Outside the Beltway

Democratic rhetoric since the Supreme Court decision on ObamaCare raises the question of whether they made a political mistake.

We’ve reached the point where public figures coming out of the closet is barely news anymore, and that’s a good thing.

Wouldn’t it be easier to bury the power lines instead of dealing with storm damage and week-long power outages seemingly every year?

It’s never a good thing when an Administration is investigating itself.

A new report will likely add fuel to the fire of conservative outrage over Chief Justice Roberts’ decision to uphold the PPACA.

One part of the Supreme Court’s PPACA ruling has not received a lot of attention, but it has the potential to have a lot of impact in the future.

Jerry Sandusky is in jail, but the evidence of the crimes that were committed to protect him continues to mount.

However, he and his party have hardly taken over.

My latest for The Atlantic continues the debate over work-life balance spawned by Anne-Marie Slaughter’s cover story “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All.”

If the GOP wins in November, there will be very few actual barriers in the way if they really want to repeal the PPACA.

Is there a logical flaw in the way Chief Justice Roberts addressed the tax issue in his opinion? Not really.

So, we’re safe from that broccoli mandate, right?

In his ruling on the ObamaCare cases, Chief Justices Roberts reached back to a judicial philosophy with roots in men like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Felix Frankfurter.

There is another explanation for the sometimes confusing nature of the dissent in the ObamaCare case.

If Roberts did switch his vote, it should not be considered odd.

Electing Romney hardly means repeal of the PPACA, even if he will make it sound that way.

Who benefits from the Supreme Court’s ObamaCare ruling?

Either the majority and dissenting opinions in NFIB v. Sebelius were among the sloppiest in Supreme Court history or the Chief Justice switched sides at the 11th hour.

Congress has found Eric Holder to be in contempt. I am not entirely sure what that accomplishes.

While it upheld the Affordable Care Act today, the Supreme Court also placed some clear limits on Congressional power. That’s a good thing.

The Republican strategy on health care in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision needs some tweaking.

Chief Justice Roberts: “Although the breadth of Congress’s power to tax is greater than its power to regulate commerce, the taxing power does not give Congress the same degree of control over individual behavior.”
