SCOTUS Declines to Hear WI Photo ID Challenge After U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman soundly rejected the law in 2014 -- finding that "evidence adduced at trial demonstrates" WI's Act 23 "disproportionately impacts Black and Latino voters" and that the law would "prevent more legitimate votes from being cast than fraudulent votes" -- the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals deadlocked (disingenously) 5 to 5 on whether to stay the original ruling.

U.S. Senators, Representatives Finally Call for Accountability for Wife-Beating Federal Judge Mark Fuller The plan--which a senior Republican federal judge described last week as "a sweet deal...that will allow Fuller to erase his criminal conviction for beating the crap out of his wife in a fancy hotel room while reeking with booze"--would allow him to return to his lifetime $200,000/year job where he sits in judgment of others, while leaving his next victim, whoever that might be, with little if any protection.

Health Care Spending Flattens Since Passage of "Obamacare," Corporate Media Fail to Notice On Wednesday, the new head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers released a bombshell report finding that U.S. health care spending since 2010 has increased by just 1.3 percent -- the smallest cost growth over a three-year period in American history.

RAGING BULL: Radical Activist Jurist Antonin Scalia, Legislating from the Bench There was a loud chorus of gasps, literal and otherwise, in the wake of Scalia's offensive and inaccurate remark during Wednesday's hearing when he charged that the Voting Rights Act, presumably Section 5 specifically, but he was speaking of the bill in its entirety at the time, served as little more than a "perpetuation of racial entitlement."
