Senators Suing Obama Over Unconstitutional Non-Recess Recess Apointments
— Ace

Â“The presidentÂ’s decision to circumvent the American people by installing his appointees at a powerful federal agency, when the Senate was not in recess, and without obtaining the advice and consent of the Senate, is an unprecedented power grab,Â” McConnell said. Â“We will demonstrate to the court how the presidentÂ’s unconstitutional actions fundamentally endanger the CongressÂ’s role in providing a check on the excesses of the executive branch.Â”

If the appointments are ruled illegal, would all rulings issued by them fall as well?

14 Good. I know some people were getting worked up about this over the winter, because they would have liked to have seen the Senate scream bloody murder as soon as it happened. Sometimes these things must follow their course. And if the courts rule against the Senate, it doesn't mean it's the end of the world, it just means the rules, as currently interpreted, must be used as aggressively when the R's turn comes.

Go ahead and include where you'll be coming from (outside the metroplex, just general area is fine, inside the Metroplex, what part of DFW will help me decide on a venue).

20 Michelle Obama made a remarkable claim when talking up her husband, President Barack Obama, at a campaign event earlier today in Nashville, Tennessee. "I am so in," Michelle Obama said toward the end of her remarks. "I am going to be working so hard. We have an amazing story to tell. This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light." The crowd of nearly 450 folks applauded as the first lady likened her husband to a Jesus-like figure. In the book of Matthew, we read, "the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up." (Matthew 4:16) The phrase is used to describe the words Jesus preached. In Micah, light, however, is a reference to God's words. "Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me," it says in Micah 7:8. Either way, in religious terms, light is used to denote the true path, presented either by God or a savior. Or by Barack Obama. Ah what are the words? Oh yeah: Fuck you michelle

True. He could be caught with both a dead girl and a live boy in his bed, and the Democrats would cry "partisanship!"

The problem isn't that- it's that so many people hear "Impeachment" and their brains turn off. Even 20 some (oh, man, did I just type that?) years after the fact, how many people think the Clinton impeachment was "just about sex?"

150 About 60,000 active-duty troops and reservists owe the IRS roughly $390 million in back taxes, in part because of confusion caused by frequent overseas deployments and address changes. "Military tax returns are a little more complicated," said Theresa Buchholz, a tax research analyst with H&R Block Tax Services in Kansas City, Mo. Among the reasons servicemembers are susceptible to tax troubles: Â•Confusion over eligibility rules for a tax break on income earned while serving in combat zones. Â•Frequent moves that increase the odds tax documents are mailed to an old address. Â•Risk of deployed troops missing deadlines for response to IRS queries. Easy solution: Just forgive all the debt for the troops and call it not even close to being even.

The paper explains: When civil-rights organizers wanted to demonstrate, these federal workers taught them how to peacefully manage crowds. They even arranged a police escort for college students to ensure safe passage for their 40-mile march from Daytona Beach to Sanford to demand justice. [...] Â“They were there for us,Â” said the Rev. Valarie Houston, pastor of Allen Chapel AME Church, a focal point for the community after the unarmed teenÂ’s death.

188 I just heard on FOX tonight that the end of the world is not 12/21/12 but 12/31/12 when the new tax crap hits the fan...which has been set up by this administration to work this way. The GOP has a budget, they don't, but it is the GOP's fault. And heaven only knows what this jug-eared buffoon is capable of when unleashed after a loss in November.

We are all Ted Nugent now.

190 IANAL, but I believe the counter-argument is that you don't have to work in a closed shop. You can always choose to go not work somewhere else.

191 I believe the counter-argument is that you don't have to work in a closed shop. Minor issue. The larger issue is unionized public services (and mandated unionization of limited source industry; i.e. aircraft manufacturing and defense contracting). When the people can't GET services from an open shop, well....

193 If I were the GOP, I'd have the Impeachment papers ready fro November 8th, just in case. A lame-duck SCOAMF could do lots of damage on his way out.

194 105 Obama could slit the throat of a child on live television and hand over
our nuclear launch coded to dinnerjacket personally and the democrats
would accuse republicans of playing politics by attempting to impeach
him for those acts.

True. He could be caught with both a dead girl and a live boy in his bed, and the Democrats would cry "partisanship!"

The problem isn't that- it's that so many people hear "Impeachment" and their brains turn off. Even 20 some (oh, man, did I just type that?) years after the fact, how many people think the Clinton impeachment was "just about sex?"

Wait - what? I quit watching the news because ALL it was was s.e.x. 24/7. Blah blah blah...
