By Georgeann King, on February 13th, 2012 From news reports: Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam today expressed his support of a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by the Republican Governor Public Policy Committee (RGPPC) arguing against the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amicus brief, filed by the RGPPC of which Haslam is a member, is the first ever submitted to the Supreme Court by the committee. “The Obama administration’s approach is an unaffordable healthcare mandate that is a significant overstep of the federal government’s authority,” Haslam said.
By Georgeann King, on February 9th, 2012 Gateway Pundit reports that Colonel Martha McSally, a pilot in the United States Air Force and the first American woman to fly in combat since the 1991 lifting of the prohibition of women in combat, will announce today that she is running for the Congressional District 8 race in Arizona. That is the seat held by Gabby Giffords. McSally is also the first woman to command a USAF fighter squadron, the 354th Fighter Squadron (354 FS) based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. In 2001 McSally successfully challenged the military policy that required US and UK servicewomen stationed in Saudi Arabia to wear the body-covering abaya when traveling off base in the country.
