Why Obama Lawyers couldn’t answer Constitutional Questions

http://1787network.com

Last week’s historic 3 day Supreme Court debate on Obamacare made one thing abundantly clear. The Obama administration is unable to answer basic constitutional questions and does not want nor consider the fact that there are limits on what the Government is allowed to do.

Fundamentally, Obama and his administration, do not grasp liberty and freedom and the basis for the American experiment in self-rule.

Sen. Rand Paul Slams Congressional “Circus” Over Shutdown Threats

http://www.infowars.com

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul appeared on CNN last night to inject some sense into the latest stand off between Republicans and Democrats over government spending and the deficit.

In light of the fact that a government shutdown has been only narrowly averted once again, this time regarding FEMA funding, Paul noted that debating important issues seems to have been almost completely lost amidst a culture of partisan stand offs on Capitol Hill.
