From Richard Viguerie -

In a disturbing case with ominous implications for our democratic rights, U.S. Judge R. Barclay Surrick granted a motion by Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee to dismiss a challenge to Obama’s constitutional qualifications to run for President on grounds that a mere citizen does not have legal standing to sue.

Philip Berg, a Democrat and former Assistant Attorney General for Pennsylvania, brought suit alleging that under the Natural Born Citizen Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Obama is ineligible to be President.

Judge Surrick states that citizens may not sue to enforce the Constitution without statutory authorization from Congress.

While it is has been reported on by multiple news organizations for months and its the little secret everyone inside the beltway knows— I still found this interesting. The sitting GOP Leader - President George W. Bush has yet to make a single campaign appearance this year for a federal Republican candidate. While most of us believe the Bush legacy will be tainted in some fashion, this is just another example of to what extent. MSNBC Reports Below:

Thats right. Barack Obama, I oppose most of what you stand for, especially your economic policies. Unless you are talking about Iraq or civil liberties I really do not find any of your policy stances likable, and even then I generally do not approve of your approach to the problems. You have taken a stand against upper middle class families who have worked their way to the top, yet you also stand with the various corporate interests.

Ending the income tax at any level is a worthy goal, and it appears that goal may well be accomplished in Massachusetts this year. The following is a message from the Campaign for Liberty in support of the organization SmallGovernmentAct.org.

Dear Fellow Supporters of Ron Paul,

Ron Paul campaigned to Repeal the Income Tax – and dramatically shrink the size and power of government. Now you have the opportunity to take the first step to make Ron Paul’s dream a reality – by helping us to repeal the income tax in Massachusetts this November 4th.

We are co-sponsors of Ballot Question 1, the legally-binding ballot measure that will END the Massachusetts state income tax.

In a follow up to last week’s post- Gitmo Prosecutor Quits Due to Lack of Fairnesss in System- 5 detainees originally being prosecuted by Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld, who resigned recently due to “a crisis of conscience”, will have their current charges against them dropped.

The Washington Post published an editorial Monday titled “Is Capitalism Dead?”, that answered the question with a light-hearted affirmative, but with a couple key qualifiers- the first and most obvious being “we did not have Adam Smith capitalism”-

We’ll never know how this newly liberated financial sector might have performed on a playing field designed by Adam Smith. That’s because government interventions of all kinds, from the defense budget to farm supports, shaped the business environment.

The second- and probably more meaningful for typical Washington Post reader- being that we had “upside only capitalism”.
