Most of us agree with you 100%. Others, including many FReepers say it doesn't matter, move on, it's just a distraction.
To me, the rule of law is not a "distraction." If this whole mess causes a "constitutional crisis," then so be it. Hopefully we'll get it straightened out and get our Republic back to basics.
I agree. It does matter.
We cannot pick and choose which parts of the Constitution matter and which parts do not. If we allow this to happen (and the republican controlled Congress is doing just that) who’s to say the pResident will not push the envelope and sign an EO banning all handguns? I mean, why is that more important than anything else in the Constitution?
A very slippery slop and I fear we are already at a velocity that’s too high to save us from going all the way down.
John Boehner needs to go. Sadly, Obama has been allowed to do more damage under this House than he did under Pelosi. And that’s very telling. There’s such a pile on Boehner’s desk now that it would take decades to go through it.
“Repeal Speaker John Boehner” needs to be a required campaign promise from any conservative running for Congress in 2012. Otherwise, nothing will get done. We gain nothing.
