Talk about the potential greatness of Eric Holder. President Obama is expected to request $3.2 billion more to fight ISIS. Comparisons of real life foreign policy to Homeland episodes. The Supreme Court will hear a case that challenges ObamaCare through its provision of federal exchanges for states. The goal is to take the law down over one word that could be taken incorrectly. RJ pointed out that Justice Roberts set this tactic into motion after the Court ruled the law is Constitutional. The people that would be most immediately affected by this are the poor, who the Republicans don’t think vote anyway. This violation may anger these voters enough to urge them to oppose the GOP. Dr. Ben Carson has released a 40 min documentary that outlines his life since he’s going to run for President in 2016. Video of the teaser is shown. New Republican Sen. James Lankford spoke about his Biblical worldview in taking care of debt. Sen.

  2. Regarding Eric Holder, Ben reminded me of a podcast I quit listening to a while back, that essentially said “every time you hear the that the president wants to raise the minimum wage, you counter with [mockingly] ‘yeah, but drone strikes!.'”

    ….Yeah. Yeah, drone strikes. One is a tiny raise, one is the indiscriminate, lawless killing that might endanger Americans should one of the innocent’s families decide they want vengeance. One is some little reasonable thing Holder did, the other is the safety, security and confidence of one of the largest financial system.

    And his go-to argument was “yeah, well a Republican wouldn’t have done those things.” …..Okay?
    No one said that. The discussion didn’t go anywhere near “I wonder if a Republican would be better.”
