Inmate healthcare claims represent the 4th Strike – the final opportunity for the intermittent and permanent persistent offender to pillage the innocent.

California conservatives should co-opt the recent Supreme Court decision, embrace the importance of marriage as a unifying and positive institution in America, and propose a strong pro-marriage, pro-family agenda. It is time for conservatives to ask the question: does our moral, religious unease, distaste, or other objection to homosexuality outweigh our desire for a stable society in which the marriage and family laws encourage and enforce commitment. Less than a century after the famous "monkey trial," America once again stands at the precipice of a traditionalist versus secularist battle over the fate of a nation and a culture. Governing is about compromise. Politics is about winning. And Conservative progress requires both. No government program can replicate the respect and hope borne from the blessings and, yes, tragedies of life. If conservatives are adept enough to recognize the opportunity to win not only the Latino vote, but public policy gains long out of reach, then the GOP can become a permanent majority. Or, it can ignore the prospects for inclusion, opportunity, and success, and drive over the cliff on an overly constrictive "enforcement only" truck. The Left's recent attempts to subordinate the President's Article II war powers constitute not only an attempt to co-opt powers expressly granted to the Executive Branch under the U.S. Constitution, but also mark a shift away from the legal orthodoxy in which constitutional rights serve to invalidate undesirable state or federal legislation. |
