ACRU: Obama Made Illegal Recess Appointments to NLRB

By |2013-11-26T11:46:58-05:00November 26th, 2013|

Group’s Supreme Court brief supports private company against negative ruling by a National Labor Relations Board that lacked a constitutionally legal quorum.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 26, 2013) — President Obama violated the Constitution by claiming to have made three appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) when the Senate was not in recess, so a ruling made by that body is invalid, the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) argues in a friend of the court brief filed Monday at the U.S. Supreme Court. President Obama is the first President in U.S. history to try to make recess appointments that bypass Senate […]

We Must Repeal Obamacare To Make Society Much More Humane

By |2020-04-23T21:57:05-04:00November 25th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published November 18, 2013 on Forbes.com.

In a Wall Street Journal commentary on November 11, Alan Blinder purports to tell us why, despite a “botched rollout,” Obamacare is still worth it. “America cannot be a humane society if we leave 15% of our population uninsured,” he explains.

I agree that America cannot be a humane society unless we have some means to assure health care for all. But in context, his quoted statement above could not be more silly, and intellectually embarrassing.

Alan, is Princeton so intellectually corrupt these days that no one […]

Entitlement Reform, Tea Party Style

By |2013-11-25T13:30:17-05:00November 25th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published November 13, 2013 on the American Spectator website.

The Tea Party/Republican House majority was elected in 2010 to stop the runaway Obama/Progressive Democrat big government spending spree. And it has had a decisive effect in that regard, as recorded in the annual CBO budget report released last week.

Federal spending soared from $2.655 trillion in 2006, when the Democrat Congress was elected to replace the Republican Congress, to $3.6 trillion in fiscal 2011, reflecting the last spending legislation adopted by that completely Democrat Congress in the prior year, an increase of […]

Clarence Thomas vs. Barack Obama on Gettysburg, American Greatness

By |2013-11-20T12:28:45-05:00November 20th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published November 19, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

When asked last week how he ended up on the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Clarence Thomas said, “It was totally Forrest Gump,” in a revealing–and hilarious–on-stage interview at last week’s Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention.

This full-length interview was a window into the soul of America’s most conservative High Court justice–whose remarks on Gettysburg could not draw a more stark contrast with President Barack Obama.

Thomas was the keynote speaker at last week’s annual gathering of the brightest conservative legal stars in America. He sat […]

Feeling the Pain and Assigning the Blame

By |2013-11-18T13:37:21-05:00November 18th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published November 17, 2013 on The Washington Times website.

When Bill Clinton jumps off the bus over embarrassing prevarications, you know it’s getting serious.

The former president’s rebuke last week of President Obama for repeatedly lying to Americans that they could keep their health insurance policies under Obamacare shows that the Comeback Kid still has an acute ability to feel our pain. Also, that he’s prepared to throw anyone under the bus in order to get back into the White House behind Hillary’s skirt.

There is rich irony in a sitting president being lectured for […]

Obama's Insurance 'Fix' is Unconstitutional

By |2013-11-18T13:22:11-05:00November 18th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published November 14, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Outlets are quoting Democratic operative Howard Dean saying of President Barack Obama suspending certain Obamacare requirements, “I wonder if he has the legal authority to do this.”

To remove all doubt: The Take Care Clause of the Constitution absolutely forbids any president from doing exactly what Obama did Thursday.

Obama said he would allow insurance companies to keep offering previously-offered insurance plans that Americans would like to keep. Nobody knows if this means all plans, or only some of them, and how the White House will make such […]

A 'Sorry' Excuse for a President

By |2013-11-15T14:10:15-05:00November 15th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Jan LaRue was published November 15, 2013 on the American Thinker website.

President Obama is “sorry” that millions of Americans have had their health insurance plans cancelled despite his promises that ObamaCare would not cause this.

Is Obama sorry he’s been caught in multiple material lies about his disastrous namesake, or is it the “godly sorrow” of Scripture that “brings repentance” and rights wrongs?

Obama repeatedly has professed to be a Christian. His “pastor in chief”, Joshua DuBois, has a new book, The President’s Devotional, a compilation of devotions that he sent daily to Obama’s Blackberry since […]

Does Washington Know Best?

By |2013-11-13T15:28:57-05:00November 13th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published November 13, 2013 on Townhall.com.

According to some estimates, there are more than 100 million traffic signals in the U.S., but whatever the number, how many of us would like Washington, in the name of public health and safety, to be in sole charge of their operation? Congress or a committee it authorizes would determine the position of traffic signals at intersections, the length of time the lights stay red, yellow and green, and what hours of the day they can be flashing red.

While you ponder that, […]

The Coming Revelation of the 'Global Warming' Fraud Resembles the Obamacare Lie

By |2013-11-12T17:39:26-05:00November 12th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published November 12, 2013 on Forbes.com.

The second shoe is preparing to drop to shatter the world view of so-called Progressives. Coming, global revelations will demonstrate the fraud behind the theory of man-caused, catastrophic, global warming, just like the real world has shattered the falsehoods behind Obamacare.

That is because the underlying reason for both frauds was the same: to expand government power. Enablers went along with the fraud in both cases for the same underlying reason – political correctness. In both cases, going along with the cause for the assumed public good […]

The Coming Obamacare Bailout

By |2013-11-12T16:55:08-05:00November 12th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published November 5, 2013 on the American Spectator website.

Think back to the fall of 2008. Congress was asked to pass a $700 billion taxpayer bailout for Wall Street. We were told it had to be passed, or else the economy would collapse, perhaps into another Great Depression.

House conservatives voted it down. The stock market fell hundreds of points in response. In the ensuing panic, Congress went along and passed the bailout.

That bailout, and the insane, nearly $1 trillion “stimulus” bill passed just a few months later as Obama’s […]
