Two big items of note this week in the realm of the unaccountable statism. The first isn’t exactly regulatory, but relates to earlier stories that did directly involve the regulatory agencies (energy and health and human services to be precise). It is Obama’s continued, demonstrable contempt for the Constitution. Obama has openly declared that he won’t abide by a law passed by congress and signed by himself, the portion of the budget that defunds some of his czars. He’s also trying make an end run around the Surpreme Court’s ruling that struck down the DISCLOSE act, in an attempt to stifle free speech in the upcoming elections.
The other big item is the NLRB’s attack on business. One of its members has filed a complaint that would prevent Boeing from building a plant in South Carolina. If this is allowed, it has grave implications regarding our freedom of movement and association.
