How could any attorney be so stupid as to think that a department of government could be named after an individual?
No wonder he hasn't won any cases.
Disruptor!!!
And she hardly EVER replies.
I was foolishly timid. Next time I won't be.
I predict the next press release will be an attack on President Bush's relationship with Vladimir Putin. Klayman will DEMAND to see the agreement on arms reduction, or oil sales, or whatever. You know he will. It was a slow news day, so all he could grind out quickly was this lame attempt at pot-stirring. The big deal will be on Monday when he goes after Bush and Putin.
I am quite eager to see Klaymamn take on Putin. I think Putin would grind him up in 30 seconds flat.
1. Creation
The post of Attorney General of the United States was created by the Judiciary Act of September 24, 1789, but was created as only an office, not as a full department. The Attorney General was a member of the President's Cabinet and the President's chief legal advisor. By 1870, the work of the Attorney General had expanded to such an extent that the office had become, in effect, an executive department of the government. In recognition of this fact, the Congress, on June 22, 1870, enacted a law (today codified at 28 U.S.C. §§ 501, 503) establishing the Department of Justice with the Attorney General as its head.
Actually, Larry knows this full well. So why is he releasing something like this? Stupidity? Alzheimer's? Spite? Blackmail from the Clintons? It really does boggle the mind.
I would think that most Conservatives would frown upon naming government buildings after crooked liberals. Those of you who put party ahead of principle decided to disrupt this thread and attack those who dare criticize your new deity.
But remember, it is you who are being disruptive to this legitimate discussion of Bush's unconservative decision to name a government building after a crooked liberal.
I merely reminded folks that Dog's deity had named government property after crooked liberals before. My behavior should not be considered disruptive on any forum that considers itself to be Conservative.
This is the exact event where the phrase "scorched earth policy" was coined; the old man told them that if they exposed JFK that everybody was going down, too.
As in felons? For instance?
I think you can take it for granted that Edward was drunk. He had just been to a party where alcohol was flowing like wine (all right, all right). None of the political Kennedys, Jack, Bobby, or Teddy would be likely to come out of that environment sober.
And I doubt that Edward M started out with the intention of becoming a submarine commander. It just fell his lot when his Oldsmobile decided to plunge off Dyke bridge, no doubt of its own volition.
The thing about which a lot of us at the time were incredulous is that Edward M Kennedy left the vicinity of the 'accident', went back to Edgartown (how he got there is another question mark), and at no time prior to discovery of the drowned car reported what had happened to ANYONE who could have helped.
In fact, the evidence was that he seemed to be trying to prepare an alibi, asking some hotel help loudly about the time in order to establish his presence in Edgartown.
I still view Edward M Teddy Boy with total contempt.
But I don't care if the building is named after Bobby boy. He has achieved immortality in the public mind by being assassinated, and nothing will change the public perception.
Bobby wouldn't have gotten the nomination even with his victory in the California primary...Humphrey would have been the nominee anyway. Bobby would have gone back to being senator from New York and maybe the fatal party on Chappaquiddick Island would never have taken place.
So you aren't a loyal Republican or a Bush supporter, but you claim to be a conservative.
Since no rabid Libertarian would claim to be a conservative, that pretty well puts you in the McCain/Buchanan/Keyes group of sore losers.
What name were you previously posting under?
I vote for a Keyester, myself.
