California Ban on Homosexual marriage ruled unconstitutional
The 9th Circuit court of appeals today in a 2 to 1 decision, upheld Judge Walker's ruling that California's voter approved ban on homosexual marriage was unconstitutional. The court ruled that the ban violated the 14th Amendment equal protection clause and that the People of California has no rational basis to ban homosexual marriage. Proponents of traditional marriage have vowed to file an immediate appeal. The case can be appealed to the full 9th Circuit court of appeals and or to the U.S. Supreme Court.

NY Assembly Speaker likens religious Equal Access bill to opening door to Ku Klux Klan
In less then one week, over sixty religious groups in the City of New York will be forced out onto the street as the Bloomberg Administration moves to deny religious groups the use of city public schools during non instructional time. The religious groups have rented city schools when school is not in session. Mayor Bloomberg has allowed other groups the use of city schools but has specifically targeted religious groups based on their view point. Taking an aggressive approach, the City moved to ban religious groups but the case dragged on in Federal court for almost a decade. When the U.S. Supreme court denied review of the case, the Mayor again moved to expel all religious groups. The New York State Senate stepped in and passed legislation similar to the Federal Equal access law that allows student religious groups the use of public schools when school is not in session. The federal law which has been upheld by the courts, has worked well to ensure equal access to all students without regard to their viewpoint.
In response to the Senate bill, Assembly Speaker Silver claimed that the Senate bill would "open the schools up to anybody. That would include the Ku Klux Klan". The comment is inconsistent with the proposed legislation and is inflammatory as the religious groups seeking to use the schools would never support legislation that would support the Klan and that includes minorities who have suffered at the hands of the Klan. The Speaker needs to clarify his remarks and needs provide factual evidence of his assertion. The right response would be for the Speaker to expedite his Chamber's bill and reconcile his version with the Senate. New York's faith community are not second class citizens. They have the power to vote and be heard. Hopefully the Speaker and the Assembly are listening.

Governor gives second State of the Union address, nothing new
The Governor declared, "I believe this state is at a crossroads, what we do today will determine the course of this state for decades to come." In his first year, he did what was expected, he passed a budget on time, made some cuts, enacted a wage freeze but did nothing to address the structural fiscal crisis facing the state for the next decade. What he did talk about was spending more money on education, Medicaid and on public projects. Where is his consolidation plan for State government? The number one problem is government spending. Again the Governor is ignoring the problem. With a failed leadership in the Assembly and the Senate, it's nothing new. It's Albany.

Archbishop Dolan: President's actions "precipitate a national conflict between church and state"
In a letter to the President last month, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops took issue with the Obama Administration's position that the Defense of Marriage Act is a form of sexual orientation discrimination no different then racial discrimination. This position was contained in a brief filed by the Department of Justice in the matter of Golinski v. U.S. Office of Personal Management arguing that the strict scrutiny standard of legal review should apply to DOMA. In his letter, the Archbishop cautioned the President that “The administration’s failure to change course on this matter will, as the attached analysis indicates, precipitate a national conflict between Church and State, harming both institutions, as well as our Nation as a whole.”

September 7, 2011 President Needs to change direction
With zero job growth in August and unemployment above 9%, the President's economic experiment with a pure Keynesian approach has been a total failure. The result is record deficits, record debt, a stagnant economy, uncertainty within the business community and a lack of confidence among consumers. The President needs to acknowledge the fact that his current policies have failed and he will move to limit the role of government in terms of unnecessary regulation, taxation and spending. Plain and simple, government will get out of the way.

Once the bill was signed into law, a tax benefit companies receive for providing retiree drug benefits was eliminated. Based on accounting and financial rules, the companies are obligated to disclose any anticipated costs that become known in the quarter upon which the legislation is enacted. The first company to take a charge against their profits was AT & T which took a billion dollar charge. The total estimated cost is 4.5 billion.
