BBC News - Mexico challenges Arizona's immigration law
I find this development troubling. We have Mexico interfering in domestic issues of national importance. I conclude that we MUST let this law stand if for no other reason than Mexico's interference in our affairs.

Constitutional Quiz
| It might be very appropriate to ask anyone filing for a position as a US Senator or a US Representative to take a short quiz on the constitution and to have the results posted on the internet. We need to know that our representative have some knowledge of the US Constitution. |
Term Limits for Congress
| Our only prayer for better representation of the people is to limit the terms that anyone can serve in the United State Congress. Twelve years seems long enough. Two terms for a US Senator and six terms for a US Representative. |

Long-Term Trading Strategy for Oil
Many investors are worried that the euro zone debt crisis could cause economic slowdowns even in countries outside the region. However, I remain long-term bullish on the prospects for crude oil, as emerging countries continue to experience growth and we are still many years away from a viable energy alternative. If you agree, you might consider a long-term options strategy that will allow you to weather some short-term price fluctuations in crude oil.

Moody's Investors Service slashed Greece's government-bond ratings by four notches to "junk" territory, saying there was "considerable" uncertainty surrounding the timing and impact of support measures on the country's economic growth.

Obamacare
NYT admits Obamacare = redistribution of wealth
In a stunning admission, The New York Times admits what Glenn has been saying all along: this healthcare bill is not about health or care - it's about the redistribution of wealth. Remember, this is the President who feels one of the 'tragedies' of the Warren court was that there was not enough 'redistributive change' that came out of it. The President and his supporters will scold anyone who dares call him a socialist - so what will they say about this NYT article titled “In health bill, Obama attacks wealth inequality.”
Glenn breaks down the article in this week’s Beck Talks video blog.
