The time is here. A series of oral arguments begins Monday at the Supreme Court on ObamaCare. As you know, the high court will conduct an unprecedented three days of oral arguments – Monday through Wednesday – focusing on the critical issues that are facing constitutional challenges. It breaks down like this. On Monday, arguments…

In 1995, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder – who was serving as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia at the time – attempted to bolster his anti-gun campaign by expressing his desire to launch a public relations campaign to “really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.” That’s right –…

We have prepared a 12-page legal analysis showing very clearly that the surveillance methods used by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) are not only effective, but constitutional as well. As we told you over the past couple of weeks, Attorney General Holder lashed out at the NYPD tactics, calling them ‘disturbing’ based on news…

It is a tremendously important lawsuit. We filed suit today in federal court in St. Louis, Missouri on behalf of a St. Louis business owner and his company. Our argument is clear: the HHS mandate, which requires employers to purchase health insurance for their employees that includes coverage for contraceptives, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs, violates the…

You can never predict if the U.S. Supreme Court will take a case. But if there was ever a decision that needs to be overturned – it’s this one. Last year, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit declared that the federal government’s operation of the Mt. Soledad Veterans…

These surveillance techniques have thwarted 14 known terrorist attacks in New York City. Last week, Attorney General Holder called the NYPD counterterrorism efforts “disturbing”and…

Attorney General Eric Holder says he is disturbed about news reports that attack surveillance methods used by the New York City police department in the Muslim community to prevent terrorist attacks. Holder now says the Justice Department is reviewing the situation, which really means the DOJ is considering an investigation. Why smear New York Police…

There’s a debate going on whether Israel should launch a preemptive strike against Iran, before that troubling nation can ready its nuclear arsenal. President Obama didn’t really break any new ground in his recent meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Obama did tell Netanyahu that “we got Israel’s back.” But he did not make any…

It is outrageous. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is demanding information from Tea Party groups nationwide – information that is clearly beyond the scope of legitimate inquiries – information that violates the First Amendment. We first wrote about this on our website earlier this week and reported that we’ve been contacted by dozens of Tea Party…

Another controversial appointment has been made by Attorney General Eric Holder. This time his appointment to the number 3 post at the Department of Justice is raising important questions. Tony West served as assistant attorney general for the Civil Division and has now been named to acting associate attorney general. What you may not know,…
