WHEW! (Open Thread)

Yes, yes – we’re back up and running here at the ST blog. Sorry for the inconvenience. Apparently my site was switched to a new server today and something didn’t copy over properly and as a result it was showing up as an icky generic site for a couple of hours (at least). I didn’t know until I tried to log in around 12:30 and saw some things that didn’t look right, and also got several emails from readers expressing concern. Hosting Matters fixed it quickly once I made them aware of it, so all is now well in ST’s world again

At the time I logged in I had about 30 minutes to kill, but no more – so an open thread it will have to be until later today/early tonight.

In the meantime, the big story of the day: The SCOTUS has reversed the New Haven, CT firefighters ruling Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge. Malkin’s got a link round-up here.

Back later.

In the meantime, the leftists let us know exactly what they think of “stare decises”: it means nothing to them if they disagree with the majority of the SCOTUS. So says Ginsberg in her disagreement, and some heavyweight donks (sorry for the pun) have weighed in with agreement, that the decision is not long for this world and will soon be overturned as soon as His Hollowness can get rid of one of the abusive members of the court who believes the court should follow what the Constitution says.

How quaint a notion.

GWR, I don’t know if that would help. How much money would it take to wipe away my tears?? I just don’t think the world has enough.

Hey How about Obama telling the world that the coup in Honduras is illegal. Now I might have faulty information but wasn’t the military trying to stop the President from illegally staying on for a 3rd term??? Is this what we can expect from Barack in 2012 or 2016, please God not that long. – Lorica

Willing to consider the other side, but I really think Larry Kissell Would Crush Pat McCrory in 2010.

Lorica, the way this administration wastes money, I figure they’d never miss a billion or so. Besides, if I used the right spin on my bailout request, The One could claim the money “saved jobs”, or some other such nonsense.

As for Honduras, Mary Anastasia O’Grady has a very clear and well-written summary of the situation in today’s WSJ: Honduras Defends Its Democracy.

On another topic…dare we hope the SCOTUS might get it right a second time in one session? They’re going to take another look at McCain-Feingold. Maybe free speech will enjoy a small comeback before Obama and Pelosi and their minions can stamp it out completely.

military sent its president packing for abusing the nation’s constitution.

More prophetic words have never been spoken??? Love the 1st paragraph there GWR.

It will be a miracle if Honduran patriots can hold their ground.

I pray that this miracle happens.

Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court’s order.

Where was Hilary and Barack when this illegal action happened?? I am mad enough to cuss right now.

Many Hondurans are going to be celebrating Mr. Zelaya’s foreign excursion. Street protests against his heavy-handed tactics had already begun last week. On Friday a large number of military reservists took their turn. “We won’t go backwards,” one sign said. “We want to live in peace, freedom and development.”

Sounds like a good country being run by smart, non deceived people.

Unlike Obama supporters.

Besides opposition from the Congress, the Supreme Court, the electoral tribunal and the attorney general, the president had also become persona non grata with the Catholic Church and numerous evangelical church leaders. On Thursday evening his own party in Congress sponsored a resolution to investigate whether he is mentally unfit to remain in office.

And yet the bb brains who run this country have denounced those trying to keep the rule of law. expletive deleted

Wow All I have to say is great article GWR Thank you for posting it. – Lorica
