Tuesday Short Cuts

Insight: “One’s first step in wisdom is to question everything — and one’s last is to come to terms with everything.” —German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799)

Upright: “Congress does two things well: nothing and overreact. Well, I have some good news: Doing nothing when it comes to the Ex-Im Bank is exactly what we need right now. That’s because the charter for the Export-Import Bank, which provides taxpayer-backed loans to foreign countries and companies to pay for U.S. products, is set to expire June 30. To get rid of this poster child for crony capitalism, lawmakers don’t have to lift a finger. Imagine: For a change, we’d have good reason to applaud a ‘do-nothing’ Congress.” —Ed Feulner

Non Compos Mentis: “[King v. Burwell] should be an easy case. Frankly, it shouldn’t have even been taken up [by SCOTUS]. … There is no reason why the existing exchanges should be overturned through a court case. … I think it’s important for us to go ahead and assume that the Supreme Court is going to do what most legal scholars who’ve looked at this would expect them to do. … Part of what’s bizarre about this whole thing is, we haven’t had a lot of conversation about the horrors of ObamaCare because none of them have come to pass.” —Barack Obama, politically attacking the Supreme Court yet again, this time for ObamaCare subsidies as outlined by the law itself

Ya think? “We don’t yet have a complete strategy.” —Barack Obama on decimating the Islamic State

Village Idiots: “A new Pew Research Center report states that 52 percent of Americans support gun rights, the highest percentage in the last two decades. Yet the gun rights that they believe are guaranteed by law may very well be an illusion. That’s because we have allowed lawyers instead of language professionals to interpret the Constitution of the United States.” —Chicago Tribune contributor and College of DuPage professor David McGrath

Late-night humor: “The TSA is under fire for major security lapses. Because of the security lapses, the TSA has let through pipe bombs, knives, and the last three Nicolas Cage movies.” —Conan O'Brien
