A most polarizing Time For a President.

I submit this only as evidence that raw partisanship is doing far more harm than good.

And of course the Paper actually had a rather partisan headline, that tries to Blame Obama. Which would be quite unfair so I changed the headline above.

washingtonpost.com

In 2010, the partisan gap between how Obama was viewed by Democrats versus Republicans stood at 68 percent; in 2009, it was 65 percent. Both were the highest marks ever for a president’s second and first years in office, respectively.

What do those numbers tell us? Put simply: that the country is hardening along more and more strict partisan lines.

Texas Email Privacy Act singed by Gov Perry, now ‘Effective immedtaely’
Perry signed the legislation-it's now effective immediately. Does Texas's action really mean anything? Seems more like a pyrrhic victory-after all, this doesn't preempt the Federal Government.

Supreme Court Rules for Generic Drugs, Against ‘Pay for Delay’
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that brand-name drug makers can be sued for violating the antitrust laws if they make a deal that pays a potential competitor to put off selling a generic version. The 5-3 decision is likely to benefit consumers with lower prices. The Federal Trade Commission, which has pursued suits against the drug makers, estimated these so-called "pay for delay" deals ...

Nat Hentoff writes for WHO?
I came across a link to a piece by him on the privacy issue. When I read his column--a long time ago, but regularly, in the Village Voice--he of course wrote about civil liberties often. The man was committed to his ideals, as I recall--strongly. His pro-life stance stood out, to be sure. But there was a time when getting the Voice (no later ...

Does the Government Actually Understand the 4th Amendment?
Kafka and Heller are laughing hysterically in their graves because reality is now more absurd than anything that they ever wrote! Grayson is basically arguing that the kind of boundless general warrant the NSA is using to justify its mass "ongoing" surveillance cannot possibly comply with the Fourth Amendment's mandate that warrants only be issued when the government has probable cause. In our current ...
