Two different laws, two different (for now) judicial rulings.
First, Farmers Branch passes a law that prohibits lessors to rent apartments to undocumented aliens. The ordinance gets struck down by U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay because:
The new ordinance is yet another attempt to circumvent the court’s prior rulings and further an agenda that runs afoul [...]
Seems like a lot of Americans live in the times of old, where self-reliance and hard work made up the backbone of the country, instead of Boondoggle Bailouts put forward by lobbyist-funded senators.
The government wants to be like the US parent of today; forever insulating their children from any harm, not knowing that when these [...]
A quite liberal friend was complaining to me about a “Soft Filibuster” the Republicans in the Senate Judicial committee were using to stop testimony about interrogation techniques. I explained to him that it was basically business as usual, and that the Democrats did the same types of things when they were the minority, and [...]

I loved cherry picked data, especially regarding taxes. I was reading the latest graph at Visualizing Economics regarding the effective tax rate of the top 400 income earners in the US, based off data from a Wall Street Journal article.

The author is missing a good 1/2 of the federal budget; the growing entitlement mess of medicare/medicaid/social security. Any argument about fiscal well being that totally ignores those three is not an actual argument; it’s more of a peace movement. With regards to the Bush 2001/2003 tax cuts, one does not Tax their [...]
Nice Fear Peddling there. Replete with recursive links to make your own arguments. I thought it was only the Repubelicans that used fear… Oh wait, that’s just the Dim’s hypocracy shining forth.

When you start rewarding behaviour detrimental to society, you only get more of it.
