Fwd: Morning Bell: No Rush to Judgment on New START

06/24/2010 No Rush to Judgment on New START Last week, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) expressed concern over the U.S.-Russian Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) now before the Senate. The senator particularly questioned the treaty's limits on America's "ability to advance our missile defense" and its "failure to deter proliferation and future attacks on our nation and allies." Given the consequences that New START poses for U.S. national security and the calls for its swift passage, Inhofe is right to ask questions – and the entire Senate is obligated to do so, as well. One of the Senate's most important functions under the Constitution is to offer its "advice and consent" on treaties. This is a vital prerogative because it checks and balances the Executive Branch, which is responsible for negotiating treaties. All treaties deserve careful scrutiny because they represent a solemn commitment by the United States to other sovereign states. But arms control treaties are particularly important because they concern our security, which the American people created the government to protect. A bad arms control treaty is not just an insult to the serious business of diplomacy. It can pose a direct threat to our interests, and those of our allies.

Fwd: Morning Bell: Time to Dump the Afghanistan Timeline

06/22/2010 Time to Dump the Afghanistan Timeline The Washington Post reports today that Gen. Stanley McChrystal, U.S. commander in Afghanistan, apologized for an upcoming article in Rolling Stone magazine that portrays him and senior officials on his team as dismissive of top Obama administration officials. As a result, General McChrystal has been summoned to the White House to explain his comments. It is a case of poor judgment on the part of the general and his staff to air comments on the character of senior civilian leaders to a reporter, but both the White House and the brass need to put this media gaff aside and focus on the real problem - destroying al Qaeda, defeating the Taliban and helping establish an Afghanistan that can govern itself. As long as we are being frank, we ought to acknowledge that problem #1 in the president's strategy was setting an artificial timeline for withdrawal. That led our military leaders to question the strategy in Afghanistan and put tremendous, unnecessary pressure on our armed forces to accomplish the task at hand. And while that timeline provoked questions among top brass, it also led everyone involved to question America's resolve, from the government in Kabul, to the people in the villages, to the terrorists in the caves, and to the military in Pakistan. In particular, that has led Pakistan to continue to play a dangerous double game, trying to "manage" the Taliban rather than defeat them and root out al Qaeda. We have already seen the consequences - the Times Square Bomber admitted he was trained by the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistan, and he was sent here to kill Americans. As Heritage regional expert Lisa Curtis writes: By highlighting that the U.S. will begin withdrawing troops in July 2011, President Obama signals to Afghans and others that the U.S. is not truly committed to prevailing over the Taliban. This weakens Afghan resolve to resist the Taliban now for fear they will be back in power in the near future. It also reinforces Pakistan's inclination to hedge on its support for the Afghan Taliban leadership based on its territory.

What We're Reading: The Rise of Modern Judicial Review, by Christopher Wolfe.   Will the Constitution Survive? Next week, the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin confirmation hearings for President Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan. This nomination provides an opportunity to ask serious questions about the Constitution and its meaning. Since the early 20th Century, progressives have called for a "living constitution," a document not bound by eternal truths of the Declaration but one that evolves as the necessities of modern times dictate. This attempt to divorce the Constitution from the eternal principles of limited government is by no means finished. Are we prepared to withstand this assault and recover America's constitutional principles?  Will we defend the proposition that the meaning of our Constitution is found in the meaning of the words, rather than the inventions of the modern Supreme Court? We have a variety of sources to help you think about and defend this important Founding document. Matthew Spalding offers an overview of the significance of the Constitution in his book, We Still Hold These Truths: Rediscovering Our Principles, Reclaiming Our Future, arguing that the Constitution contains eternal principles that do not evolve. If that is the case, how should one read it and apply it to modern problems? Keith Whittington explains the originalist approach in a How to Read the Constitution: Self-Government and the Jurisprudence of Originalism. And, for a clause by clause analysis of the Constitution with essays from leading Constitutional scholars look no further than The Heritage Guide to the Constitution. If you want to keep up with all the issues in this Supreme Court vacancy, visit The Federalist Society's SCOTUSreport for key news and commentary. If Ms. Kagan is confirmed, she must pledge to perform her duties faithfully according to the Constitution. But it's not the job of a Supreme Court justice alone to defend the Constitution--it is the task of every government official. Moreover, each citizen should take the time to learn and to defend this document. After all, our Constitution created a republic, but it's up to us to keep it.                                                 Quote of the Week If it were to be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the constitution and Laws - the first growing out of the last. . . . A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government. ~ Alexander Hamilton, Essay in the American Daily Advertiser For more quotes, visit westillholdthesetruths.org About The Heritage Foundation Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institute -- a think tank -- whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

Fwd: Side Effects: Bureaucracy in a Bind

June 22, 2010 Bureaucracy in a Bind Health care is a life-and-death matter. It's also a huge part of our economy (one-sixth, to be exact). With so much at stake, it makes sense to "go slow," when it comes to reforming the system. But rather than take the time to get it right, the liberal leaders of Congress rammed through a wholesale restructuring of the system without giving their rank and file enough time to read—much less comprehend—what they were up to. The rush to "reform" didn't stop there, either. The Obamacare bill imposed a host of short-term implementation deadlines on the Department of Health and Human Services. Turns out that HHS can't make them. It doesn't help that HHS seems unsure of its own authorities. We know this, because the "Transparency in government" section of the bill required HHS to list, by April 22, all the Secretary's new authorities granted under Obamacare. They couldn't do it. Instead, they simply reprinted the table of contents for the entire bill. Then there are the task forces that should have been stood up last month. May 7 was the deadline for the Secretary to establish a task force to improve access to health care in Alaska. The not so aptly named EARLY Act called for an up-and-running breast cancer task force by May 23. But both panels are still stuck in the planning stages. No one will die because of these missed deadlines, but the trend is worrisome. If HHS can't get its act together for the simple, preliminary stuff, how will it do when it has to address complicated and weighty manners under deadline? As Jonathan Strong notes in The Daily Caller: "The issue is important because vast industry sectors are trying to plan their own implementations of the health-care law and most of the details remain in bureaucrats' hands, leaving a vacuum of uncertainty about the final burdens the law will impose." Part of the problem could be that HHS is so busy trying to patch over some of the more unpopular features of Obamacare that it doesn't have the time to actually implement it. The department has spent a lot of time browbeating insurers to extend desired mandatory coverages ahead of schedule, for example. And it certainly spared no effort or expense to send millions of seniors a propagandistic brochure from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proclaiming the benefits of Obamacare—even though the claims fly in the face of economic realities identified by the Centers' own Actuary. The real issue here is the hasty, careless way with which lawmakers threw together this legislation. For example, it couldn't have been intentional that some Obamacare deadlines are legally impossible to meet.  A new advisory committee was required by the law to submit a progress report on the development of methodology for designating underserved populations and health professional shortage areas by April 1. But HHS was also supposed to allow 30 days for public comment regarding the members appointed to the committee, before which the committee could not exist. Plain and simple, Obamacare is a mess, as its implementation conundrums prove. Repeal is the solution. And when Congress next attempts to reform the health care system, they must take the time to get it right.

Fwd: Morning Bell: Obama's Leadership Vacuum

06/23/2010 Obama's Leadership Vacuum More than two years ago, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton launched a campaign ad that took direct aim at Senator Barack Obama's inexperience. It painted the picture of a telephone ringing in the White House at 3 a.m. and asked the question, when there is a crisis in the world and your children are safe and asleep, "Who do you want answering the phone?" Now, two years later, there are several crises confronting America, that telephone is ringing, and President Obama isn't quite sure what to do about it. The first crisis is the War in Afghanistan, a lynchpin in the War on Terror and a key to ensuring U.S. security. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, U.S. commander in Afghanistan, reportedly tendered his resignation yesterday following a Rolling Stone article that portrayed him and senior aides on his team as dismissive of top Obama administration officials. Apart for being an embarrassing moment for both President Obama and Gen. McChrystal, the story revealed a larger problem for the president -- festering, internal dissension regarding his administration's Afghanistan strategy. As Politico reports, there are divisions among Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Vice President Biden, Gen. David Petraeus, Richard Holbrooke and others.

By Terence P. Jeffrey In caving to President Obama's bullying, BP's executives cut their own public-relations losses rather than insist that due process of law be observed as they moved forward with their stated commitment to make restitution to those injured by the oil spill. But this sets a dangerous precedent for people who value property rights. A president who has established a pattern of using executive power to unilaterally bully and intimidate corporate executives into surrendering their stockholders' property is a threat to private property rights and the rule of law. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar Gets a Kick in the Rump By Michelle Malkin For all his John Wayne rhetoric on the BP oil spill, President Obama has failed to administer a swift kick to the ample, deserving rump of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. No matter. Federal Judge Martin Feldman has now done the job the White House won't do. In a scathing ruling issued Tuesday, Feldman overturned the administration's six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling—and he singled out Salazar's central role in slanting a federal panel's scientific report to bolster politicized conclusions. In a sane world, Salazar's head would roll. Press Secretary 101 By Rich Galen If I were Gen. Stanley McChrystal's boss, he not only wouldn't have to offer his resignation (I would have fired him), he would have had to pay his own cab fare home from Kabul. I would also fire every member of his staff -- civilian and military -- who could have, but did not, intervene in the decision for McChrystal to do an in-depth interview with a free-lance reporter who was writing for Rolling Stone magazine. So Much for 'Core Conservative Values' By L. Brent Bozell III We're entering the summer vacation season, and conservatives continue feeling confident that an electoral wave is going to wash over the opposition come November. But success in the fall is not guaranteed, and even if the midterm election ends in a GOP takeover of the House, as many predict, questions remain. Will Republicans embrace real conservatism and put some real restraints on Obama's lust for power? Will conservatives be able to make a mark on the country, or will they return to their fecklessness during the Bush years? One disturbing tendency of the old regime is coming back: fiscal conservatives are already selling out social conservatives in an attempt to build winning coalitions without them. How many times must the GOP learn this is
