Let that sink in: Al Qaida's lawyers are now occupying high level positions at the Justice Department, including the National Security Division of the Justice Department.
We now know why the Anointed One wants to have the Islamic terrorists' trials removed from military tribunals and have their prosecution handled by the Department of Justice.
Barak Hussein Obama wants the terrorists found not guilty and released.
To ensure this occurs, Eric Holder and B. Hussein Obama have packed the Justice Department with political appointees that have represented the terrorists in Gitmo.
That's right: the terrorist defense attorneys are now in charge of their prosecution.
In the real legal world, this is called a conflict of interest. Once an attorney obtains a client, that client is for all practical purposes always that attorney's client, and the attorney cannot ever bring or work on a case against that client. Attorneys can and have been disbarred for such behavior.
All of this has arisen from a simple set of questions Senator Charles Grassley asked of Eric Holder nearly six months ago. Addressing Holder about the terrorists' defense attorneys now working at the Justice Department, Grassley asked: Who are they, which terrorists did they represent, and what are their duties at the Justice Department today?
Grassley asked because he knew of two: current Principal Deputy Solicitor General Neal Katyal represented Osama bin Laden's driver, and Jennifer Daskal, now an official in the National Security Division of the Justice Department, represented several detainees through her work for the extremely liberal Human Rights Watch.
Since that question, Holder has responded that there are "at least" nine such persons, but he will not reveal who they are or who they represented. Holder continues to hide the names and jobs of the other terrorist's lawyers now embedded at Justice.

Beyond Incredulity
The Anointed One has really shown his true Statist/Syndicalist nature this week. After being stung by the Scott Brown election, B. Hussein Obama wanted the voters to know that he "got it" and will focus like a laser on jobs.
I suppose he meant con jobs. So, with this new focus on jobs, B. Hussein Obama invited the GOP to an open discussion about the health care bill while the Democrats and Rahm "it through" Emmanuel continued their back room scheming to enact the government takeover of health care. B. Hussen Obama announced his own plan for socialized health care.
And now this: B. Hussein Obama of the corrupt Chicago machine wants to appoint SEIU president and Marxist Andy Stern to Obama's federal deficit panel. Exactly what does Andy Stern bring to a deficit panel other than a demand for more wealth to non-working sluggards and illegal aliens, the explosion of the federal debt by way of healthcare socialization, and a penchant for running a criminal enterprise called the SEIU?
B. Hussein Obama's occupation of the White House cannot end soon enough.

Toyota vs Government Motors
I warned earlier that it is fundamentally unfair for other car companies to compete against the industry's regulator which is also a manufacturer. Toyota, the most successful car company in the world, is finding this out the hard way.
The US government cannot be both a regulator and a competitor. Certainly the anti-trust laws or RICO laws are being violated by this anti-competitive behavior.

Obama to Double Down on Socialism
For nearly half a year, the American people have pointed out the most outrageous and costly elements of the Democrat's socialist health care nationalization plan. And for half a year, Obama's lackeys have claimed "that's not the President's plan."
This week, B. Hussein Obama is set to reveal his plan. It turns out that the Reid-Pelosi plan was not costly or socialist enough for a true Statist like the Anointed One.
To the extent the Federal government should be involved in health care "reform", it must be to reduce the Federal role in health care -- after all, everyone agrees that the existing health care projections and expenditures in the Federal budget are unsustainable. But only in a Statist's wildest Socialistic dreams could an exercise in cost reduction result in the quintupling of the size of the program and budget.
Unlike most of the Conservative commentators, I hope the GOP does meet with B. Hussein Obama on television this week, and they should launch a principled and unrelenting critique of the Anointed One's plan, destroying it element by element. The American people do not want Socialized medicine, do not want a Federal takeover of health care, and do not want Washington DC running their lives.
The GOP does not need to propose an alternative plan to win this. Doing nothing is better than enacting any Democrat's plan. It is appropriate and instructive to recall the first principle of the Hippocratic oath -- first do no harm.
Update: As more details come out, the Anointed One's plan has all the tried and failed socialist remedies: higher taxes, higher government spending, higher deficits, more government control over citizen lives and medical decisions, prices controls, a huge new bureaucracy, and illogical reasoning: we're spending your money to save it.
Additional Update: Follow this media talking point: "Mandating insurance coverage for all Americans will mean that the insured will stop paying for the medical expenses of the uninsured. And there are government insurance vouchers to pay for insurance for those who can't afford it."

More Army Jihadi Coverup?
Word is leaking out that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson, South Carolina were arrested around Christmas 2009 in a food poisoning plot. Coming after the coverups that went on associated with jihadist Major Nidal Malik Hasan, this is not a hopeful sign that the Army gets it.

Joe Stack - Terrorist
Today, a man who claimed to be tired of watching the US Government continue to punish the productive in favor of illegal immigrants, the unproductive, labor unions, and leftist intelligentsia flew his private plane into an IRS office in Austin, Texas.
Like all terrorists, Joe Stack misdirected his attack against people who were not the cause of his angst. All he harmed were innocent people, no more at the controls of the government he came to see as opposing him as he himself was.
So for those of us who also believe the Government has grown far beyond its constitutional limitations, life just got tougher. Now, Big Sister Janet can point to Joe Stack and say "Ah-ha! I told you right-wingers were terrorists!"
But life should be a little tougher for leftists as well. Let us see if the New York Times will delve into a real discussion about whether Joe Stack was an ideologically driven murderer or perpetrated an act designed to call attention to a legitimate plight. We'll see.
Joe Stack, you died a schmuck. You died for nothing. Your act will achieve nothing positive. In short - EPIC FAIL you terrorist loser.

Bye Bye Bayh
Evan Bayh, Democrat Senator from Indiana, announced that he would not see reelection in 2010.
You may recall that Evan Bayh followed in the footsteps of his father, liberal Senator Birch Bayh. Evan was born with his hand in your pocket.
State run media will try to pain Evan Bayh as a moderate or centrist, but recall that Evan Bayh voted for a government dictatorship over the medical practice, and without requiring a Louisiana Purchase or a Cornhusker Kickback.
There are no moderate Democrat Senators. To say otherwise is a lie.
