President Obama will be giving the annual State of the Union address tonight. It will likely be full of socialist and Marxist rhetoric that is sure to please his base. In other words, it's a campaign speech. At least one Congressman, Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn, has decided to skip the event.
I'm sure Obama will forget to mention the fact that the Senate hasn't passed a budget in 1,000 days. Democrats have controlled that body the entire time which, of course, gives him even more incentive. Talk about a "do nothing" Congress.
Colorado
- The Independence Institute has a list of transparency legislation introduced this session.
- Unsurprisingly, Democrats killed off a bill that would grant Coloradans greater freedom to defend themselves.
- Teacher tenure reform was passed unanimously out of a joint committee and looked to be headed to a quick pass through the full Assembly.
- The state has officially appeal the Lobato case.
Everywhere else
- Everyone knows that the proper way to thank someone for giving you a place to sleep is to steal their stuff and pee on the floor.
- In a win for the 4th Amendment, the Supreme Court ruled that cops need to get a warrant to track you're vehicle with a GPS tracker. There's a fairly detailed analysis at the SCOTUS blog. The government made out pretty well, though.
- Newt Gingrich has pulled ahead of Mitt Romney in Florida. Newt is overcoming his various character flaws to gain support.
- It's scenes like this that make nullify the "socialization" argument against homeschooling.
- The FDA is looking at approving marijuana-based prescription drugs.
- Just because he was appointed illegally, doesn't mean that he should stop receiving a paycheck from the unions he's supposed to oversee. I'm sure there's no conflict of interest or anything.
- LightSquared tried to bribe Sen. Chuck Grassley to get the FCC to drop its probe. That won't help its chances in getting approval.
