The Supreme Court of the United States has just ruled on a matter of great public controversy. Conservatives, and others committed to judicial restraint, are in an uproar: one of their own has betrayed them.

A sitting justice was the swing vote in a decision that radically and expansively altered the relationship between citizens and their constitutional liberties.

We had been assured by elected officials repeatedly during the soon-to-be justices Senate confirmation hearings that he was a conservative home run.

Though this weeks declaration of Mohammed Morsi as Egypts first freely-elected president is a significant milestone in the ancient Arab states history, the battle for the future of this key country isnt over.

A much anticipated ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court sucked the air out of the room this week as all eyes turned to the nation's high court, which bucked odds makers and rejected Florida's challenge to President Barack Obama's ambitious health care overhaul.

A 5-4 decision, which came the last day of its current term, ended weeks of prognostication, posturing and expectation over the sweeping decision that, for now at least, shifts the course of health care delivery in the United States.

HBO should really try a new slogan for its original programming. Indeed they already had one courtesy of Aaron Sorkin's acid pen in the debut of his ridiculous new series "The Newsroom." That slogan is "Speaking Truth to Stupid."

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, plans to end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination with an event in Tampa on the eve of the Republican National Convention in August.

While Paul will bring around 200 delegates to the convention, he is not expected to speak or to endorse former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, who is expected to be nominated in Tampa.

Paul will be speaking in Tampa on Sunday, Aug. 26, at the University of South Floridas Sun Dome in Tampa.

Mark Wilson, Florida Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, said the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that keeps mandates in place making people pay for health care coverage will harm Americas long-term global competitiveness.

But he also said the continued squabbling in Washington, D.C., over health care has caused many businesses to hold back on their plans for hiring and expansion because of the uncertainty on where health coverage is headed. And in many cases, employers are considering ending employer-based insurance plans because of the cost.

After the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling on Thursday, the fate of Obamacare is now in the hands of the American people, to be determined this November.

A prominent national pundit unveiled his look at congressional races in November and maintained that freshman U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., ranks as the most vulnerable member in the Florida delegation to lose his seat to the other party.
