My money is always on Levin.
Levin.
Hey Kevin
No comparison....The GREAT One trumps O’Reilly every time!
And my money is on Levin.
Levin is a Constitutional Lawyer, and the Leprechaun is?
Tough call/s
Normally, my money would be on Levin, but O'Reilly is a subject matter expert on being an embarrassment.
Well, O’Reilly is wrong: the House can send the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest a person held in contempt, and direct that he be imprisoned until he complies with the investigatory demand, or until the session of Congress ends.
Mark usually knows what hes talking about...
Perhaps the state of Arizona should put out an arrest warrant on Holder for the charge of accessory to murder of Brian Terry.
That would be interesting.
Good money is on Levin....not the leprechaun.
O’Reilly is wrong very often. Levin always strikes me as very sharp.
Not much to choose between there.
Levin!
Not the world’s biggest Levin fan but he’s usually right on judicial issues and O’Reilly doesn’t know squat about anything.
After a contempt vote by House, Holder will be pretty much ineffective in his job.
There are several factors courts look to. The most important is whether the president was involved, since that determines which privilege (presidential communications versus deliberative process) is in play. Beyond that, several factors weigh in favor of Congress and against Holder here. This was domestic policy (not foreign), in an operation out of an agency (not the White House), where crimes may have been committed, and none of the president’s constitutional prerogatives are implicated by the case. Factors favoring Obama are that this is not legislative policymaking, and it does have a diplomatic angle because of relations with Mexico. But surveying 200 years of court precedent shows that Congress has the better claim here.Big Hollywood: Holder Will Lose Executive Privilege Fight
The only way to beat an executive privilege claim is by court order. To take this issue to court, the full House must vote to hold Holder in contempt of Congress, then—when federal prosecutors predictably inform the House that they will not prosecute their boss—the full House must pass a second resolution authorizing Rep. Darrell Issa to file suit in the U.S. District Court for D.C. on behalf of the entire U.S. House.
Holder will lose the court fight. He’ll appeal, of course, but eventually the appeals will be over, and we’ll all learn the truth of what really happened in Fast and Furious.
And whom to hold accountable.
I recently finished “Liberty and Tyranny”, and can say Levin isn’t always right. But between him and O’Reily I’d bet on Levin every time.
Is this some kind of trick question?
Levin is usually right on the constitution. Levin is not so good on the economics though. Thats when you listen to Peter Schiff for economics
Levin is correct in absolute terms of the law. However, the fact of the matter is the Congress will vote a contempt citation and go on vacation until October, Just before the election.
Over the summer the courts will be petitioned for the power of enforcement. There will be hearings back and forth. Appeals will ensue and maybe within two years it will become SCOTUS level.
Then there will be further delays and more blah, blah, blah....
If Obama loses the election this thing gets dropped quietly.
If he wins, this won’t be anywhere near settled before the next president is sworn in and we are back to it being quietly dropped.
Doesn’t matter if someone finds a door with tape on it.
Without even reading the article, I’ll put my money on Levin. O’Reilly is a big mouth idiot.
Without even reading further than the title, I say LEVIN!
Becasue there’s no way Bill Blowhard could ever, in his wildest dreams, outsmart/outclass/outmaneuver/outintellectualize The Great One!
