Obama regime makes another move against States Rights

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Regardless of your opinion of the ethics of the death penalty, it has alway been seen as a power legally exercised by the individual states.  Some states have it, other don’t, but it is up to each state to decide.

Not so under the Obama regime. Our Dear Leader‘s “Justice” department has instructed the DEA to seize  state government’s supply of sodium thiopental.  That is part of a three drug cocktail typically used in lethal injection executions.   By having the DEA seize this drug using rather sketch “concerns” about the way the drug was imported, which interestingly enough, the DEA/Justice department will no longer discuss.

If our Dear Leader doesn’t like the fact that some states still carry out the death penalty, he should have the guts to come out and say it, rather than hiding behind DEA raids where the agency refuses to discuss the reasons behind the agency seizing the property of state governments.

Quote of the Day

“…that when it comes to some Democrats and particularly the President, “high gas prices are not an unintended consequence of their policies: it is the means by which they will accomplish their goal.”  Their goal is to raise the price of gasoline so that you reduce your consumption of it.”

Aaron Worthing

Bonus quote from the same article:

“…high gas prices are an economy killer, so even if there is some modest increase in tax income from that tax hike in general, the drag on the economy will mean reduced taxes in other areas.  Again, they are depending on you being too stupid to see through all of this.”
