Barak Obama is a genius, that's for sure. Have you ever seen a sitting President dis the Supreme Court like that? Did he ever take a psych 101 class? If he didn't like their last ruling, wait 'till he sees the next few.
You see, those folks in the black robes are sitting in the front row for a reason. They are a co-equal branch of the federal government. Barry doesn't understand that concept because he figures nobody is his equal. Well, surprise Mr President! The SCOTUS figures nobody is their equal either. And with lifetime appointments, maybe they have a point.
Yesterday the Watchman shared with you a first person account of a missionary friend who was in Port-au-Prince on the day of the earthquake and who went back to help with search and rescue the next day. Tonight we share a post from his wife Leslie Rollings. She reports that large numbers of people are fleeing from Port-au-Prince, no doubt in search of water, food, and shelter. Today she and some co-workers took what aid supplies they could into Port-au-Prince. This is their story.
Chris Rollings is a missionary friend of the Watchman who serves with Clean Water for Haiti. He was in Port-au-Prince when the earthquake hit. Thankfully he was outside at the time and was not injured.

I am a citizen of the greatest country that has ever been or is ever likely to be -- short of the millenial kingdom. The individual liberty this country has always stood for is eroding. In some cases it is under outright attack. It's this watchman's job to sound the alarm, to do what he can to preserve, protect, and defend that liberty. --Wayne Cummings
