Boehner Can’t Tell Murder from Suicide
John Boehner whined to the Ripon Society, a GOP think tank, today:
“So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of the Administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party. And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal — to just shove us into the dustbin of history.”

SCOTUS Rules on Murders Committed by Juveniles
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 (and you know who voted how) that a mandatory sentence of life without parole for those who commit murder when under 18 is cruel and unusual punishment and therefore unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment. Back in 2005, the Court ruled against the death penalty for minors who commit murder.
Today’s cases were Miller v. Alabama and Jackson v. Hobbs, both involving plaintiffs who were 14 at the time they committed murder.
Really?
Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s two sons are being charged with — wait for it — insider trading!
