Lots of big stories this week. The first one we’ll tackle is the Obamacare roller coaster in court. On Tuesday, the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled that the language of Obamacare forbids subsidies in states that did not set up their own exchanges. Within hours, the Fourth Circuit ruled in the opposite direction. What are the the original source chances that the Supreme Court will take up this issue, and is it a serious threat to Obamacare itself?
Amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, we’d like to focus on the media’s coverage of the situation. Some accuse the media of being biased toward the Palestinians, while one MSNBC commentator was fired for accusing the network of being pro-Israel. Has the shop viagra online katerinafotopoulos.com mainstream media in general–and we’re talking here about the major news networks, major newspapers, etc.–been pro-Israel, pro-Palestinian, neutral?
Also this week, Texas Governor Rick Perry ordered up to a thousand National Guard troops to the Texas border to help deal with the influx of Central American immigrants attempting to illegally cross into the U.S. There is wide disagreement about whether this action is justified and http://www.bergeron.mentalpaint.net/it/stendra-senza-ricetta/ will be effective.
Finally, it has become increasingly clear that Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine are responsible for the downing of Malaysian Flight 17 last week. Much discussion here this week has been about President Obama’s response to the act. Some point out that Secretary of State John Kerry and U.N. Ambassador Samantha Powers have been much more forceful than the president, making his response look weak in comparison. Has the president been weak in the face of Russian aggression, and if so, has this weakness contributed to the situation?
Nick Brana, formerly of the Terry McAulliffe campaign, Gregory Clay of Gdclay.com, conservative writer and editor Brian McNicoll, and Jason Russell of Economics 21 discuss these issues.
