It’s time to DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic. It’s easy to…

Written by a college professor and one of his students, there you go communist mentor and his useful idiot
The Lame Duck Congress is over. They achieved what the wanted already - the killing of the US Economy. Senate is going home for Christmas and so has the H of R. Wait till next year when the killing season begins anew as the New World Order is being put in place right before our very eyes. There probably will never be an election again as America will sink into an abyss of unfunded mess. Be prepared 2015 will be a bumpy ride in preparation for 2016 road to eventually demise of the American Republic. 240 years and the American experience will be over.
Certain exceptions must be made for emergency scenarios, but those scenarios must be explicitly spelled out. War, and little else – perhaps a waiver should a supermajority of both houses of Congress and the president deem something urgent enough.IMHO these proposals are long overdue. Lame ducks are directly antidemocratic.I recognize that there are things like pardoning unpopular people who actually have been wronged that a lame-duck president might sometimes do, for example. But basically, the proposal to eliminate the lame duck session or executive action is best addressed by moving inauguration day to December 1 or earlier.
Of course, we are talking implicitly about cases where there is a change of party control. That is where lame ducks have most motive to abuse - but at the same time, if there is no change of party control, and the inauguration does follow immediately after the election - why, what is the imposition on the new people having to live with old infrasturcture, compared with the top-level shutdown implied in a two-month interregnum in which newly elected officeholders are not yet installed - and de-elected officers are the only ones with any authority?
There’s not much I like in the British parliamentary system, but . . . when a prime ministers’ party loses, the PM has 24 hours to vacate 10 Downing Street. One day and power is transferred. The will of the people reflected in one rotation of the Earth.The author needs to develop this thought - why does he claim that it “isn’t possible here”? Not possible in a day, certainly - we have the example of FL 2000 still fairly fresh in our minds - but that could be addressed by assigning deadlines to recounts, and let the chips fall as they may. A month after election day should be plenty.Such a quick turnaround isn’t possible or advisable here; there are virtues to a transition period.
And, while we’re at it, shouldn’t there be at least some accountability of the incumbent administration to the new senate, when the incumbent president is reelected? What would Eric Holder have gone through, if, counterfactually, he had faced a Republican Senate majority for reconfirmation after the 2012 election?
This is just one other thing to put in the hopper for Mark Levin’s proposed constitutional convention.
Another would be term limits for SCOTUS justices, and another would be regularizing the Senate’s filibuster rules so that they aren’t changed at the convenience of the Majority Leader.
Dang .. saw the headline, thought ‘literally’.
So much for an early Sunday’s ray of sunshine . . .

The $1.1 TRILLION continuing resolution omnibus funding bill has passed in the Senate, and it probably won’t be vetoed by the dog-eater in the Oval Office.

Who else would love to see a public personal vetting of every college/university professor teaching vulnerable young people in this country. It seems to me they are involved in political activities largely unknown to the parents who pay the bills for an education which may be nothing but leftist brain washing. The time is past when a parent or a young person can go into any classroom and automatically expect to come out with a real education. What is it the Christian Bible says about the situation we find ourselves in today?..It is something like when a nation is run by youth and women, the people come to mourning. Think Diane Feinstein and those who are marching in our streets against law enforcement. Enough said.
“...written by a college professor and one of his students...”
Say, rather, “...written by a Progressive and one of his minions to help subvert the voting process, nullify the Constitution and preserve Progressive power.”
IMHO
In a religious and moral society politicians acted honorably and could be trusted to obey not only laws and rules as written but also be sensitive the intent of the governed. We do not live in that kind of society any longer.
it’s a great idea
Congress should end all work for the year, during any national election year, 30 days before the election, and should not come back into session until it is time to seat the new Congress.
