Hehehehe, Rush went right after McCain. Saying all the criticism over the years that he got was justified.

[GOPJ]

Russia Russia Russia is a BIG CRIME BECAUSE the Russians TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT PODESTA AND THE DEMOCRAT SCAM AGAINST SANDERS.

THE ONLY THING OR CONGRESSMEN CARE ABOUT IS THEIR OWN PROTECTION... AND ‘TELLING’ ON THE POLITICAL CLASS IS WORTHY OF WAR.

This is nothing more than politicians protecting their own butts.

They don’t give as damn about our borders... or trade agreements that screw over citizens but they damn sure care when someone TELLS ON THEM.

[Yosemitest]

Rush, the voters are going to HAVE TO RECALL one of these backstabbing Senators, and Lisa Murkowski R-Alaska CAN BE RECALLED !

"All elected public officials in the State, except judicial officers, are subject to recall..." (AK Con. Art. 11, §8) .

And so can McCAIN be RECALLED !
McCain is a Senator representing Arizona, and

"Every public officer in the state of Arizona, holding an elective office, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall..." (AZ Con. Art. 8, §1-6)

These Are the Times That Try Men’s Souls America — Then and Now in the Words of Tom Paine, by John Armor

John Charles Armor was a prolific contributor to national publications, radio, television, and online forums, most notably FreeRepublic.com.
John Charles Armor was a member of the Maryland Bar Association, a former adjunct professor of political science, and practiced in the United States Supreme Court for thirty-three years.
He had 35 years experience working with and for thousands of state legislators from across the country, as well as serving on the staff of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the US Constitution in the mid 80s.
John was an experience at every level of government in the United States – local, state and federal – as well as all three branches of the federal government – Executive, Judicial and Legislative.
He had also testified as an expert witness on Constitutional matters before committees of 24 state legislatures.
An expert on the Constitution, John has written several books, including ‘Why Terms Limits?,’ as well as over 650 articles.

John Charles Armor wrote article on April 1, 2010, in the American Thinker "Is a State-Based Recall of a U.S. Senator Constitutional ?" .

Whether citizens of a state have the right to recall from office a sitting U.S. senator is no longer an academic question.
The second-highest New Jersey appeals court has just ruled that such an effort can proceed against Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ).

Several other states have provisions in their state constitutions and laws that may also allow recall efforts.
And by the common provision of initiative by the people of state laws and constitutions, similar processes could be established in other states.

So the question that has never been raised in the U.S. Supreme Court before will most likely be decided there within the next year.

This column is not a legal brief -- just a summary of main points.
With that said, this lawyer, whose eighteen briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court have been mostly on election law, believes that the answer is yes -- recall is constitutional.

Back to the basics.
Recall was available for the voters of a colony to remove an official with whom they had become dissatisfied.
It first appeared in New England in 1639.
The idea of the voters removing an official and/or changing the underlying laws is older than that.
In 1610, the free citizens from the Mayflower signed a Compact that they would
"enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient. ..."

This was the first statement on American shores of the concept of popular sovereignty -- that the people hold the ultimate power.
The best-known such statement appears in the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson's words, adopted by Congress on 2 July 1776 (not a misprint), state:

That to secure these [God-given] rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Many people argue that the case of U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton governs, and it prevents any state from using recall against federal officeholders, just as it prevents states from establishing term limits for Members of Congress.
This is a misreading of what Thornton did, and did not, do.

Thornton decided that
states could not establish a "new and additional qualification" for anyone to run for the Senate or the House.
Now, recall does no such thing.
It merely says that in those states that provide for recall, members of Congress can be voted out of office, as they were formerly voted into office.
In those states, this is part of the election process.

Who gets to decide how elections are conducted?
Due to an inability to agree at the Philadelphia Convention, there was a compromise.
The voters in each state were to be the same as for
"the most numerous branch of the state legislature"
in each state.
Citizens with property, without property, both black and white -- and in New Jersey, women as well -- voted in the first American election in 1789.

This constitutionally mandated variety in state election laws is why today, the Supreme Court has ruled constitutional that some states require photo IDs in order to vote.
It also explains why some states bar convicted felons from voting, with differing requirements to end that prohibition.

It is also why, in various states, a candidate must face the voters between one and three times to be elected to the Senate
(it depends on how primaries are conducted, and whether run-offs are required).
Accepting recall as part of any state's election laws would add the possibility of one more election, on rare occasions, which the candidates would know about before filing to run.

Another reason why the Thornton case does not dictate the result in this case is that the Tenth Amendment applies here, but did not apply there.
Since Congress did not exist until the Constitution was written, there could not have been any "pre-existing right" to be preserved in the states.
The right of recall was alive and well in states before the Constitution was written.

When the 17th Amendment was ratified and went into effect to make senators elected by the people rather than appointed by the state legislatures, it provided additional reasons to uphold recall where provided.
This Amendment repeated, word for word, the language of the basic Constitution that the state voters would be those for "the most numerous branch of the state legislature."
It left to the states the definition of who could vote and how the elections would be conducted.

The other reason to believe that state-based recall is permitted is in the last clause of the 17th Amendment, which protected the terms and selections of all sitting senators at the time it was ratified.
The sitting senators recognized that a version of the Amendment by a Constitutional Convention
(about to become mandatory)
could have put them all out on the street immediately, to be replaced by elected senators.

Finally, most of the states whose laws and constitutions allow recall of elected officials exclude recall of judicial officials.
That is because many of the states that have elections involving judges separately provide for "recall" of judges through a "retention" election.
But this has the same effect that the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence sought.

Retention elections occur at required intervals, usually ten years.
The name of the judge is automatically placed on the ballot with the question, "Shall Judge Smith be retained in office?"
If a majority of the voters vote in favor, Judge Smith is retained in office.
But if a majority is dissatisfied and vote no, then the judge is immediately removed.

Recall of elected officials is a powerful remedy that is seldom used.
This does not diminish its importance in those rare instances when the voters heartily disapprove of the conduct of an elected official after he or she has taken office and has a track record.
Impeachment of presidents is a dire remedy that also has rarely been used.
That is no argument that it should not exist.

The final reason why Thornton supports, rather than denies, the validity of recall for senators is the underlying reason for the Thornton decision.
As the Court made clear, state-based term limits would inhibit the free exercise of the franchise by the citizens of Arkansas.
In the case of New Jersey, or any other state with a similar provision on its books, the right of recall would advance, not inhibit, the exercise of the franchise in those states.

So the one case that many will claim is a barrier to state-based recall of U.S. senators is, instead, a strong support for recall.
One learns the meaning and power of any other Supreme Court decision by digging down to the basics, to discover why the Court ruled as it did.
In Thornton, the Court protected the right of the sovereign people to choose their own representatives.
That is also the basis of the right of recall, and it has been so for more than three centuries.

Dean Heller, R-Nev.; John McCain, R-Ariz.; and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, CAN BE RECALLED !

We do NOT have to tolerate their backstabbing !

The States that allow a RECALL:

Nineteen states plus the District of Columbia permit the recall of state officials:

Recall of State Officials
Alaska	Illinois	New Jersey
Arizona	Kansas	North Dakota
California	Louisiana	Oregon
Colorado	Michigan	Rhode Island
District of Columbia	Minnesota	Washington
Georgia	Montana	Wisconsin
Idaho	Nevada

Source: National Conference of State Legislatures

Virginia has a process that is similar to a recall, but it is not listed here as a recall state because its process, while requiring citizen petitions, calls for a recall trial rather than an election. In Virginia, after sufficient petition signatures are gathered and verified, a circuit court decides whether a Virginia official will be removed from office. In the recall states, the voters decide through an election.

[Yosemitest]

Rush, IT IS A CHOICE !

And it is "THE SPIRT" and NOT "the soul" Ecclesiastes 12, verse 7 !
The "soul" is nothing but the breath of life.

Homosexuals aren't "born that way".
They had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph.

" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfaction—
and the homosexualist knows it,
for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE
—to the declared and impenitent homosexual,
the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,
has identified his person with a sin,
whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SIN
through "love,"
or VINDICATION
THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS.
Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,
what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCE
not of the person,
but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person.
HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY that
THERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,
and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven.
This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,
WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,
and whose indelible constitution
places ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect man
AT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "

Lets start with Romans 1:16-32.

For I am NOT ASHAMED of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek.
For THEREIN IS the righteousness of God
revealed FROM faith
TO faith:
as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.

You might want to take a look at Habakkuk 2:1-9, and especially verse 4.
Don't miss the importance of this because the rest of this information FROM GOD, is built on the understanding of this part in Romans 1:16-17.
Now, on to the next great information.

For the WRATH of God is revealed FROM heaven
AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN,
who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;
Because THAT WHICH MAY BE KNOWN of God
IS MANIFEST IN THEM;
for God HATH SHEWED IT UNTO THEM.

That last part is very important.
How many times must God warn them?
You might want to take a read of Luke 8:1-21 to understand why some people just will NOT listen and OBEY.
But on to the next part.

For THE INVISIBLE THINGS of him
from the creation of the world
ARE CLEARLY SEEN,
being understood BY the things THAT ARE MADE,
even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE:
Because that,
WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,
THEY glorified him NOT AS GOD,
NEITHER were thankful;
but BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS,
and THEIR FOOLISH HEART was DARKENED .

There is so much to cover hear, but the order which God has stated it in the Bible must not be ignored.
Think of microscopic when you read " the invisible things", but that's not the ONLY interpretation to be considered.
But it should help you to grasp the meaning"are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made".
"Became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" is a very good insight on HOW this ABOMINATION starts.
But don't forget the verses before that, because they have been pointing out HOW the "homosexuals" got to this point in their destruction.
Now we start a more rapid destruction of their mind and heart with the next verses.

PROFESSING THEMSELVES TO BE wise,
THEY BECAME FOOLS ,
And CHANGED THE GLORY OF THE UNCORRUPTIBLE GOD
INTO AN IMAGE
MADE LIKE TO CORRUPTIBLE MAN,
and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God ALSO GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS,
TO DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES between themselves:
Who CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD INTO A LIE,
and WORSHIPPED
and SERVED the creature MORE THAN THE CREATOR ,
who is blessed for ever.
Amen.

Now it's becoming clear that there are MANY steps down the path to destruction, that these individuals have taken.
Some more insight can be found in Genesis 19 about just how evil and destructive homosexuals really are.
So, we continue with verses 26 and 27 of Romans 1.

FOR THIS CAUSE
GOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTION:
for even THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE the NATURAL USE
into that WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE:
And likewise ALSO THE MEN,
LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMEN,
BURNED IN THEIR LUST one toward another;
men with men WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY,
and RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENCE OF THEIR ERROR
which was meet.

Now you can see that God "gave them up", or in other words, He quit trying to convince them, that His WAYS were life-giving,
and allowed them to go their own way.
Their error would be a very strong lesson to all who will see, that it does lead to death.
Read again about meat and milk as far as spiritual knowledge goes.
Now God has laid this information out for us in a certain order for a reason, and that reason is the choice between Life or Death.
Lets finish this.

And even as THEY DID NOT LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE ,
GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND,
TO DO THOSE THINGSs which are NOT convenient;
BEING FILLED with ALL unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
FULL of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD,
that THEY WICH COMMIT SUCH THINGS
ARE WORTHY OF DEATH,
NOT ONLY DO THE SAME,
BUT HAVE PLEASURE
IN THEM THAT DO THEM .

Homosexual perversion is NOT a NATURAL punitive response to something else.
It's a GOD GIVEN PUNISHMENT

(a MARK in their head {or mind}, in their hand {or actions}, and in their heart {or what they love} ),

and it IS a Satanic DELUSION for the homosexual to THINK that God had nothing to do with it.

Have you not read the Book of Job ?
It will help you to understand
that Satan
has to have PERMISSION from our Heavenly Father
to do damage.

So in closing, we've covered THE CAUSE that God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND.

There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !

Rush starts the 30th year of his national show today. It started Monday August 1st 1988, but we did not hear it in NYC area. On July 4 we had his local show .

[Gene Eric]

Heard Rush mention that Trump can terminate the special health insurance privileges Congress and its staff enjoys at our expense. We’re picking up 75% of the bill.
