My last post was just prior to the Supreme Court ruling on Obama care. And so it seems that our nation has survived Chief Justice Robert's curious decision. I for one hold a partisan view and think Roberts was flat out, no mistake, he was just plain wrong. I know one thing however. He didn't get to where he is by being short in the brains department, not knowing the law, and not being a man of integrity and honor. Our country is and should be the standard for what the "rule of law" stands for. I think we proved that by not having an armed coup or riots in the streets across our great country. As you listen to the analysis and the judgments rendered on the decision, I'm reminded of a description of lawyers and what they learn in law school. It's basic to the lawyer and his code of ethics that he is an advocate. As such, his or her personal views cannot influence the way he/she argues the law. The phrase I'm referring to is, "an attorney is trained to be able to argue both sides of the question". With that thought in mind, it leaves no doubt in my mind at least, that Chief Justice Roberts decided on his view of the world and "argued for the side of the question of Obama care" that fit his personal viewpoint. It has been said that just prior to the announcement of the court's decision, Roberts was in favor of the conservative view but changed his mind one month prior to the announcement. There are many subjects to discuss since my last post, Obama's recent decision on immigration policy affecting 1.4 million "dreamers" - http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/06/20/obama-s-dreamer-immigration-move-boosts-his-standing-with-arizona-latinos.html, a political move or concern for status of illegals?; the renewed debate for gun control despite the Supreme Court ruling in 2010 affirming the fundamental right to bear arms - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/28/AR2010062802134.html; to Obama's most recent reminder of his true belief's - "you didn't do that" - http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/07/you_didnt_build_that_has_obama_team_panicking.html. China is buying Nexen, the Canadian oil company today, http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/us-securities-regulator-alleges-insider-trading-ahead-of-chinas-nexen-bid/article4446943/. Some how I feel the fix is in. Obama shuts down the oil industry in the Gulf states, then sends the oil to his old buddy Soros - owner of Petrogas in Brazil. Makes you wonder if the fix is in. For now, I'll close with something Paul Harvey said April 3, 1965. It's short...less than three minutes. Check it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Az0okaHig&feature=youtu.be That's it for now. Remember. The definition for "Peace" is the time between reloading your weapon be it pistol, rifle, tank or airplane. :)
