Criminal charges dropped against Aaron Walker, but gag order remains

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 15, 2012 15 Comments

Last night Patterico reminded us Aaron Walker Still Silent: Outlaw judge Cornelius Vaughey’s ruling remains in effect. Aaron cannot truthfully blog about public figure Brett Kimberlin without violating a judge’s blatantly unconstitutional prior restraint of his speech. Just thought I’d mention that. Since it’s still true. While Walker...

Elizabeth Warren’s Google problem

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 15, 2012 37 Comments

Rick Santorum had a Google problem. And so does Elizabeth Warren, although of a different nature. Elizabeth Warren wants her message to be about evil factory owners who live off of others, and the middle class which is being"hammered" (her new favorite word). Whatever her messaging intends to...

Elizabeth Warren failed the test for “truthfulness and credibility and honesty”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 15, 2012 25 Comments

Scott Brown hasn't said much himself about Elizabeth Warren's Cherokee fraud. But now he's going there, and good for him. With each passing day that Warren clings to her claim to be Native American, Cherokee, a minority and a "woman of color," she reveals a deep and...

In Rhode Island, the sidewalks are belong to the homeless and their lawyers

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 14, 2012 32 Comments

Rhode Island is being crushed by pension debt, our cities are suffocating, we're driving businesses away with regulatory minutiae, and we're hemorrhaging young people. Oh, and we just threw away up to $75 million on a video game company run by a former baseball player. So...

Sheldon Whitehouse, no will, no way

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 14, 2012 53 Comments

Elizabeth Warren is standing by her claim of Cherokee heritage even though there is no evidence to back up that claim, and plenty of evidence that it is not true. On Morning Joe this morning she refused to back down even an inch. She also mocked the...
