Scalia Explains Why Only Jews And
Catholics Are On The Supreme Court

Business Insider, by Erin Fuchs Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/15/2012 3:13:08 PM Post Reply

Justice Antonin Scalia said recently the public's declining interest in religion has made it possible for the Supreme Court to have no Protestants for the first time ever, the National Catholic Register reports. "The fact that the Supreme Court consists of–what now?–six Catholics and three Jews: I would like to believe that it's because of more religious toleration, but I think it's actually because of indifference," Scalia said. During a packed talk at the Catholic Information Center, Scalia said the separation of church and state is more important in America than anywhere else despite this growing indifference, the Catholic Register

Mark Halperin of Time reports on some unusually bipartisan criticism of Candy Crowley, the CNN anchor scheduled to moderate Tuesday’s town-hall debate: (Snip) The debate agreement specifically states that the moderator isn’t supposed to rephrase those audience questions, ask her own follow-ups, or change the subject. She’s just supposed to watch the clock and keep the debate moving along according to schedule. But as Halperin notes, Crowley herself never signed on to the terms of the debate, and he notes there’s no evidence she was ever asked to sign such an agreement. The rules merely stipulate that she be given

Something's happening here . . . Last week, Chuck Todd came in for criticism at NewsBusters for sniffing off a Rasmussen poll favorable to Mitt Romney as "slop." But has yesterday's slop become today's sirloin for the NBC political director? Sure looks like it. In a remarkable shift, on today's Morning Joe Todd stated that in recent days he has seen a "structural shift" in the polling data in Romney's favor. With a strong performance at tomorrow's townhall-style debate in which he connects with average Americans, Todd declared that Romney could "win this election"

Alec Baldwin: Romney Politicizing
Benghazi, Ambassador's Death

Breitbart's Big Hollywood, by Staff Original Article

President Barack Obama's Hollywood supporters are being painted into a corner by the administration's evolving narrative on the Sept. 11 attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. Enter Alec Baldwin, the far-left star of the low-rated "30 Rock." Baldwin used his Twitter account to push a despicable narrative started by Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter. The scandal surrounding the terrorist attack in Benghazi isn't an administration problem. The Romney/Ryan ticket is simply using the matter as a wedge issue to gain votes. (Snip) Righties politicize death of Stevens + attack "security issue." Where were concerns when Bush/Cheney failed 2 protect US troops

On today’s edition of The View host Barbara Walters announced that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney canceled his appearance on the show for this Thursday. According to Walters, Romney and his wife Ann had scheduled an appearance on the show last month. But now a “scheduling conflict” makes it impossible for the former Massachusetts Governor to join his wife on the couch this week. As Walter described it: “There are some people who favor the obamas, because they have have been on the program separately and together. Governor Romney

When Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. emerged from last summer's disappearance—he had, his family said, been seeking treatment for bipolar disorder at the Mayo Clinic—his chief of staff told reporters that he was "convalescing with his wife and children at home in Washington." But last week, he was seen convalescing in a D.C. bar with two different women on two consecutive nights. According to two independent sources, Jackson was spotted drinking at Bier Baron Tavern, a craft beer bar not far from Dupont Circle, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights last week. Each night, he was accompanied by a different woman.

Fox News’ go-to psychiatrist, Keith Ablow, appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend to discuss Joe Biden‘s debate performance. Given that Biden’s laughter, smirks, and malarkeyisms had been dissected pretty thoroughly by the time Sunday rolled around, Ablow had his work cut out for him. How, he must have asked himself, will I make my mark? What will make people pay attention? How does one cut through the noise? Well. With more noise, obviously. Let’s begin by noting that Ablow was asked about what Biden’s debate behavior suggests about his “personality,”

Twenty-one members of Texas’ congressional delegation have asked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden to take “immediate action” to address the West Nile virus outbreak. Even though the virus has been in the U.S. for 13 years, current control measures just prevention measures such as mosquito abatement and public education. Texas has been hardest hit in this year’s outbreak, with nearly 10 times the number of reported cases than the next affected state and 50 deaths in the Dallas/Fort Worth region.

Were the 2012 campaign a Hitchcock movie, Mitt Romney would be the MacGuffin—a device that drives a lot of plot gyrations but proves inconsequential in itself. Then again, Barack Obama could be, too. Our down-to-the-wire presidential contest is arguably just a narrative speed bump in the scenario that has been gathering steam throughout the Obama presidency: the resurgence of the American right, the most determined and coherent political force in America. No matter who is elected president, what Romney calls severe conservatism will continue to consolidate its hold over one of our two major parties.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign has filed a federal lawsuit in Wisconsin to extend the amount of time military and overseas absentee ballots can be returned. The federal suit came on the heels a campaign request to the state’s Government Accountability Board to extend the deadline after at least 30 Wisconsin municipalities failed to send overseas ballots 45 days before the election, which is required under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voter Act (UOCAVA). The campaign proceeded with the suit against GAB after their initial request was denied.

Retail Sales in U.S. Climbed More

Washington - Retail sales in the U.S. rose more than projected in September, reflecting broad-based gains that indicate household spending helped bolster economic growth last quarter. The 1.1 percent advance followed a revised 1.2 percent increase in August that was the biggest since October 2010 and larger than previously reported, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 77 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.8 percent rise. A drop in joblessness and firming home prices are leading to gains in confidence that may help chains such as Target Corp. (TGT) and TJX Cos. (TJX) keep

Day by day, the public is learning more about what happened in the Sept. 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others. There is still much confusion. But last week we gleaned two key points from a State Department briefing and a House Oversight and Government Reform committee hearing: • Initial White House statements that the attack was triggered by a demonstration over an anti-Muslim video were wrong. There was no demonstration that night. • Security forces protecting the U.S. Consulate were quickly overwhelmed by a huge band of armed and well-trained militants (Snip) What we can't

After Mitt Romney promised to aggressively crackdown against Chinese companies that cheat American businesses, the New York Times, along with other mainstream media organizations, have tried to paint Mitt Romney as a hypocrite by digging up companies in which Bain Capital has a stake. They conveniently ignoring that President Barack Obama also has investments in some of the exact same Chinese companies. (Snip) President Obama, a former Illinois state senator, has as much as $100,000 in a state retirement plan that contains shares of Sensata Technologies, the same auto parts company controlled by Bain that is closing its Illinois factory.

US Supreme Court to hear

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to consider whether Arizona can demand that voters show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The high court will not hear the case before the Nov. 6 U.S. election, ensuring that the disputed registration requirement in Arizona will not be in effect. The legal dispute over the registration requirement dates back to 2004 when Arizona voters passed a ballot initiative, Proposition 200, designed to stop illegal immigrants from voting. The measure amended state election laws to require voters to show proof of citizenship to register to vote, as

Beirut - Syrian President Bashar Assad ordered on Monday immediate repairs to a historic mosque in the city of Aleppo, a move likely aimed at containing Muslim outrage after fierce fighting between rebels and regime forces set parts of the mosque on fire over the weekend. Government troops had been holed up inside the 12th century Umayyad mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in downtown Aleppo for several months before rebels fighting to topple Assad launched a push to liberate it this week. (Snip) In the past few weeks, rebels controlled one entrance to the mosque compound while the army

I taught in an urban school with a racially and ethnically diverse student population. It's been a few years since I taught Advanced Placement Literature and Composition, but my memories of the rigors of the course and my students are sharp as ever. The class challenged students to do college-level work in more literary genres than you could shake a syllabus at (if you'll pardon my ending with a preposition). When the College Board released scores at the beginning of the summer, I didn't expect to see any one racial or ethnic group

How many times have we heard that Texans are independent and determined to stay that way? It’s never been more true than it is now. In an incredibly inspiring story, Texas talk show host Michael Berry is heading an effort to bring more than 1000 of his listeners across the country to Florida to help win the state for Mitt Romney. Florida’s 29 electoral votes may be the key to winning the election on November 6. The listeners will meet in Texas, caravan from there at their own expense, and pick up other listeners along the way.

The Boston Globe reported Monday that Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren raised $12.1 million for her campaign in the 3rd quarter ending September 30, 2012. That brings the total raised to $36 million. Yet more than 40% of these funds--an estimated $16 million--have come online via two websites that do not have industry-standard protections and are vulnerable to fraud and illegal foreign national donations. Today's report, which will be available for full public scrutiny by Tuesday morning, includes $8.7 million raised between August 18 and September 30 after her most recent Federal Election Commission filing--an August 17, 2012 pre-primary report

The rift between “American Idol” judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj won’t last long, according to President Barack Obama. “You know what, I think that they are going to be able to sort it out. I am confident,” the president said when asked about the feud on Y100’s “The Yo! Show.” Obama hesitated to take sides in the fight, calling both women “outstanding artists.” Asked to pick his favorite beween the two, he said, “Mariah, she’s actually done some events for us, I’ve gotten to know her and Nick [Cannon], and she’s a wonderful lady.

Obama Arming Al Qaeda

Bin Laden may be dead, but Al Qaeda isn’t. Obama keeps bragging that we have Al Qaeda on the run, but it seems like his definition of “On the run” is giving them weapons. This story comes, from of all places, the New York Times, and when the Grey Lady is admitting that Obama’s policy is completely screwed up, then it’s bad. Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar al-Assad are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists

A few weeks ago, I was asked to emcee a fund-raising dinner for Rep. Todd Akin, who is rather famously running for U.S. Senate in Missouri, the state in which I live. Although I did not hesitate to accept the invite, I found myself resisting the urge to promote the event, and my involvement in it. The reason was simple enough. I worried about the reaction of my moderate to liberal friends and family. After scolding myself for my indecision, I went ahead and posted the details of the fundraiser on Facebook with this explanation:

The Not-So-Great Communicator:
Is Obama Overrated As A Speaker?

For a man who was elected president partly on his ability to give a great speech, Barack Obama has been at times a surprisingly poor communicator in office and on the campaign trail. That may have been most evident earlier this month during the first presidential debate. But Obama generally hasn't been as impressive at getting his message across in his four years in the White House as he was during the campaign that put him there. His relatively few press briefings have drawn mediocre reviews

American Airlines on Monday introduced a new program that will allow premium passengers to book their meal entree before takeoff. It claims to be the first domestic airline to let passengers review menu options and select a meal before departure. Customers can go to AA.com between 30 days and 24 hours before the flight's departure to make a selection on the "view reservation" page. "Our entree reservations program is another example of our desire to personalize the travel experience for our customers in our premium cabin," Rob Friedman, American's vice president of marketing, said in a statement.
