| While several legal scholars have suggested it specious, a prominent constitutional law professor on Tuesday defended the lawsuit backed by Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox challenging the legality of recently-signed health care reform legislation. Cox last month joined more than a dozen other state attorneys general on a lawsuit filed in Florida that contends the federal government does not have the right to require health coverage and is violating the U.S. Constitution by forcing individual mandates in states without providing the resources to pay for it. These claims are highly plausible. Whether they are ultimately successful at the Supreme Court... |

| Republicans across New York are practically salivating at the prospect of turning New York red at the Governors mansion, United States Senate, and at tons of state and local races from Broome to Queens County. Its the kind of excitement that should raise the brow of New Yorks Senator Chuck Schumer, former Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, but the GOP need not worry, hes one of those politicians so self absorbed that if he was playing right field he wouldnt see a pop-up until it hit him in the face! Schumer is also plenty busy trying to secure... |

| Surfing around today, gleaning more reaction to Sen. Blanche Lincoln's remark that those showing up to protest the government takeover of their health care are somehow "un-American". While surfing, I came across the website of Tom Cox, one of the many Republican candidates thinking about running against Sen. Lincoln in 2010, to read his release on her gaffe. Once there, I noticed his new campaign logo on his much-improved website - which looks very familiar: |

| One of Georgias top elected officials is feeling the pain of the housing industry slump in a very personal way. State Schools Superintendant Kathy Cox and her husband, a homebuilder, last week filed for personal bankruptcy, citing more $3.5 million in liabilities and less than $650,000 in assets, according to court documents. Most of the debt relates to John Coxs business, Pebble Hill Homes, which he started in Fayetteville in 2001, the filing indicates. Kathy Cox, who makes about $125,000 a year, has no role in the business but is a co-signer on loans for it, a spokesman said. As... |

| "It was sad to see Merrill go down as well," said the voice from inside Lehman Brothers this week as he pondered his own future. "But at least they screwed the shorts. That was good to see."[snip] Yesterday, SEC Commissioner Cox responded to the pressure. The SEC instituted a "Hard T+3 Close-Out Requirement," meaning that short sellers and their broker-dealers must deliver securities by the close of business on the settlement, three days after the sale. It's an answer to previous complaints about the prevalence of so-called "naked" short selling: that is, selling shares that you don't actually have in... |

| AT A RALLY in Iowa on Thursday, John McCain said that Chris Cox, chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), should be fired. "Mismanagement and greed became the operating standard while regulators were asleep at the switch," McCain said. "The Chairman of the SEC serves at the appointment of the President and has betrayed the public's trust. If I were President today, I would fire him." Within hours, McCain's statement came under fire. His critics focused less on his assignment of blame than on his proposed remedy: as ABC's Jake Tapper put it, "the president does not have the power... |

| CEDAR RAPIDS, IA - John McCain is fed up and not going to take it any more. At a Hawkeye State rally Thursday, he took his rhetoric up a notch and called for the firing of Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Chris Cox.
