration of Employment Disputes, Including Disputes Having Nothing To Do With Rape'

A lot of good information in this column. But what do I do with it? Most people know Franken is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and Stewart is not even in the realm of logical discourse. What do I do, where do I go? The problem is that the ci…

Healthcare Reform's Hidden Cost: "Obamacare Is A Budgetary Disaster"

The healthcare bills backed by Obama will cost $2.3 trillion, not the $900 billion Obama claims, and will be a "budgetary disaster" that drives up the national debt, explains healthcare expert James C.

Obama's Policies Will Increase National Debt by $9.7 Trillion, Washington Post Admits

"President Obama's policies would add more than $9.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, congressional budget analysts said Friday. . .The 10-year outlook by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is somewhat gloomier than White House projections, which found that Obama's policies would add $8.5 trillion to the debt by 2020."
