Well, this is, shall we say, “juicy” and with a good chance of going viral.

From Ricochet:

By Ben Domenech

Norm Coleman – the former senator from Minnesota and a prominent advisor for Mitt Romney – suggested over the weekend in an interview that no matter who the Republican nominee is, they are unlikely to fully repeal Obamacare.

“We’re not going to do repeal. You’re not going to repeal Obamacare… It’s not a total repeal… You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president… You can’t whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what’s been done.”

He goes on to say: “The Supreme Court first of all will have to deal with it. If you get rid of the individual mandate, then this whole thing may collapse.” Asked by the moderator whether this means other provisions will go away as well, Coleman says: “I don’t think they will go away, because I don’t think the Act works financially, it simply doesn’t work, if you have severability.” Coleman maintains that Republicans still “need to do health care reform” and suggests that he supports the approach put forward by Paul Ryan and Ron Wyden.

Coleman’s remarks are remarkable because every Republican candidate — including Romney — has vowed to make repealing the law a priority. Coleman is also the chairman of the American Action Network, which has urged the courts to strike down the law’s individual mandate and its Medicaid expansion.

While this is hardly earth-shattering news, for someone who is a senior advisor to the one who signed the disastrous RomneyCare bill and who himself could not even beat a certifiable public menace like Al Franken, by a large enough margin to overcome the Democrat margin-of-fraud, it has to be a bit off-putting to the Romney campaign to see him “spill the beans”.

I predicted nearly a year ago in one of my favorite forums that Romney was already toast and might well be gone from the primaries before they were concluded. It might be even sooner than that. Being the GOP Elite’s pick has a shorter shelf life than a Kardashian marriage nowadays.

With all of the hullabaloo over Mitt Romney’s “tax problems”, something far more important transpired in a Georgia court today.

As reported by The Post Email: (site appears to be down at the moment)

Atty. Orly Taitz informed The Post & Email moments ago that Georgia Administrative Hearings Judge Michael Malihi has denied Obama counsel’s request to quash subpoenas requesting original documentation of Obama’s birth, aliases and social security number application, school records, and other records.

Here is the text of order from Article II PAC (hat tip: Fellowship of the Minds)

ORDER ON MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENAS

Defendant, President Barack Obama, a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for the office of the President of the United States, has filed a motion to quash the subpoena compelling his attendance at the hearing on January 26, 2012. In support of his motion, Defendant argues that “if enforced, [the subpoena] requires him to interrupt duties as President of the United States” to attend a hearing in Atlanta, Georgia. However, Defendant fails to provide any legal authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend. Defendant’s motion suggests that no President should be compelled to attend a Court hearing. This may be correct. But Defendant has failed to enlighten the Court with any legal authority. Specifically, Defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is “unreasonable or oppressive, or that the testimony… [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party’s preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced.” Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(5). Defendant further alludes to a defect in service of the subpoena. However, the Court’s rules provide for service of a subpoena upon a party, by serving the party’s counsel of record. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(4). Thus, the argument regarding service is without merit.

Accordingly, Defendant’s motion to quash is denied.

SO ORDERED, this the 20th day of January, 2012.

MICHAEL M. MALIHI, Judge

Whether this will actually amount to more than a hill of paperwork, nobody really knows. But, it is good to see that there are some honorable people still in positions of power and will not gloss over what the propagandists dismiss as not worthy of coverage or call “kooky”.

Not much else can be said, except, “Thank you!”

Here is a good example of the Soros-funded, ACORN-run, Obama-directed Occupy version of Kristallnacht. These are scenes that the State Run Media will not show you, report on or even acknowledge.

As reported, these animals were trying to break into the D.C. Convention Center where Americans for Prosperity were hosting their “Defending the American Dream Summit.”. You saw them abusing AFP participants as they left, banging on the doors, attacking women, blocking traffic and spewing their Alinsky venom at and and all, cop and non-cop alike.

And maybe the most ironic thing in this video? A black man, with a two year old in his car, not allowed to pass, by a bunch of white thugs. Good luck seeing this on NBC or CNN.

To quote my buddy Wyatt, “Obama is sitting back, soaking it all in with his feet up on his desk. Every once in awhile, he’ll say something just obtuse enough to support these mobs without directly incriminating himself. But he is the leader of these mobs in the same way that Gotti could place a hit on the outside world from the Fed pen.”

Folks, this is all a dress rehearsal for the 2012 elections. You think it is bad now, heck, this is just pre-season. There will be a lot more going on then a few Black Panther clowns with Obama Batons, standing outside of polling places.

Well, here is something that should probably be filed under Friday Fun. But I would prefer not to pollute that barely-famous section with the likes of OWSers.

For all of the DNC and Obama wedding ceremonies and cork popping when it comes to politically and ideologically copulating with the OWSers (which some of them helped organize, partially with your tax money), they still will revert to the status quo.

That is, the status quo when it comes to the unwashed, Starbucks drinking, talking-points reading loons interfering with the Magic: The Gathering ceremony that will be the 2012 Democrat National Convention in Charlotte, NC.

From the Charlotte Observer:

To prepare for the Democratic National Convention, the city of Charlotte is considering an ordinance that would prohibit camping on all city property, which could stifle the ongoing Occupy Charlotte protest.

In addition, the ordinance would prohibit the possession of “noxious” substances, along with items such as pipes, chains or padlocks if their intended use would be to block a street, sidewalk or building entrance.

While the DNC usually does an FDR Detention Camp sweep of the homeless and others they find undesirable in the days and weeks leading up to their convention, with the OWSers, it seems like that local officials are poking about for a “solution”. Read, appeasment with their peasant class.

Mayor Anthony Foxx, a Democrat, said he was asking the city attorney’s office for an analysis on whether the city could legally evict the Occupy Charlotte protesters with an ordinance passed after they began camping.

“I don’t have a legal answer to that question yet,” Foxx said.

For the DNC, Foxx said it’s important to observe First Amendment rights, but his primary concern is that “the public health and safety be placed at a premium.”

Walton said the draft ordinance was just written, and city staff hasn’t reviewed it yet. A copy of the ordinance was released Thursday after being requested by the Observer.

Walton said it is too early to speculate on whether the Occupy Charlotte protesters would be grandfathered in.

Maybe Tom Cruise should put down the L. Hubbard books and start rehearsing for a revisit of “Born on the 4th of July”. After all, Hollywood, just like the Democrats can do no more than recycle their own ideas nowadays.

Not that anyone who has been paying any attention to the whole deadly circus in the Middle East is surprised by any of this, but it does belie the administration’s and media’s pathetic attempts to portray this as anything but a Sharia Domino Theory.

From NewsMax:

And [Abdul-Jalil] he laid out a vision for the post-Gadhafi future with an Islamist tint, saying Islamic Sharia law would be the “basic source” of legislation and existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified. In a gesture that showed his own piety, he urged Libyans not to express their joy by firing guns in the air, but rather to chant “Allahu Akbar,” or God is Great. He then stepped aside from the podium and knelt to offer a brief prayer of thanks.

As far as Gadhafi’s death is concerned, little was revealed. (though we have seen this movie before)

Libya’s transitional leader declared his country’s liberation Sunday after an 8-month civil war and set out plans for the future with an Islamist tone. The announcement was clouded, however, by international pressure to explain how ousted dictator Moammar Gadhafi had been captured alive days earlier, then ended up dead from a gunshot to his head shortly afterward.

Gadhafi’s death in circumstances that are still unclear, and the gruesome spectacle of his body laid out as a trophy in a commercial freezer and on public view, are testing the new Libyan leaders’ commitment to the rule of law. Even at the ceremony to declare liberation, a couple speakers in positions of authority essentially said Gadhafi got what he deserved.

Obama, of course, was pleased as punch:

President Barack Obama congratulated Libyans on the declaration.

“After four decades of brutal dictatorship and eight months of deadly conflict, the Libyan people can now celebrate their freedom and the beginning of a new era of promise,” he said.

Indeed. Public stonings of raped girls, dissidents beheaded and re-upping of Libya as a terrorist funding and participating state is right on schedule. Truly a “promising new era”.

With elections in Tunsia today and elections coming up in Egypt shortly, the big question will be who can hold a more honest election? They or the Democrat party in the United States? My bets are on the former.
