Courtroom Suicide: Arsonist Dies After Guilty Verdict
Remembers those cyanide pills in the old James Bond movies? Maybe prominent Phoenix businessman Michael Marin had that in mind.
An investigation is underway, but authorities suspect that he may have swallowed some kind of poison immediately after being found guilty for torching the mansion that he apparently could no longer afford.
Here is the disturbing raw footage followed by a news report from locale TV:

Judge Rules Against Justice Department in Florida Voter Purge Case
How about some good news: Lost in all the Supreme Court news perhaps is that federal-government-run voter fraud suffered a setback this week at in a lower court:
A judge on Wednesday rejected the federal government’s attempt to block Florida’s voter purge of non-U.S. citizens, partly because the purge has been suspended.
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle said federal laws that prohibit the systematic removal of voters close to an election do not refer to noncitizens. He also accepted the state’s claim that its purging efforts are over for now.
The ruling came as part of a request by the U.S. Department of Justice, which sought a retraining order stopping the purge efforts...
“Leaving ineligible voters on the list is not a solution. Noncitizens should not be voting,” the judge said. “People need to know we are running an honest election.”Hinkle is a Clinton appointee.
Thinking About That Supreme Court ObamaCare Decision Sure is Taxing
It was bad enough that the Miami Heat won the NBA championship, and now the bureaucratic monstrosity known as ObamaCare is the law of the land. Could anything be more depressing or disillusioning or disheartening?
We haven't blogged about it up until know because we kept hoping that there would be a follow-up announcement from the Supreme Court to the effect that "hey, we were just messing with you, America...of course ObamaCare is unconstitutional and null and void." But it is not to be.
Although ruling that the law imposing socialized medicine on the U.S.was unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause, Chief Justice Roberts inexplicably upheld the law by a 5-4 vote based on Congress' taxing powers in the decision released on Thursday morning.
Up until the Arizona immigration law decision, Roberts was in general doing a fine job on the court, but here he let American down in a massive way.
Regardless of all the hype, despite the Obama administration's empty promises, virtually everyone's insurance premiums will go up along with their taxes. And, government-run healthcare means government-rationed healthcare, which leads to, yes, death panels.

Supreme Court Alienates America with Arizona Decision
If you're like most Americans, you probably suffered a severe case of heartburn today about the Supreme Court decision tossing most of Arizona's immigration law, S.B. 1070. While the High Court did uphold the "status check" part of the legislation, every silver lining has a cloud:
In a far more rational decision, the Supreme Court ruled in Knox v. SEIU late last week that the big union couldn't continue to steal money from government workers' paychecks. This decision was also discussed on FNC, but please disregard the liberal's tired and lame "police, firefighters and teachers" reference as the public sector is mostly made up of paper shufflers on perpetual coffee break who have nothing whatsoever to do with law enforcement:
The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police...“We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.Raise your hand if you are fed up with this lawless, pandering administration. Apparently Justice Scalia is:
