Beverly Hills votes to remove liberal LA DA

 Washington Examiner:

The city of Beverly Hills, still smarting over the home invasion murder of a beloved celebrity, voted unanimously Tuesday to support the recall of liberal Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

Even though Beverly Hills is 71% Democratic, the city was one of the first to give Gascon a vote of no confidence last year. Then, as the robberies, assaults, and home invasions mounted during Gascon’s first year, the shooting death of philanthropist Jacqueline Avant was too much to bear.

“Beverly Hills Vice Mayor Lili Bosse stressed that without consequences for crime, we have Gotham City. Her sentiments were shared by others on the council as well,” said Karen Roseberry, spokeswoman for Recall Gascon Now.

Approximately 80 people pleaded with the city council to support the recall. Gascon’s recall effort is spearheaded by crime victims, former District Attorney Steve Cooley, and Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, a Democrat.

...

Villanueva says Gascon's soft-on-crime policies have hurt the morale of his deputies, who have watched their suspects walk free from jail. He is also trying novel approaches to circumvent Gascon, such as assigning detectives to attend the parole hearings of people convicted of murder after the reversal of a long-standing DA policy to advocate keeping prisoners deemed dangerous behind bars.

...

What Gascon and other progressive prosecutors call reform has been a disaster for crime victims across the country.  They all should e removed.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
