Urgent Calls Needed Against Anti Gun ObamaCare
Tomorrow will be as important a day as any in our lifetimes in determining whether the anti-gun health care bill moves forward. In the Senate, we are faced with a health care bill that: * Costs $2.5 trillion during its first ten years of full implementation (2014-2023); * Increases insurance premiums and imposes $376 billion in tax increases - many on the middle class; and * Cuts Medicare by $465 billion, while increasing health costs by over $100 billion. ACTION: Call your two U.S. Senators. Please urge them to vote against "cloture" on the "motion to proceed" to HR 3590. | Attorney General Holder Reveals Aggressive Gun Control In Response to Ft.

Of Arms and The Law
Maybe we should just legalize bribery....
As it is, Congressional leaders have to buy votes by giving things to a legislator's district, which costs us far more than would a simple bribe. If, for example, the leadership needed a vote to pass health care legislation, I really doubt even a greedy senator would ask for $100,000,000. | Permits for toy guns

There's quite a discussion at the Volokh Conspiracy, regarding today's decision that calls into question the Lautenberg Amendment.

The wording certainly indicates that the court is taking the challenge seriously and wants the parties to do so as well. Opinion here.
