Florida Moves to Recall Marco Rubio
The D.C. Clothesline ^ | 06/28/2013 | Tim Brown

Earlier in the week, we told you how Arizona has had it with Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake over their persistent push of the Senate’s amnesty bill and began petitions to recall them.

Well it looks like the people of Florida have had their fill of Senator Marco Rubio. A petition has been set up to recall the Florida Senator following his vote on Monday concerning the Senate’s amnesty bill.

The recall of members of the U.S. Congress has never been permissible according to the Constitution, and no member of the Congress has ever been removed by such means. That’s because the U.S. Constitution sets the qualifications and terms for being a member of the House or Senate; changing those qualifications or terms (as in making them subject to a recall) is unconstitutional and would require a constitutional amendment.

The Constitution contains an expulsion clause for members of Congress, though it has widely been neglected since the Civil War cases of disloyalty. The most effective means of removal is still election: if a member of Congress does not do their work well, then don’t return them to office.

If you really are unaware that bloggers excerpting their
own material and driving traffic off-site then you are
actually too stupid for me to bother with.

>>and driving traffic off-site then you are<<

ROFL!! Driving traffic “off-site”? And I’m too stupid? It’s called “right click and open in separate window or new tab”. No going “off site” needed. And you call me stupid? ROFL

You insulted and ridiculed so many people here its become your daily routine. Same old insults to anyone that has a link you don’t approve.

I for “one” spend less and less time reading here since you anointed yourself supreme blog police. It’s been getting old for years now and you and your better than thou attitude disgust me and everyone you insulted with your lame snarky insults.

You spend days and nights searching here to pounce on a blog link and never adding to real conservative conversations.

Is a recall of a US senator even possible?

We need to recall Rubio, McCain, Graham, Flake and Ayotte for starters. That's my opinion...

Recall..! My first choice would be hang the whole bunch..!!

Do you understand how components of a web page work? Like: Measured traffic to, and time spent on a site affect the amount of ad sense revenue from Google or other in-line ad sources pay. There is a motivation for blog owners to drive traffic to the sites - it makes them appear to be more relevant than they are, and it shows up as a backlink (another measure of credibility for search engine results).

To be just, excerpted crap should be deleted so the link no longer appears on FR pages. If an author wishes to have a community read their original materials, then submit it in entirety for reading. If anyone likes what they see, they will visit the site for more. If they really like it, they'll bookmark it.

Same lame unfunny comments from you again.

You are proud you drive people away from the forum and that’s a shame.

You are a brainless zombie I agree with a touch of Joe Biden.

If stupidity was water you would drown.

I love you too, sweetie.

But you still can’t name even that one person “driven” away.

Hey, if fantasies sustain you and help you cope with the mean
old world, then more power to you. I hope you are well sustained.

Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling.. hell, even Twilight and who knows what else...
You just be happy being you in whatever world that you prefer.

Facts up here in the real world, though, indicate that blogpimps are just here to get free advertising.

But don’t You worry.. HEY! Was that your Unicorn that just ran by spewing Skittles from his bum?

Hey? Where you going?
