March 2010, when President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection

Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), the administration has published
in the Federal Register 109 final regulations governing how Obamacare

How Texas Uses Asset Forfeiture To Steal From Citizens
Policing for profit in the lone star state. Asset forfeiture allows law enforcement agencies to confiscate money, property or other assets allegedly obtained through illicit means such as the commission of a crime. Forfeited assets are typically used to fund crime-fighting programs. Unfortunately, forfeiture laws are often abused by the ... MOREThe Reasons To Doubt The Feds Respect For Pot Laws
by Jacob Sullum. Last week, nearly 10 months after voters in Colorado and Washington decided to legalize marijuana, the U.S. Justice Department finally responded. Its announcement, which took the form of a memo to U.S. attorneys from Deputy Attorney General James Cole, promised neither acceptance nor confrontation, saying only ... MORETom Leonard: New Gold Rush Proves Anti-Frackers Wrong
The best economic news in decades. As he takes me on a tour of his buzzing little town, mayor Brent Sanford points out the acres of development that have already happened — the giant grocery store, the smart restaurant, the school extension and the endless housing developments. And he tells me what’s still to come — a smart ... MORE
24-Hour Waiting Period For Tattoos Proposed in D.C.
by Mike DeBonis. Some popular impulse purchases — tattoos and body piercings — could soon become less impulsive if District health regulators have their way. A mandatory 24-hour waiting period is among the provisions included in a 66-page package of draft regulations governing the “body art” industry released by the city Health ... MOREBrad Tuttle: End Of The Road For Speed Traps?
Low speed limits make roads less safe. Politicians, driver advocacy groups and even the police are trying to outlaw speed traps, not only because they’re annoying, but because when speed limits are too low, roads become more — not less — dangerous. Most drivers understand the need for speed limits. And yet they loathe speed traps ... MORECarl Svanberg: U.S. Should Not Intervene In Syria
It makes no difference to victims what weapon is used. On August 21, Syria crossed the line by allegedly using chemical weapons against its own people. Obama has, therefore, decided that it’s time for the US to punish Syria. Assuming he gets Congress on his side, the US will once more be dragged into another senseless war in the Middle ... MOREThomas Sowell: Serious About Syria?
Campaigning is Obama's strong suit, not governing. Why are we even talking about taking military action in Syria? What is that military action supposed to accomplish? And what is the probability that it will in fact accomplish whatever that unknown goal might be? What is painfully clear from President Obama's actions, inactions and ... MORESteven Greenhut: California's Slippery Gun-Control Slide
Gun-control push more than closing "loopholes." Supporters of the latest spate of gun-control bills that will soon make their way to the governor’s desk insist they only are trying to close “loopholes” and that they won’t deprive Californians of their right to bear arms. But to peer at the future of
gun ownership in California, one might look ... MORE
Teresa Mull: States' Rights Only Apply To Getting High
Feds don't hesitate to interfere everywhere else. The federal government is not known for being consistent, except, of course, when it comes to being inconsistent. Staying true to form, the Obama administration has decided randomly to respect states’ rights for once, saying it will not challenge policies put in place by Washington ... MORESteve Chapman: The Endless Quest For Credibility
Credibility is overrated. The United States boasts the most powerful military on Earth. We have 1.4 million active-duty personnel, thousands of tanks, ships and planes, and 5,000 nuclear warheads. We spend more on defense than the next 13 countries combined. Yet we are told we have to bomb Syria to preserve our credibility in world. Really? ... MORE
