ObamaCare No Perfect Game

by TJ Wihera | 10:56 pm, July 23, 2009

Today, White Sox Pitcher Mark Buehrle pitched a perfect game – only the 18th that has been thrown in the MLB’s history. It’s an incredible feat. After the game, Buehrle got a call from President Obama, and a White House spokesman said that Obama told Buehrle the game was “an incredible achievement” and “something that [...]

Broken Window Fallacies

by TJ Wihera | 1:36 pm, July 21, 2009

Parts of the Metro Area got rocked last night by a wicked hail storm. When I arrived at the office in Lakewood, I found broken windows, broken windshields, and destroyed trees. Certainly, the next few days will be very good days for those who sell glass and dispose of tree limbs. But as Bastiat pointed [...]

Ricci Decision a Phyrric Victory

by TJ Wihera | 11:43 am, June 29, 2009

In its decision in Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court sided with Firefighters in New Haven who were discriminated against because they were white. As Justice Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion: We conclude that race-based action like the City’s in this case is impermissible under Title VII unless the employer can demonstrate a strong [...]

The “Strength” of Humility

by TJ Wihera | 10:36 am, June 8, 2009

According to Fox News: The United States may have to offer some form of “good will gesture” to secure the release of the two American journalists sentenced to prison Monday in North Korea, sources said, despite the State Department’s tough talk over the weekend. With the anniversary of D-Day still fresh in our minds, it [...]

Liberal “Generosity”

by TJ Wihera | 12:21 am, June 2, 2009

The City of Denver is offering free construction permits during the first 15 days of June. How strangely in line with property rights! Good golly, it’s like they gave a conservative the chance to put forth an idea, but since they knew you can’t have too much of a good thing, they decided to cap [...]

On Citizens and Subjects

by TJ Wihera | 2:33 pm, May 29, 2009

A Thursday story in the Washington Post notes that Virgina is banning people from smiling in their driver’s license photo. Unfortunately, the story makes a serious error when it notes that “The [DMV] would like to develop a facial recognition system that could compare customers‘ photographs over time to prevent fraud and identity theft.” [Emphasis [...]

This is the Business Judges Have Chosen

by TJ Wihera | 11:06 am, May 27, 2009

Pop quiz! Who said this? Regardless of our views as individuals on this question of policy, we recognize as judges and as a court our responsibility to confine our consideration to a determination of the constitutional validity and legal effect of the measure in question. It bears emphasis in this regard that our role is [...]

My gun is safer than your dog.

by TJ Wihera | 10:40 am, May 21, 2009

I recently saw an advertisement for a service that trained companion/protection dogs. One of the selling points on the ad was that their trained attack dogs are safer than a firearm. If your jaw isn’t on the floor, it’s because you mis-read the last sentence. They claimed that a dog is safer than a firearm. [...]

Congress Shall Make No Law

by TJ Wihera | 10:31 am, May 14, 2009

Yesterday, Sarah Palin released a statement  expressing her support for Carrie Prejean and “blasting” those who have criticized her so vehemently. In her statement, Palin also said: I applaud Donald Trump for standing with Carrie during this time. And I respect Carrie for standing strong and staying true to herself, and for not letting those [...]
