From Obamacare to Cap & Trade?

March 24, 2010 by GregC

Reports suggest Democratic leaders may follow up a divisive debate on health care with an equally polarizing fight over cap and trade energy legislation.  Arizona Rep. John Shadegg says the Democratic plan is a guaranteed job-killer and cripples our ability to safely extract abundant quantities of our own energy.  Shadegg also explains how this health care ‘fixes’ bill demolishes the private sector student loan industry.

Marriage Enters Health Debate

March 24, 2010 by GregC

This week, the Senate is taking up the bill of health care ‘fixes’ through the reconciliation process.  Republicans are bringing forth all sorts of proposed amendments and Democrats will do their best to make sure the bill passed by the House does not change at all.  Republicans plan to offer an amendment that would suspend the legalization of gay marriage in Washington, DC, until voters of the nation’s capital have their way.  So how will the vote likely go?  Can Democrats wiggle out of a costly political vote by claiming the issue is just designed to disrupt the health bill?  And what’s the latest on the court fight over marriage in DC?  We ask Brian Brown, executive director of the National Organization for Marriage.

March 24, 2010 by GregC

States Rally Against Obamacare

March 23, 2010 by GregC

Christie Herrera of the American Legislative Exchange Council says the passage of the Democratic health bill is triggering a feverish effort in 39 states to pass laws protecting residents from having to comply with the bill’s requirement for all adults to purchase government-approved health insurance.  How does this work in conjunction with the efforts of 13 states today to sue the government over the mandate?  Is this debate partisan or bipartisan at the state level?  Why are many state lawmakers worried about going broke over the new laws in addition to the loss of freedom for their constituents?  How strong is the Constitutional ground for these proposed state laws?

Obama’s Israel Problem

March 23, 2010 by GregC

Today, President Obama is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in what will likely be an intense meeting over settlements, the peace process and Iranian nuclear ambitions.  Why is Obama being so tough on Israel over settlements?  Are the new settlements even in disputed territory?  Does Obama see Israel as a bigger problem than Hamas?  What can Obama really do about the Iranian nuclear threat?  And what message is being sent when Obama will not allow any photos or video of his meeting with Netanyahu?  We ask retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Bob Maginnis, now a senior strategist with the U.S. Army.

Obamacare Repeal Effort Begins

March 23, 2010 by GregC

Iowa Rep. Steve King leads the charge among House Republicans to repeal the health care legislation passed Sunday night without a single Republican vote.  How much support is there for repealing a bill that just passed?  How much is this effort geared towards repeal and how much is aimed at winning seats in November?  And Rep. King says the Stupak compromise on abortion is worthless.  How does he know?  He’s challenged the legality of an executive order before – and won.
