Does Boehner have the guts to make a public announcement he won't televise the 'State of the Union' unless the President rescinds the illegal recess appointments? Does he even care about the Constitution?
Nah. It’s a gimmick.
turn off the cameras? How about impeaching the bastard
State of the Union 2011: Lawmakers Cross Aisle, Sit Together, Make History
No.
He should bring up impeachment papers for this and many Many MANY other impeachable offenses.
He should not allow any cameras on for ANY entrance of the pResident, SOU or otherwise.
That is, he should not single out the SOU.
He should NOT single out yesterdays leap towards Dicktatership (SIC!) as being any outrageous than all the othgers... they are all linked as a cascade of escalating events to usurp our society.
No golfing with the President that’ll show him!
What have you been drinking for breakfast?
Historically, it was submitted as a written report and read on the floor. Washington addressed Congress. Jefferson submitted written reports, as did those that followed him for 112 years. Wilson brought back the joint session speech and Truman was the first to be televised.
It would be great if they did not extend the ivitiation to the Capitol building and just asked for the text. Won't happen, though.
Come on he’ll wet his pants if you mention it!
Nah, the only thing that would get obamas attention would be to cut off the food and booze at the White House.....if “mama” aint happy, nobody is happy.
The only thing that gets Boehner mad is when he is bumped from his regular appointment at the tanning salon.
The entire republican members should boycott the SOU.
Doesn’t the House have to invite him?
Simply enough, dont invite him, have him send it over in written form and have a clerk read it.
No, but the Republican response should mention it. Turning off the cameras would look like an infantile tantrum.
That works for me too ;)
But making an announcement would draw light to the issue, and the mainstream might actually carry the issue for a few days ...
At a minimum, one would think that the words ‘Constitutional Crisis’ would be flowing off the lips of the Congress critters.
First—the SOU does not Contitutionally have to be a speech made in person.
So—never invite the SOB for a speech.
Not likely.
Impeachmet is in order, but that would take Balls—since Sarah is nowhere to be seen, that’s out too.
What’s a conservative to do?
Will somebody PLEASE wake up Bone-er??
I agree, as far as I'm concerned obama is illegitimate to begin with.
We have no one in any position of power who will take a stand. They are not scared of obama, they are scared of the media, the race card, being called mean. 99 % of this congress consist of kids who spent most of their life having sand kicked in their face and after going to law school and scheming to get power they haven't got the intestinal fortitude to risk losing power for the good of the country.
The creature comforts and perks of "being" in congress far out way the sacrifices required to really be a congressman.
Unfortunately they are a reflection of America on whole, you get the government, you deserve, really fits here.
