However, I made the trip to the Supreme Court’s web site.  What a disappointment that (likely 20 million dollar) web site is.  Sections don’t overlay their background properly, calendar gives novice error messages, and colors make certain text nearly unreadable.  It’s clear that this web site was created with Obama Stimulus money.

But, the biggest disappointment is the entries on the calendar – or lack thereof.  As I write, we are in the 153rd day of the year on June 1st, 2012 – 41.9% of the way through the year.  To date, the Supreme Court has heard oral arguments on – wait for it – 27 days.  27 days.

On the day I visited the Supreme Court in 2010 and happened to get inside to witness 5 minutes of the arguments, they were done by noon.  I don’t think they started at 6:00am, but let’s assume they started at 8:00.  We’ll pretend they hear arguments for 4 hours per argument day.  That means of the 153 days of 2012, they have used 2.9% of the available hours to hear arguments.  If we assume a hard working 10 hour day, then they’ve only heard arguments on 7% of the hours available (I seem to work every weekend).

I realize there is much to do with each argument held on each case reviewed.  The process of selecting cases for judicial attention is a gauntlet.  But, 27 days.

To the urgings of my fellow Tea Partier’s, I did not find a method of directly contacting the Justices.  There is an address for general mail, but I do not get the idea that my logical arguments on any case will be under the Justices’ consideration… …which is probably the way things should be.

Can you imagine a country where laws are upheld based on the number of letters received in the mailbox?  Or, angry crowds surrounding the court house threatening upheaval if a case is decided against their wishes.

But, alas, here is their general mailing address:

Supreme Court of the United States
1 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20543

1) Only in the New America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”

2) Only in the New America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black while 12% of the population is black.

3) Only in the New America could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

4) Only in the New America can we have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

5) Only in the New America would we make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just become American citizens.

6) Only in the New America could rich politicians talk about the greed of the rich job creators at a $25,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.

7) Only in the New America could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

8) Only in the New America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

9) Only in the New America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER MINUTE … and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.

10) Only in the New America could the rich folks who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their “fair share” by the increasing percentage of people (47%) who pay NO income taxes at all.

This came via e-mail with no way to credit, but it was way too funny not to post.  If you know who created it, tell me and I’ll give them a link.

Here’s the real story…

This Is Our Moment!

We Can’t Do It Without You!

Join Us!

Does that sound like something out of the Obama Election Campaign or what?!?  The only thing that is missing is the ‘Yes We Can!’

The CAR (Calif. Association of Realtors) is hosting a legislative day up in Sacramento, CA on May 2^nd. Only problem is there are ONLY liberal progressive legislators who have been asked to address the group.  See the flyer (pdf) below. I signed up for this event and wrote a scathing email. See below.  I plan on attending this event. I am calling on ALL conservative Realtors to attend this event and speak out against SB375 (stack and pack housing) and AB32 (Cap and Trade) and how this is destroying our liberties and private property rights. If you can’t attend please send an email to your local board or the CAR board! Do something please!!!! If you plan on going to SAC let me know so we can meet up when we get there.

Here’s an email I sent to the local Realtors board about the upcoming lobby day in Sacramento California, May 2nd. It would be nice if other realtors would speak out too!

“I am RSVPing for the lobby day in SAC. However I am a bit confused as to why there are NO conservative legislators that will be addressing us??? Every single one of these legislators is a liberal progressive. I am extremely disappointed to see that CAR and CCAR are so obviously biased! This is a disservice to your members! I for one am extremely offended that there is no balance in this meeting! As a realtor I pay huge dues to belong to the Realtors Association and this is NOT the kind of lobby day I would expect for my money! We realtors must be non-partisan or at least provided a balanced message.”

“I would like to see you invite some conservative members of the legislature to balance this day.”

I’ll bet our writer won’t be receiving the CCAR Realtor of the Year award any time soon!

The Show-Me Institute and nextSTL present a free advance screening of the Battle for Brooklyn, a documentary about the abuse of eminent domain to make way for luxury housing and a stadium.

PLEASE RSVP AT: http://showmeinstitute.org/eminent-domain-apr12

Please.  Tell me how you vote for such a hypocrite.  Watch this man’s absolute insolence at 2:06.  Clearly he even has a problem with the number of kids the man has.  Will Chinese style eugenics be next on the list?

Thank you to the Don Smith Show for exposing this hypocrisy!
