*I don’t understand why every new building constructed doesn’t make use of some renewable energy source – solar and wind would be the most obvious examples.

*There’s nothing worse than disguised racism that employees have a hard time proving exists. Sometimes, the more they try to prove their case, the more suspicious they look.

*Last week the Supreme Court decided in favor of the universal healthcare statute passed under the Obama administration and upheld the individual mandate.

*GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney has said only one thing about the Affordable Care Act. It must go and on day one of his administration if elected he will start the ball rolling to repeal it.

*There was never much doubt that if the Supreme Court ever got a chance to decide the constitutionality of the health care reform law that it would be in for rough sledding from the court’s five conservatives.

*The U.S. Supreme Court almost certainly will vote before the November presidential elections on whether to scrap race as a factor in college admissions. The conservative majority has time and again tipped their hand that they are chomping to do away with it. The recusal of moderate justice Elena Kagan virtually assures they’ll get their [...]
*In its upcoming session the Supreme Court will decide whether race will be a factor I college admissions. Their ruling will be a major factor in determining the degree to which we live in a post racial society.
