Kagan and the science-manipulating Left

Surgeon General Koop Urges No Vote on Kagan Based on Abortion Manipulation: "Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop has written an extensive letter to members of the Senate calling for a no vote on the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan. The letter focuses attention on the Clinton administration memos Kagan authored showing her attempting to manipulate abortion opinion.

Specifically, Koop refers to the ways in which Kagan influenced the language of a 1997 statement by American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists on partial-birth abortions.

Whereas ACOG found no occasion in which the three-day-long abortion procedure is medically necessary for women, Kagan pressured ACOG to include language saying there may be instances where it is and the Supreme Court eventually relied on that language to overturn state bans on the abortion procedure.

That eventually kept partial-birth abortions legal for several years longer until the Supreme Court reversed itself when considering a national ban Congress approved with medical findings that partial-birth abortions are medically unnecessary.
Our senators should vote "no" on judicial activists like Kagan.

Move to Europe if you expect to be compensated after 99 weeks of not working

It is downright disingenuous for Obama to refer to this as a temporary or emergency extension. I'm sorry, but this is money that we don't have. (here) Move to Europe if you expect compensation for not working after 2 years.

As (I think) Jack Kemp has said, "If you want more of something, subsidize it." Unemployment "insurance" in this context is subsidizing unemployment, and I have seen a friend waiting around for the payments to stop before she went to work doing something she didn't prefer to do. Anecdotal, I know, but also logical.

Democrats are SERIOUS about fraud, waste and abuse!!!!

Well, this (here) is an encouraging news story, but the way it was spun by the AP makes my head hurt:
For the first time federal officials have the power to overhaul the system under Obama's Affordable Care Act, which gives them authority to stop paying a provider they suspect is fraudulent. Critics have complained the current process did nothing more than rubber-stamp payments to fraudulent providers.
Maybe we'll let the Dem Fraud hawks keep this lone provision when Obamacare is repealed . . .
