The False Advertising of Sonia Sotomayor
I have a simple question. Can a judicial nominee to the United States Supreme Court be held accountable for misleading Senators in a nomination hearing? OK, maybe two questions. Can a Supreme Court Justice be accused of deceptive advertising?
Interesting article today in Washington Times makes we wonder about the above. Justice Sotomayor seems to have waffled [...]

Supreme Court Upholds Right to Keep and Bear Arms
In a 5-4 vote falling along ideological lines, the Unites States Supreme Court extended gun owner rights to the federal, state and local levels. Upholding that 2nd Amendment Rights apply across the country was the correct decision.
As a supporter of the Court’s decision, a former police officer and a member of the NRA, I am very [...]

U.S. Supreme Court: Miranda Rights Must be Activated
When it comes to your constitutional protections, silence isn’t golden. Reading the latest opinion from the United States Supreme Court on Miranda rights and protections, I have to say it didn’t strike me as a total negative. The high court ruled that a suspect must activate his/her “right to remain silent” by saying so. Should you [...]

Hatch Hatches Plan to Help at Home with Horrific Polling Numbers
Breaking News: GOP Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah is seeking his seventh term, that’s right, seventh term. Not surprisingly, in the season of the un-incumbant, Mr. Hatch is way behind in the polls. So, what to do? Let’s say we follow Huffington, Drudge or any other news outlet and see if we can’t fabricate some [...]
Audit the FED and the Bernanke Books
As the Times Square, New York City “bomb plot” arrest unfolded, local and federal law enforcement officials along with the media were all too quick and giddy to divulge the tactics they used to nab the suspect Faisal Shahzad and begin to build a case against the Pakistan Taliban. As the details of disposable phones, clandestine [...]

Honestly Recalling a Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient
In law enforcement circles, the term “take a bullet for you” though macabre sounding, is the greatest compliment you can pay a fellow officer. Kudos reserved for cops so much bigger than their badges. These brave men and women are those rare individuals that evince a truly uncommon courage and honor.
Earlier today I received an [...]

More Voices Calling for the Prosecution of the Pope
I’ve suggested for some time that the Pope may be on the ropes for knowingly permitting predatory priests to remain on the prowl. Is it possible he may soon be on the stand as well, could he and his co-conspirators face a trial? Can the Pope be charged with Perjury?
Two powerful pieces sat on my [...]

FAA Pulling Strings For Tiger Woods
Quickly, I couldn’t care less if Tiger Woods wins or loses this weekend; truth be told, I’m pulling for Phil Mickelson at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia. Now, the biggest story to come out of the PGA Tournament this weekend comes not from the gallery or the greens, but from the not-so-friendly-skies overhead.
Seems a single-engine [...]
