The problem with Piers Morgan

Daily Mail:

Please don't kick out Piers, we don't want him back! British critics launch counter-petition to make sure he stays in U.S.

That is one problem.

I have watched a few segments on video of his show and think his biggest problem is that he does not bother to listen to what he is being told.  He has a preconceived narrative and he is not willing to really engage his guest so much as shout insults at them if what they say does not fit his narrative.  For that reason he is ill suited for the job he has.

While the recent spats have raised issues of the 1st Amendment and the 2nd Amendment to the constitution, having to watch him regularly would violate the 8th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

Gregory Kane also makes a point about Morgan's "style."
...
In the wake of the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Conn., Morgan has been on a nightly gun control rant, going on and on (and on and on and on) about the "insanity" of America's "gun culture."

Is this what liberals meant when they said now is the time to have a "meaningful conversation" about the issue of gun control? Because it's not going to be much of a conversation if it starts off with one side dismissing the other as "insane."
... 
Kane goes on to make a point about the "conversation."   Morgan is up front about wanting to repeal the 2nd Amendment and Kane believes that is the real agenda behind the push for more gun control.  While I view the chances of that happening as remote, we should be aware of what our adversaries objectives are.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
