Well, considering Obama made DoD Sec. Gates and Joint Chief of Staff Admiral Mullen swear loyalty to HIM in the White House last year... why would anyone think this man has any respect for our constitution?
Senator Nelson is the reason there is a Tea Party today....Americans are fed up with the dumb, politically correct politician sent to Washington, D.C......Ben Nelson, Senator, and all his colleagues should know and understand the United States Constitution inside and out. Obama has trashed and abused the US Constitution even when he was Senator Obama.....he is a Marxist...Nelson is just clueless.
A lot of them know he’s not an American citizen too.
He doesn’t know? That’s a fine answer, one tantamount to non-denial. He’s left himself quite vulnerable having parsed himself into a legalistic, moralistic corner like that. I would think it would up to BP to fight the administration in court if the President’s diktats have indeed exceeded his authority.
Simply illustrates the sheer idiocy we have today in the Congress and White House......and to think, these idiots severely lambasted the Bush administration for its lack of ability to follow the US Constitution.....=.=
How much did Reid promise Nelson this time?
It’s called confiscation. Authoritarian regimes do it all the time. Things will get worse before they get better.
Meanwhile, the corrupt and dishonest Democratic news media covers for everything this bunch does.
Let me help you out here, Senator:
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Of course there is no constitutional authority. Notice how the “justice” dept threatened BP with going to jail over this thing just before the One demanded their money. That’s extortion.
In a word; Duh!
Is this just now occurring to an elected Congressman? Do you realize how sad it is that this has not entered his mind before now? Is it possible there are other elected representatives who have not yet experienced the epiphany Congressman Nelson is experiencing?
Perhaps Representative Nelson should share his revelation with other uninformed representative.
?????????? Doesn’t know if President Obama’s actions are Constitutional?Is it a requirement to get a brainectomy when you become a member of Congress?
