Biden's MAGA madness now aimed at court

 Washington Examiner:

The White House is amplifying its attacks on conservative judicial rulings, treating them as a product of “MAGA Republicans” ahead of the midterm elections.

President Joe Biden and his deputies began this focus after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, especially zeroing in on Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurring opinion, which went further than the majority in a way that could be portrayed as a threat to liberal precedents beyond abortion. The court also rebuffed the administration on guns, environmental regulation, and multiple pandemic-related policies.

But Biden’s team has started to extend this critique to lower courts, tying rulings they oppose to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and former President Donald Trump, as well as other Republican elected officials involved in legal challenges to liberal policies.

When a Republican appointee-dominated panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, an Obama-era program shielding certain illegal immigrants who entered the United States as children from deportation, was unlawful, the White House issued a Biden statement denouncing the ruling.

“The court’s stay provides a temporary reprieve for DACA recipients, but one thing remains clear: The lives of Dreamers remain in limbo,” Biden said Wednesday. “Today’s decision is the result of continued efforts by Republican state officials to strip DACA recipients of the protections and work authorization that many have now held for over a decade.”

“My administration is committed to defending Dreamers against attacks from Republican officials in Texas and other States,” he continued. “This challenge to DACA is just another example of the extreme agenda being pushed by MAGA Republican officials.”
...

If Biden wants to get around the court he is going to have to appeal the decision.  Calling them names is not going to do the trick.

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
