Judge Martin Feldman: 3 More High Profile Rulings from the Offshore Drilling Moratorium Buster
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThrust into the national spotlight following his decision that overturns President Barack Obama's six-month moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling, Judge Martin Feldman has been behind other controversial rulings during the course of his judicial career. Freedom of the Press: On Feb. 24, Feldman ruled in favor of The New York Times and the nonprofit news organization ProPublica in a libel case over the reporting of mistreatment of medical patients following Hurricane Katrina. Real Estate Development and RICO: On Sept. 13, Feldman dismissed a lawsuit filed by 50 residents of a housing ...
Sarah Palin Implicates Environmentalists For BP Oil Spill on Facebook
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIf "extreme environmentalists" were not successful in prohibiting land based oil drilling in the United States, then companies like BP would not have to resort to looking for oil in the deep oceans. It's an argument that's been made recently by the likes of conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer. And now, the same "blame-environmentalists-for-the-Gulf-oil-spill" conclusion is the one that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is pushing on her Facebook page. This afternoon, Ms. Palin lashed out at those who seek to protect the environment from the evils of oil drilling in a post titled, ...
Today's Coming Great Depression News
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe signs of the next great depression are everywhere you look. In fact, there's scarcely a piece of economic news that doesn't corroborate the nation's slide into financial ruin. Here then, is the latest doom and gloom:Everybody from every socio-economic group is heading to the local pawn shop to sell off whatever it is they own that still has any value so as to pay those mounting bills. Since banks aren't lending money any longer, pawn shops have become a refuge of last resort. The Federal Reserve will slash interest rates to an historic low. How low? Try 0.5 percent. If that doesn't work, ...
Debate Moderator Failed
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThough most polls are showing that Joe Biden "won" his debate with Sarah Palin last night, I couldn't help but feel a bit cheated by the whole thing. Why? Because the candidates were allowed to ramble on and on with their talking points. In effect, there was very little in the night that differed from the stump speeches each candidate delivers on a daily basis. Biden got to ramble on about the middle class, Scranton, how John McCain is like George Bush -- while Palin repeatedly kept gushing her "maverick" mantra. The responsibility for steering these candidates toward substantive matters, and ...
Sarah Palin 'Energy Expert'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyJohn McCain likes to lavish Sarah Palin with high praise. OK, it's a running-mate thing. Obama does it with Biden, too. But over the course of the last few weeks, the Arizona Senator, in his bid to introduce the country to Palin, has done his best to portray her as a reformer, a maverick, an enemy of earmarks, a singularly ethical person, and on and on. As each one of McCain's assertions has been shown to be less than credible, Palin's unfavorable ratings have steadily gone south. Truly, an unkonwn commodity is more valuable than one we have the opportunity to evaluate.But of all the hyperbole ...
