Sen. Orrin Hatch easily wins primary election against former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist

Sen. Orrin Hatch easily wins primary election against former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist | Deseret News

Senator Orrin Hatch with his great-grandson and his wife during the election night party on June 26, 2012.

Republican voters sadly once again gave longtime Utah Senator Orrin Hatch another primary victory by defeating former State Senator Dan Liljenquist in the GOP primary by nearly a 2 to 1 margin.  The six-term Senator said voters heard his message "loud and clear".  Hatch now faces Democratic challenge Scott Howell.  A Dan Jones & Associates poll conducted for the Deseret News and KSL-TV last week showed the six-term with a healthy lead over Howell, 63-29 percent.  Hatch made the quote that we need seasoned and experienced leadership in the critical Senate Committees to do what the Democratic leadership hasn't been willing or able to accomplish such as a balanced budget, tax reform, and repeal of Obamacare.

Senator Hatch can say what he wants but in the 36 years he's been in the Senate he hasn't done anything to rein in the federal budget in Washington.  The national debt has mushroomed significantly since he's been a Senator starting in 1977.  He's seen the federal budget grow out of proportion with Republicans in charge of the House, Senate, and the White House.  He's even voted to confirm Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Steven Breyer, to name a few.  He doesn't stand for anything.  He's mostly talk.  He's been in office way too long.

Supreme Court Upholds Obamacare

Supreme Court upholds Obama's health care overhaul - Washington Times

   

The one thing that's obvious is you can't trust those who label themselves as "conservative" or "constitutionalist" when it counts.  It doesn't make any difference who they are or what ideology they claim to espouse, you can't expect them to stand up for the Constitution.  Once again, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to stand for the Constitution.  The Supreme Court yesterday gave the federal government the "okay" to intrude into every aspect of our lives.  The issue at hand was over the individual mandate which gives the government the "right" to tell Americans they must purchase healthcare insurance.  That was the question that the Supreme Court was to answer.  Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts, a George W. Bush appointee in 2005, gave the Obama administration the green light by upholding Obamacare.  He rewarded the dishonesty of the federal government by siding with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court.  The Supreme Court said that the individual mandate is a tax by the federal government.  Therefore, it justifies the federal government's actions in implementing this hideous bill.  Even though the actions of the Supreme Court are disappointing, I'm not surprised.  You can't trust those who claim to be constitutionalists to stand for the American people when it counts.  I don't care if it's the Supreme Court, The GOP-controlled House or the Republicans in the Senate. 

Since the Supreme Court's decision yesterday, we've heard the same political figures on the Republican side state they are going to work towards repeal of Obamacare.  I read where GOP candidate Mitt Romney said that yesterday he was going to push for the repeal of Obamacare.  House Speaker John Boehner stated the ruling of the Supreme Court shows that Obamacare needs to be repealed.  There's been talk of a symbolic House vote to repeal Obamacare in July.  Why?  That's nothing but a dog-and-pony show.  The best that the House can do at this point is to remove funding from the implementation of Obamacare?  Why doesn't Boehner call for the defunding of Obamacare?  That's what I would like to know.

Supreme Court Upholds Key Plank of Arizona Immigration Law

Supreme Court upholds key plank of Arizona immigration law - Washington Times



The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday struck down most of Arizona's immigration law as an unlawful infringement on federal power.  It did uphold the most important part of Arizona's immigration law: It allows police to stop and ask the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.  Arizona Governor Jan Brewer stated she would move quickly to begin enforcing that part of the law.  In the complex 5-3 ruling, all eight justices said Arizona police can continue to question the legal status of those they stop, but the five-justice majority struck down the parts of the law in which Arizona sought to impose its own criminal penalties for immigration violations.  The majority said that the power is reserved exclusively for the federal government. 

The decision comes a little more than a week after President Obama said last week that he would stop deporting most young adult illegal immigrants.  Coupled with the ruling, it marks a seismic shift in the national immigration debate.  Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority opinion, said states cannot act in an area where the Constitution specifically grants powers to Congress.  (Article I, Section 8, Clause 4)

Former Penn State Coach Jerry Sandusky Convicted of Child Sex Abuse

Former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky convicted of child sex abuse | Fox News


Jerry Sandusky's Defense Attorney

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been convicted and will face life in prison following his conviction late Friday of sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years.  This sex scandal shook the storied football program to the core and caused the school to fire former legendary coach Joe Paterno and former University president Graham Spanier.  Sandusky, 65, was led from the courtroom in handcuffs after being found guilty in 45 of 48 counts.  Sentencing will take place in about three months but mandatory minimums will keep him behind bars for life. 

There were only three acquittals among the charges related to 10 victims.  Eight of them took to the stand to describe forced oral sex, fondling, and anal rape.  Many of the accusers testified they had told nobody of the abuse--not even parents, girlfriends, and not police. 

This is absolutely horrifying.  Sandusky should definitely be behind bars for life where he can't rob another boy's innocence ever again.  To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.

Mitch Daniels Quits Politics Effective Immediately

Mitch Daniels Quits Politics Effective Immediately

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels accepts job as president of Purdue University

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is quitting politics effective immediately.  He is now set to become president of Purdue University once his term as governor ends in January.  When Daniels' term ends, he will have served as Indiana's 49th governor for eight years.  He was first elected to the governorship in 2004.  Even though he didn't run for president this year, his name has been frequently mentioned as a possible running mate for Mitt Romney.  Since he's slated to become president of Purdue University in January, we can strike his name off the VP list. 

Daniel, 63, succeeds retiring Purdue President France Cordova.  His candidacy was approved Thursday by the Purdue Board of Trustees.  To read the full story, click on the above link from Newsmax.

Boehner: House Will Repeal All of Obamacare If Court Doesn’t

Boehner: House Will Repeal All of Obamacare If Court Doesn’t



House Speaker John Boehner told reporters in Washington today that the Republican-led chamber will move to repeal Obamacare if the U.S. Supreme Court doesn't overturn the law on the books since March 2010.  Boehner didn't say when the House would act but that it would take a step-by-step approach to rewrite the healthcare law to reduce costs and to ensure Americans can make their own choices concerning which doctor they desire to choose.  Boehner nor any of the Republicans didn't offer any specifics.  The Supreme Court is expected to make a ruling on Obamacare by the end of this month.

All this talk by (sob-sob) John Boehner on the House repealing Obamacare is bogus.  He knows very well the House can't repeal Obamacare.  It takes both the House and Senate to vote to repeal Obamacare.  The problem is the Senate is in Democratic hands and you know they won't vote to repeal it.  You know President Obama will veto the bill.  It would take a 2/3's majority by both Houses to override the president's veto.  That won't happen.  That's an impossibility with the 112th Congress.  Instead of talking about "repealing" Obamacare, they should be using the next weapon in their arsenal.  They should be defunding Obamacare.  (Article 1, Sec. 7, Clause 1).  The House can strip funding from any type of funding that's wasteful and unconstitutional.  If Boehner and his Republican cronies in the House wanted to strip funding from this unconstitutional bill, they would've already done so last year.  Instead they put on a dog-and-pony show giving the pretense that they are going to repeal Obamacare.  It's a farce.  The House voted to repeal Obamacare last January soon after they took over the chamber.
