New Orleans has quite a few "ministers" that need their tax exempt status pulled. It won't happen though.
Constitutionally, one may not recall a member of the House or the Senate, regardless of the state law on point. The Constitution is the sole source of the terms, qualifications and mechanisms for removal for these officials.
This is a publicity stunt.
is anyone really surprised by this? I only hope that the signatures are verified properly (yeah right when pigs fly).
The constituents of LA district 2 are bottom of the barrel, or cream of the cesspool, either way, they are scum.
so... they want to recall him for voting against “The One”?? is that an impeachable offense yet?
I can only imagine what sort of “jobs” that are in the Porkulus plan for the types represented by those “ministers”.
Next hurricane, New Orleans, just swim and let those of us capable of doing real work alone.
The stimulus bill became law, despite Cao’s vote against it. So he has the perfect counter argument: “Give the stimulus bill time to fail, before deciding I’ve done anything worthy of being recalled from office. So far, it would appear the markets agree with my position.”
I don’t think you can recall a Federal office holder. I know for sure you cannot recall a Senator. I think the best you can do is a referendum aka a no confidence vote and then convince the body - Senate or House - to expel the member with that vote as the justification. I doubt the Congresscritters would go for that, though, because the precedent would also apply to them and you can bet your bottom dollar that FR would have the necessary petitions up in a heartbeat for a whole bunch of those jackals.
sounds like the integration of church and state
wonder what these doofuses would do if catholics demanded recall of every politician who voted to fund abortion with tax money
The residents of NO have plenty of time to do such a protest and recall effort ... it’s not like they are actually contributing to society.
“wrong demographic”= black.
I can’t wait to hear what they have to say when they get wind of Jindal toying with the idea of turning down the $$$
He may not be a one term congressman. There is a district next to him that is represented by a ‘rat. He might move next door and run against him. Of course it would be an uphill race. But, he definitely cannot be reelected from this district.
Setting aside how ridiculous this effort is on substance,
I thought congresscritters were not subject to recall. They can be expelled by the House itself, or possibly impeached-then-convicted (although the impeach-ability of a congresscritter remains an unsettled question).
Bunch of racists.
What do they have against the Vietnamese, anyway?
I live in Cao’s district. People are very against the pork bill. Even the liberals. Probably it’s just the minority community upset. We have a community forum. The recount rules are too hard. They are just doing this for attention.
“The group is upset over Cao’s two votes”
Upset because of recent votes not in favor of his constiutency?
If this suit works, we’ve got Specter lined up next in the chute.
It is time the right starts playing hardball, like the left has been for a couple decades. Go for the jugular. Go after Acorn, churches involved in politics, destroy reputations, etc. It is the Washington way...but only being played by one side.
An organization by a different race would be classified as a secret society that wears sheets.
Cao has hot wife.
