Apologies for no post

As Iran continues its relentless quest for nuclear weapons,
Israel is saying that hardened Iranian nuke sites are still vulnerable, fueling
remarks by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to the effect he believes such a
strike may take place by spring.
COMMENTS:
It is clear that Obama will not take military action to
resolve the issue. Israel simply must
protect itself. I think Panetta is
correct but, when the attack happens, we have to ask how Syria, China and
Russia will react. They will certainly not be worried about what the U.S. might
do if they get involved.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Should Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan recuse herself
from the Health Care case? (Loni ~ Santa
Fe, NM)
A. Not unless Clarence Thomas also recuses himself. Obviously, neither of the two intends to do
so and there is nothing in the law of this country that requires either to do
so. But, I wouldn’t worry about it. I think that this Court has the ability to reach
the proper decision and that they are NOT in Obama’s pocket by any means.
Q. I heard that Planned Parenthood is losing some
funding. What’s that story? (Carla ~
Burlingame, CA)
A. The world's leading breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure,
recently decided to cut their funding. Planned Parenthood has been under fire
from conservative and religious segments because it funds abortions with
taxpayer money. The Democrats have
started an all-out campaign to force the company to renew its funding or face
the consequences and the company says it will not bow to political
pressure.
Q. Well, it now appears that Romney is the anointed one. Who do you think he will choose as his Vice
Presidential candidate? (Morgan ~
Cottonwood, CA)
A. I am still hopeful that Mitt will not end up with the
nomination. But, if he does, I don't think he
will partner up with Rush Limbaugh.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“The Supreme Court, of course, has the
responsibility of ensuring that our government never oversteps its proper
bounds or violates the rights of individuals. But the Court must also recognize
the limits on itself and respect the choices made by the American people.”
~ Elena Kagan
