“That defeats the intent of the constitution and should be unconstitutional.”
They don’t care.
They were going to deem it passed, remember? That didn’t go over too well at all, so they pulled something else out of their collective ... well, you know.
Funny. Had nothing to do with it. Although I know some of the things that caused Detroit and California to collapse. Was not my fault. For example in Detroit -
Got a call from my manager to work on a disk drive that was failing at the City of Detroit's mainframe computer room. Was not working in the City at the time. Was working at banks out in the suburbs. Told my manager that a fellow employee I knew was working there and should be able to fix the disk drive. They were about the size of washing machines back then. He told me that person was not trained on disk drives. Told him he he was wrong, because I was in the same corporate training class that taught him how to repair the disk drives. He told me, no, he was not trained on the disk drives. I said okay. And proceeded to travel to downtown riverfront area and fixed the disk drive.
Found out later what this guy had done to loss his training or certification. He worked on the disk drive without telling the operators. They were still using the drive. He apparently did a random write test on the disk drive. Deemed it was okay and did not tell the operators.
Well, it apparently was the disk drive that held the property tax records for all the homes in Detroit. People in Detroit got property tax bills with random amounts due that month. And the ones that got insane bills more or less stormed the city hall. Read about it a week or two later in the newspaper. Was not my fault.
Of all the hundreds of opinions I’ve read in the last 24+ hours, I think you got it right. I was a Navy mom, too - my son served in the 70s - and now I’m a Marine’s grandmother. I’m grateful for the soft life we’ve had in this country, but you know what? A soft life makes soft people. We are not the kind who lived here 250 years ago, and I don’t think we’re going to be. Maybe when I’m gone and my grandson is older ..... but I find it hard to expect that. All great empires have fallen.
So .... Thy Kingdom come.
Do you think GWB picked Roberts because he knew that Roberts would turn far left at a critical time?
Roberts, with difficulty, administered the oath of office to the president elect who told the whole world he was a naturalized citizen. Obama, this time, told the truth, but the political class had committed to the ploy, and were probably afraid to face the certain charges of racism if they honored Article II Section 1 - requiring a president to be a natural born citizen.
People have short memories, but the historical record, while assiduously scrubbed by progressive acolytes, will survive. After this generation of pundits and legislators disappears from the public sector some historian will note that Obama was our second ineligible president, after Chester Arthur. The difference between Arthur and Obama is that Arthur hid his naturalized status and his father's naturalization status - Arthurs’ father was Irish. Obamo told us all and the US Senate unanimously, including Obama, agreed in 2008, signing Resolution 511 sponsored by Clare McCAskill and Leahy, which includsd the testimony by Judge Michael Chertoff:
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy.”
This was a political ploy to enable McCain to run by agreeing not to vet Obama. Nothing signed by Obama has constitutional validity, but both parties are complicit so neither dares to openly discuss it. Without an amendment to Article II section 1, Rubio is ineligible along with Obmaa and Jindal. It would take a different amendment to make McCain eligible, one like the bill Obama and Clare McCaskill tried but failed to pass in February of 2008, the ‘‘Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act’’. Can anyone believe Obama and his campaign manager, Clare McCaskill, would sponsor a new law to make McCain eligible for no reason? SB 2678 would have needed to be turned into an amendment, but it was a worthwhile amendment. The children of military citizens not born on sovereign territory, McCain's problem, are not natural born citizens, but are naturalized citizens if born on incorporated territory. That is the law, for whatever little previous law seems to mean.
Roberts knew the law when he administered the oath to Obama. That established that Roberts was anything but an originalist. With Roberts on the court as currently constituted, there is a progressive majority. Roberts has a legal obligation to refer a felony to the appropriate authority. Obama solicited campaign contributions based upon his being eligible to become president, all the while describing himself as a naturalized citizen. Our government is established upon the ignorance of the public and the tacit agreement of both major parties to exclude the pertinent legal citations from the dialog.
Right, as you say “we only deserve it if we do nothing”.So let’s ALL do something and step one is to get rid of this lousy president and the Senate leadership. This is done by every single Conservative and Republican voting for the Party nominee and then afterwards standing on their feet, right in their faces and telling them what WE, their bosses want them to do.
One or two cycles of actually backing up threats to them by tossing them from office and I believe they will be paying closer attention to what we the people have to say. Somewhere along the line these sh*theads have decided they are the boss and we work for them. This needs to be changed and 2010 was a start. e just need to keep on keepin; on.
Right on.. I’m gonna step it up.... my involvement.. yeah.
Looks like the “new world order” is taking shape...
I left the Jehovahs Witnesses when I was 16, some of my family is still in the faith. By some respects they can claim exemptions.
I may very well claim an exemption due to religious beliefs such as no blood transfusions. I would rather say I am a Witness than a Moslem any day of the week.
Also on my grandmothers side of the family she was a descendant of the Sioux Indian nation.
And today we got a notice that our insurance company is asking for up to 20% increase on our health insurance because of increased costs. It has quadrupled in 4 years already not counting this. I am livid.
I think you have something there.
I think the Dad Bush made it pretty clear that he was for the New World Order.
The son Bush, dim bulb that he is, is probably 100% on board, if only under pain of losing his inheritance from Dad.
Yes, the GOP appears to have been infiltrated by statists, communists, democrats, one-worlders, totalitarians, socialists... their names are different but it is mere hairsplitting.
The Bushes are a phalanx of this group charged with the mission of delivering the GOP to their camp.
When I see how Bush, Lugar, Chaffee, Snow, etc., behaved over the years, I can explain it only with this model.
And why should we be surprised?
If I were an atheist totalitarian, this would be one solid strategy to pursue. Your thoughts?
Understand.
Roger that. Me too.
But did he get intimidated, or was he the intimidator?
From the article ... the Chief Justice established some important, conservative doctrinal beachheads. He reaffirmed or established (depending on your perspective) some potentially important limits on Congress’s powers under the Commerce Clause, the Necessary and Proper Clause, and the General Welfare Clause. Congress cannot use the Commerce Clause to regulate commerce in a manner that compels people into commerce; it can only regulate existing commerce. Further, such regulation, even if “necessary,” can never be “proper,” no matter its importance to the proper functioning of a broader regulatory scheme. And the General Welfare Clause does not permit Congress to use the states’ dependence on an existing conditional spending program as a means to forcing them to accept significant, qualitative changes to that program. Rather, states must be given the choice to accept or deny the funds associated only with the program’s modifications—at least when the program is similar in size to Medicaid.
