Overnight Open Thread (9-24-2013)

Looking for some new shows to watch? Well let me suggest two shows for you...

Spaced (1999)

Circumstances force Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes to be roommates along with other oddball residents of the house they're renting. Plot complications and hilarity ensure. Despite its typical premise it really is a clever and funny series. Here's a complete episode to give you a taste. You really don't need anymore background than I've given you to appreciate it.

Legit (2013-)

For some reason Tivo decided I would like this series and started recording for me. And what do you know - I do.

Here Australian comedian Jim Jeffries plays a struggling actor in LA who's delightfully offensive (both on purpose and by accident) and his dealings with agents, women, and his loserish friends/roommates one of whom is both dying of MS and perpetually horny. Here's a short clip.

The Connection Between Airbnb and Serial Killers

Has the decline in serial killers led to the rise of a high-trust 'sharing economy'? Yes says this article:

Collectively these companies have raised over $200 million in funding to power what's known as the "sharing economy." But there was time not so long ago when the idea of interacting so freely with complete strangers would have made many Americans much more uncomfortable. "There was a cultural moment during the '70s and '80s where the dominant boogieman was the serial killer. This figure crystallized our worst fears, and walked among us," says Harold Schecter, a professor at Queens College and a true-crime writer.

...What role has the internet played in reversing this trend? Mike Aamodt, a psychology professor who has studied serial killers, says the web has created a new paradigm. "There is an identity layer that exists now which prevents predators from moving between communities and staying unnoticed as they did in decades past," he tells The Verge. "A Google search makes it more difficult to simply leave your history behind."

And the overall reduction of violent crime in general:

There is another long-term trend at play here: the sustained and significant drop in the rate of violent crime across the nation over the past few decades. This is especially true in the metropolitan areas where the majority of the startups at the forefront of the sharing economy have taken root. The most dangerous precincts in New York City now report less violent crime than the safest areas did back in 1993. San Francisco's murder rate has dropped to levels not seen since the 1960s.

Ted Cruz: The GOP's Obama?

Jonah Goldberg points out that both fit a similar template - and have a similar trajectory though Cruz has more actual achievements to point to and seems far more interested in making a difference along the way. Yet one is loved and the other is loathed by elite.

National Review editor Rich Lowry put his finger on one plausible source of elite liberal hatred for Cruz: betrayal. "Cruz is from the intellectual elite, but not of it, a tea party conservative whose politics are considered gauche at best at the storied universities where he studied. He is, to borrow the words of the 2009 H.W. Brands biography of FDR, a traitor to his class." (I hate to correct my boss, but Brands didn't coin that phrase).
What liberals hate in Cruz, they love in Obama: a product of an elite education who confirms all their feelings of superiority. Obama took the desiccated ideas of campus liberalism and made them seem vibrant, stylish and even populist.

Both men made political hay of their ethnicity. It worked better for Obama, but it's worth noting that Cruz has an impressive list of "firsts" for a Latino, which he proudly - and rightly - highlights in his official biography.
The real similarities, however, come in the form of their approach to politics. Both landed in the U.S. Senate, running with larger ambitions in mind. Moreover, both grasp that historically the Senate whittles away presidential timber. Like John F. Kennedy, Obama was there just long enough to run for president. And while Obama was there, his chief goal was burnishing his presidential image, not racking up legislative accomplishments.

And Cruz also shares the problem that a lot of senators have - he hasn't actually run anything - and that would be a concern if he runs for President.

The Guns of the Kenyan Defense Forces

Whenever I see pictures of foreign soldiers I amuse myself by trying to identify all of guns. And so photos of the Kenyan forces battle with the Jihadis in the mall has been like a gun Jeopardy. It's rare to see photos in which any two Kenyans have the same type weapons - they seem to have a mix of M-16s, FALs, AK-47s, SCARs, G5s, MP5s, and who knows what else. Kenya isn't a wealthy county so I guess they buy up whatever is cheap on the surplus market.

End of the Line for the Hippie Van

It carried hippies through the 1960s, hauled surfers in search of killer waves during endless summers and serves as a workhorse across the developing world, but the long, strange trip of the Volkswagen van is ending.
Brazil is the last place in the world still producing the iconic vehicle, or "bus" as it's known by aficionados, but VW says production will end Dec. 31. Safety regulations mandate that every vehicle in Brazil must have air bags and anti-lock braking systems starting in 2014, and the company says it cannot change production to meet the law.
Although output will halt in Brazil, there should be plenty of VW vans rolling along for decades if only because there are so many, and they are so durable. VW produced more than 10 million Volkswagen Transporter vans globally since the model was introduced 63 years ago in Germany, though not all resemble the classic hippie machine. More than 1.5 million have been produced in Brazil since 1957.

Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets to Drivers 'Texting' at Red Lights

Just so far this year.

Officer Myers said he sees most people typing away on their phones while waiting at red lights. 'Most people think they're safe there,' Myers said. However, he said it's still illegal. 'At a red light, you're still driving, according to the law. You're on a roadway, behind (the wheel of) a car, in charge of it, with a vehicle in drive,' Myers said. Myers also tickets drivers using navigation apps. One driver said she was just using her phone's GPS. The law forbids that and Myers issued her a ticket. "That's right. You can't use your navigation while driving. Unless it is a GPS-only device, such as Garmin or Tom Tom, something that is not used as a communication device,' Myers said."

This is a classic case of police going after people for an offense just because it's easy and lucrative rather than any real safety issue. And the law isn't even consistent - you can drive while holding up a paper map but if you hold your phone map up, you'll going to get ticketed for talking/texting while driving.

Oktoberfest!

20 Right now (11:00 pm EST), Ted Cruz is holding the floor of the Senate (C-span2).

He's actually fascinating. Check him out on the Toob or online, and put up a prayer for him and Sen. Mike Lee, also holding forth. At least there are two Men in the Senate.

I wish Hairy Reed would plotz already.

65 Evening, all! I'm watching "Circle of Iron" on EPIX Drive-In right now. One of the oddest, more meandering movies I've ever seen, full of guys with 70s hair and porn 'staches, wearing inexplicable loin cloths. Also David Carradine. Next up is "Deathstalker," which is even MORE inane and nonsensical. I've seen it twice and still have no idea what the hell the conflict is about nor why I should care. But it's an awesome movie at which to snark.

128 A lot to like about Ted Cruz. Ted gets it. We don't ask our politicians to always win, but we do ask that they always fight. Sometimes retreat is required, but retreat smartly. Know that every move you make has repercussions well beyond the singular move. A lot of people dismiss lawyers as politicians, but a good lawyer knows that the one thing you cannot do is lose trust. Cruz, unlike most if the GOP, is determined not to lose the voters' trust. We need 100 of him in the Senate.

I say that because they sure take the offense at the term. I only use it in the sense that their livelihood (as far as I know) revolves entirely around national politics. That does make them elite. It's not necessarily a pejorative, and they'd have to be abjectly dishonest to claim that they're just everyday citizens without any interest in political outcomes.

They are the group most likely to be uninsured. They are also the core support base for both Obama and ObamaCare. If anything, that is a great reason NOT to delay the individual mandate. In the immortal words of HL Mencken: They "deserve to get it good and hard." With boils. Also, delaying the mandate can't stop insurance prices from spiking - that train done left the station already. Taking away the aristocrats special privileges though, that's a great idea.

Some guy here apparently shot his 4 year old up with heroin this morning. The mother came home and found both the kid and his dad unconscious. Or course the police aren't ruling out yet the possibility that someone from outside the home came and shot them up with heroin, but I think they are just sort of saying that perfunctorily. What kind of dad shoots his kid up with heroin?

And what sort of hell hole is my neighborhood of half a million to 2 million dollar homes descending into where this sort of thing happens?

193 3/4 of state legislatures have to vote for anything out of an Article V convention. So I don't get what your trying to say here. If your worried about progressives winning something out of a convention, they have to get it past thirty republican state legislatures. I have more faith in the republican state senators than the national party. Posted by: NWConservative at September 24, 2013 11:22 PM (M1gmo) Or by conventions. Even if it were by legislature, don't you think that the Left would throw everything and anything they have to win 3/4 of the legislatures, even if briefly?

277 Is Senator Cruz allowed to text on his phone during this 'filibuster', or will a Federal Marshall give him a ticket? I think the most amazing thing is that Ted Cruz, after all, does not look like Heinrich Himmler or some demon with horns. Or even a wacko bird. Who knew?

278 Cruz doing the job ten -- and could some support. Kudos to Lee and Rand for standing up, but the fact that Cruz stands almost alone in the party is telling.

Good piece at Legal Insurrection about N. Sharansky's act of sitting in the snow in defiance of authorities who wanted to keep his book of psalms upon his release just because they thought they could.

This dissidentin' stuff is hard lonely work and leaves the character stronger and with more resolve.

If you are in the "Let It Burn" camp, pushing for full implementation makes sense. I strongly disagree with that position for theological, philosophical, and tactical reasons and feel the best course of action is to force the collapse of ObamaCare.

"This 'individual mandate' is, by the AdministrationÂ’s own admission, the 'linchpin' of the Washington takeover of health care. If the mandate were to go away, the whole costly and intrusive scheme would unravel." (http://bit.ly/18hvHs0)

"The lawÂ’s champions have always considered the individual mandate to be the indispensable provision. It is what allows them to make the only boast they really care to make, which is that the lawÂ—in their estimationÂ—will deliver on the long-sought goal of Â“universal coverageÂ” (which now appears to mean covering all but 30 million people in our country). And it is what allows them to attempt to transform the purchase of government-sanctioned health insurance from just another consumer choice into a social obligation, if not a legal decree."

569 318 I have not read Levin's book, so I could be missing something. But it seems our biggest problem is not following clear provisions in the existing constitution. How would changing it help?

Posted by: Beagle at September 24, 2013 11:51 PM (sOtz/)

Levin's Amendments (summarized)

1. Term Limits no more than twelve years either in house or senate

2. State legislature elects senators

3. Term limits for supreme court and super majority federal legislature override of supreme court rulings

4. Amendments limiting the budget to 17.5% of GDP and if budgets are not passed a 5% cut to previous year's budget is enacted automatically. Debt limit and budget limit needs a three fifths vote to override

5. Limit on collecting taxes to day before election, no more than 15% total annual income, no VAT/Sales tax/any other tax (just flat tax).

6. All federal depts need reauthorization every three years, cannot pass regulations creating economic burden of more than 100 million without affirmation by congress select committee and if committee doesn't vote the regulation is automatically not enacted.

7. Restrict Commerce Clause to limit to INTERSTATE commerce only (state to state conflicts) not to activities within states that can affect interstate commerce. Cannot compel individuals to engage in commerce.

8. Legislatures may directly amend constitution with 2/3 vote with a six year time limit and as long as it is identical in wording.

9. Bills must be displayed for thirty days before final vote which may be overridden by 2/3 vote of the federal legislature.

10. Three fifth votes of state legislatures may override executive regulation and congressional statutes. They are not subject to any court case or federal review, no judge shopping by democrats.

11. Voter ID required for national elections, early voting no more than thirty days before elections.

701 She said, I called our Senator's office today. His Washington office phone machine was full, so she called his number in Tulsa. Got a human. She left a message, I would like Dr. Coburn to support Senator Cruz in his filibuster and do everything he can to defund Obamacare. I understand this is not been his position. However I believe it is the position of the majority of his constituents. She got a meek thank you. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my wife?

745 Miss80sBaby, I'm only LIB when it comes to the ACA. Aren't you? The "whole scheme unravels" only to the extent that it becomes financially unsustainable over the long term. So? Then they'll just start tinkering, restricting care, etc. Or it just blows up the insurance companies and rings in single payer. Or both. It won't get rid of ACA. If you shield Obama's base from the effects, they can and will continue to support the law. Absent massive public outrage, the law stays. Strategically AND morally, Obama's base needs to sleep in the bed they made.

The Repubs really should go after the 'obamacare's war on women' theme, most notably because it is. They always talk about the 'free' stuff for women in there but the premium increases for families, especially single mothers and young women are going to be brutal.

It has the real possibility of forcing Democrats to make concessions and bend Harry Reid's ear because of the mid-terms.

They are allowed to make amendments, with concessions and force a vote that actually makes members deliberate their choices instead of "cover asses" and let things pass.

Put it to the states via conventions, and again the Proggies will probably win simply by labeling anyone who runs against them as H8ers or whatnot. I have no faith that the plurality of voters in 3/4 of the states will actually adhere to the founding principles, especially if the Proggies throw anything and everything they have to win, because if they win that, they win everything.

1041 1. Term Limits no more than twelve years either in house or senate Better yet, prohibit any Federal elected official from succeeding themselves in office. 2. State legislature elects senators Considering many state legislatures are even worse than the electorate, I doubt it'll do much good. 3. Term limits for supreme court and super majority federal legislature override of supreme court rulings I read an interesting proposal many years ago over at the Volokh conspiracy. They proposed that a new Supreme Court judge be elected every so often (10 year or one per POTUS term or something) with SCOTUS comprising of the 9 newest members. If there is a vacancy, the next newest goes back on SCOTUS automatically. 4. Amendments limiting the budget to 17.5% of GDP and if budgets are not passed a 5% cut to previous year's budget is enacted automatically. Debt limit and budget limit needs a three fifths vote to override Not sure about the specifics, especially when they can just redefine "GDP" or even "%"Â… 5. Limit on collecting taxes to day before election, no more than 15% total annual income, no VAT/Sales tax/any other tax (just flat tax). Abolish withholding. Make it so that people have to directly write out a check for what they owe. Right now it is taken out of their paycheck so it doesn't seem like they are having anything taken away, and refunds seem like free money from the gov't. 6. All federal depts need reauthorization every three years, cannot pass regulations creating economic burden of more than 100 million without affirmation by congress select committee and if committee doesn't vote the regulation is automatically not enacted. How about prohibiting regulations by the executive? 7. Restrict Commerce Clause to limit to INTERSTATE commerce only (state to state conflicts) not to activities within states that can affect interstate commerce. Cannot compel individuals to engage in commerce. In other words, restate what the Constitution already says more explicitly? Sad we have to resort to that. 8. Legislatures may directly amend constitution with 2/3 vote with a six year time limit and as long as it is identical in wording. 3/4 would be better. 9. Bills must be displayed for thirty days before final vote which may be overridden by 2/3 vote of the federal legislature. You mean overridden by the state legislatures? Also should include provision for overriding by power of referendum. 10. Three fifth votes of state legislatures may override executive regulation and congressional statutes. They are not subject to any court case or federal review, no judge shopping by democrats. As above. 11. Voter ID required for national elections, early voting no more than thirty days before elections. We don't have national elections. It ought to be the prerogative of the states to take care of their own elections. Another suggestion: Allow the states to have their upper chamber be constituted differently than by allocation by districts of equal size. Basically, bring back the old "Federal" system many state Senates used before they were struck down in the 1950's. If that were in force, New York, California, and many other states would have hardcore right-wing state Senates.

1042 I'm just not an optimist when it comes to potentially replacing the Constitution. I don't doubt that the Proggies would be able to get their people elected to a convention by hook or crook. They will lie and then their minions will push for who the hell knows what.

Put it to the states via conventions, and again the Proggies will probably win simply by labeling anyone who runs against them as H8ers or whatnot.

I have no faith that the plurality of voters in 3/4 of the states will actually adhere to the founding principles, especially if the Proggies throw anything and everything they have to win, because if they win that, they win everything.

Posted by: The Political Hat at September 25, 2013 12:43 AM (Vk2pI)

State conventions have only been used once to repeal Prohibition. It would most likely go to the state legislature. You need to have 38 state legislatures vote on the exact wording of each amendment proposed by the Article V convention. Sure you could have out and out communists there, but you still need to have 38 state legislatures voting for any amendment. Voters do not get to vote on these amendments your legislature does and it requires a majority not plurality (this is not Germany or any parliamentary system, majority rules).

1043 Help make that case and push for a delay under the guise of "fixing" it. Work to divide vulnerable Dems in the process rather than what Cruz has done, which is to create division within his own party. The latter might be good for Cruz, but not for actually accomplishing anything. Posted by: Hollowpoint I think most of us would like to see that happen but we're of the opinion that that kind of finesse is rarely seen in either party, and the GOP hasn't shown any interest in fighting. They can pat themselves on the back over passing 30+ salutary resolutions to defund but guess what? Not one of those resolutions has received a .0001% of the attention Cruz has. (Also, 18+ jobs bills. Can you name one without looking? Don't bother. ) The GOP is ineffectual where they need to be strongest; having something to say in opposition to disastrous legislation being funded as default and getting some gottdamn attention. Look at it this way; In 'Gunga Din', was Gunga stupidly brave or bravely stupid?

1044 527 Cruz didn't create the division. If the party leadership had stood with him, maybe they could have peeled off some dems. It is naÃ¯ve to think Reid and the JEF would allow any changes at all unless its single payer. Reid is not allowing any changes, never will

Posted by: thunderb at September 25, 2013 12:54 AM (zOTsN)

No thunderb. You see Cruz is wrong because he didn't get behind the delay effort. Its all his fault. He created the divisiveness. Not the ones that wanted to delay instead of defund. Even though they weren't able to get their message out as strongly, its all Cruz's fault he didn't fall in line behind them, rather than them join with him. Because you see Cruz is just out for himself and only wants to raise his profile ~~and fundraise~~*

*Fundraise needing to be taken out since last Friday when the House went and decided to use it as well.

1049 498 Political Hat, this isn't personal because I admire your writing and political analysis quite a bit and have recommended your blog to other people, but I'm reminded of the words of Teddy Roosevelt (I know, proto-statest) " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. " If we lose, we lose, but we have to fight the fight. Sometime you have to look your opponent in the eye and call. If we do nothing we're doomed anyway, I say we go out with blood on our bayonets. Texas lost at the Alamo, but by fighting the losing fight they made possible success at San Jacinto.

1069 Hollowpoint...

The ultimate result of not allowing a 51-vote "hiding and allowing procedure", is the availability of debate amongst Senators on the merits of the bill.

Afterwards, an amendments process can be debated. When Republicans introduce language that holds Congress to the same laws that apply to plebes, the defense becomes that of Democrats.

If Harry Reid's defense displeases unions and proles, alike? Those Democrats in Purple States must then defend their votes, as well as the debate-video, which then becomes "Political Ads".

The process in the Senate is confusing and somewhat arcane, but those who refuse to use it will certainly finish with a dick-in-the-ass.

I'm only LIB when it comes to the ACA. Aren't you? The "whole scheme unravels" only to the extent that it becomes financially unsustainable over the long term. So? Then they'll just start tinkering, restricting care, etc.

No. Both parties recognize that ObamaCare is not working and the fate of the law will be determined by the outcome of the next two elections. If the Democrats regain complete control of the legislative branch in 2014, they will push for single-payer. But if the Republicans retake control of the Senate in 2014, retain control of both bodies in 2016, and win the 2016 presidential election, they will attempt to fully repeal and completely defund ObamaCare, then try to pass a conservative replacement plan (The Empowering Patients First Act, The Patients' Choice Act, The American Health Reform Act, or a new plan).

If you shield Obama's base from the effects, they can and will continue to support the law. Absent massive public outrage, the law stays. Strategically AND morally, Obama's base needs to sleep in the bed they made.

The law will not immediately collapse, so they will, to a certain extent.

1092 Sorry wall of text incoming:

2. State legislature elects senators

Considering many state legislatures are even worse than the electorate, I doubt it'll do much good.

---I disagree. I puts the focus on the state and it is much easier to work against corruption. You need to bribe 50 state legislatures who are more in tune with the political process rather than working with idiot LIV every six years. Hardest one to pass though.

...

4. Amendments limiting the budget to 17.5% of GDP and if budgets are not passed a 5% cut to previous year's budget is enacted automatically. Debt limit and budget limit needs a three fifths vote to override

Not sure about the specifics, especially when they can just redefine "GDP" or even "%"Â…

---Agree with you here.

...

6. All federal depts need reauthorization every three years, cannot pass regulations creating economic burden of more than 100 million without affirmation by congress select committee and if committee doesn't vote the regulation is automatically not enacted.

How about prohibiting regulations by the executive?

---It is the job of the executive to enforce the laws created by congress. Congress reviews regulations and if the executive doesn't want to cooperate, don't reauthorize the dept.

7. Restrict Commerce Clause to limit to INTERSTATE commerce only (state to state conflicts) not to activities within states that can affect interstate commerce. Cannot compel individuals to engage in commerce.

In other words, restate what the Constitution already says more explicitly? Sad we have to resort to that.

---Yep.

8. Legislatures may directly amend constitution with 2/3 vote with a six year time limit and as long as it is identical in wording.

3/4 would be better.

---Agree.

9. Bills must be displayed for thirty days before final vote which may be overridden by 2/3 vote of the federal legislature.

You mean overridden by the state legislatures? Also should include provision for overriding by power of referendum.

---No. Federal. For situations like Obamacare having only a day or two for review. Federal legislature (house/senate) can override it for declaration of war, emergencies that supermajorities support. I don't support referendums on the federal or even state level. I think people are too easily demagogued into supporting emotional positions. Gun control would have passed in a national referendum earlier this year.

...

11. Voter ID required for national elections, early voting no more than thirty days before elections.

We don't have national elections. It ought to be the prerogative of the states to take care of their own elections.

---What?? We have national elections for President, House, and Senate candidates. The state government should take care of state elections and the federal government should take care of federal elections.

1095 Cruz didn't create the division. If the party leadership had stood with him, maybe they could have peeled off some dems. Stand with him on what? He's making it up as he goes along and isn't making any effort to get others on board. First he put all the onus on the House, now he's conducting a psuedo-filibuster on the House bill. He hasn't been coordinating with his Senate colleagues. That's not a recipe for getting cooperation. Again- he's smart enough to know that Obamacare won't be defunded while Obama is in office. He's not trying to. In the end he'll have accomplished nothing other than raise his own profile at the expense of party unity.

You need to bribe 50 state legislatures who are more in tune with the political process rather than working with idiot LIV every six years. That's how they used to do it. Not saying I have a problem with the proposal, it's just that I don't think it'll make a huge positive impact. No. Federal. For situations like Obamacare having only a day or two for review. Federal legislature (house/senate) can override it for declaration of war, emergencies that supermajorities support. I don't support referendums on the federal or even state level. I think people are too easily demagogued into supporting emotional positions. Gun control would have passed in a national referendum earlier this year. Wouldn't this just be the same thing as Congress passing a repeal, and then overriding with a 2/3 vote if necissary? What?? We have national elections for President, House, and Senate candidates. The state government should take care of state elections and the federal government should take care of federal elections. Wrong. The states run the elections, not the Federal government. This applies for all Federal offices: House, Senate, and member of the Electoral College.

1118 Our side needs to get it through their heads that Obama won't be running for office ever again.

Fighting Obama serves little purpose with regards to Obamacare. The fight that matters is gaining the means (seats) to reverse his policies.

True, exposing the failures of Obamacare is part of that effort, but people will see that soon enough, with or without Ted Cruz and his 2016 plans.

Posted by: Hollowpoint at September 25, 2013 01:04 AM (X9Mnx)

True, Obama is not running for office ever again. Which means he can and is taking any position he wants. Right now he is the figurehead of the democrat party. He is very vocally in favor of his Obamacare, which is destroying the medical field, forcing people to buy health insurance, dropping people from their existing plans, and raising premiums.

Running against Obama channels the anger of the people against a single target and a good politician can tie fellow party members to him. So I say blast away Cruz and Lee.

The plan is -- and I've said this EVERY FUCKING YEAR since there was a real budget -- pass 30, 40, 50, 60, whatever, little continuing resolutions in the House. Fund Defense; fund Foodstamps; fund FBI, fund whatever, and throw them over the wall to the Senate. When the Senate tries to tie the entire Leviathan to one and throw it back.....tell 'em that's already covered in the others.

And in amongst the CRs for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and USPS, the House just conveniently "forgets" Obamacare, the White House entertainment budget, the entire Department of Education, all the green parts of the Department of Energy, the entire Department of Labor, etc. After all, there were 50 of them, and "math is hard."

When the Dems come back and shriek "you're defunding Defense!!!!" The House goes, "no, we didn't -- that was bill #3, "fund Defense".....didn't you read the fucking thing?" And the Senate will come back with "but it wasn't attached to Obamacare and everything else in bill #1!" Whereupon we can all point and laugh.

In the way I think you mean it, yes. But State Legislatures and Governors are foundations. Senators are part of those foundations, as checks and balances.

Where you're going wrong is in the duality of the office, whereas with State Legislatures appointing Senators truly represents The States.

...checks and balances.

States' legislative elections becoming a prominent point of discussion and debate allow states like Ohio to drop Socialist pigs like Sherrod Brown.

He has never worked in the interest of a coal-producing State. While the inverse is also true of New York and California, the legislative process and Interest of The States would be truly represented.

1157 Where you're going wrong is in the duality of the office, whereas with State Legislatures appointing Senators truly represents The States. ...checks and balances. Posted by: Slapweasel at September 25, 2013 01:48 AM (lq3Ak) Being appointed by the legislature doesn't mean they will represent the state. The 17th Amendment was passed because it was felt that a Senator could not represent the state if they were beholden to entrenched legislators. While it could keep out Senators who can pull a fast one over the voters every 6 years, it could entrench those who don't give a crap about the state. I could easily see the legislature voting in someone who will raise Federal taxes and give out pork to the state legislative leaders with impunity. It would only be in rare instances that someone will turnout their state legislator because someone else who isn't on their ballot does some stuff they don't like. Even then, the legislators would probably just pick someone just as bad but new. I like the idea of making Senators advocates for their states rather than inside-the-beltway schmucks. I just don't think that going back to pre-17th Amendment selection of Senators would actually make a difference. By having the Gov. be a Senator as well, it would make the Senate a "Council of Governors" and they could directly advocate for their own states. They would be forced to choose between local interests and inside-the-beltway interests, and woe to those who throw their own state under the bus.

Nah, you don't have to worry about that. The Republicans in Virginia thankfully have a chokehold on the House of Delegates and currently hold a majority (a tie broken by the Lt. Gov.) in the Senate. Even assuming they lose control of the Senate they'll still hold the House for the foreseeable future thanks to a brutally effective redistricting a couple years back. No gun regs are going to pass in Virginia.

I think that any democrat in an off year in Virginia needs to have a much higher lead than 3-4 pts to get into election day against a an official who won his last election statewide with a 58% majority, especially when I think the third party guy will not get 8-10% of the vote like some polls are saying he is. Look at Christie's race in 2009, third party guy did not do as well as predicted, Daggett was winning an average of 10% of the votes in polling and only got around 5% election day.

He has self-branded as a hardcore social conservative -- with those issues being his primary defining quality rather than any economic credentials -- in a state where Republicans who run as hardcore social conservatives will never get elected statewide again. Ironically enough, Bob McDonnell came out of a background that was easily as socially conservative as Cooch (he went to Liberty U, for cryin' out loud), but you never would've known it from the way he ran his campaign: it was strictly "Bob's For Jobs" and absolutely none of the socon hot button stuff whatsoever.

Meanwhile Ken Cuccinelli is known by most VA voters for being "the guy who pushed trans-vaginal ultrasounds." Regardless of your personal feelings about that policy, it is/was only slightly more popular than cholera with the voters in the state, even among many anti-abortion voters.

He's so much more competent as a potential chief executive than Terry McAuliffe that it's almost a bad joke, but he cannot escape from the reputation he carefully cultivated for himself over the past four years. It's just a terrible fit for a state whose center of gravity has shifted radically towards Northern Virginia in the past ten years. VA will elect conservative Republicans so long as they brand themselves as business-minded, economics-first types. They're not going to elect a guy whose primary identity in the minds of voters is as a right-wing culture warrior, not anymore.

You are only buying a one time every two or four years vote vs/ buying everyvote made by a popularly elected Senator. Frankly, where there is power, there will be a way to buy it. Directly by campaign by buying an entire candidate, or indirectly by bribing more candidates for but a single vote. Either which way it will be bought. Only by restricting the power that there is to buy that we will reduce the buying of political power.

1188 By the way, I don't actually think it's necessarily over for Cuccinelli. I think he's far more likely than not to lose, but he is at least blessed by having Terry McAuliffe as his opponent. This is one of the few races where you actually could see a 'miracle' happening and Cuccinelli winning, so I don't want to completely foreclose all hope. But make no mistake: had the Democrats nominated anyone other than T-Mac (hell, even Creigh Deeds!) this would be a massacre for us. Guys who market themselves like Cuccinelli has just aren't going to sell in Virginia anymore.

Considering the fact that ObamaCare would still be the law of the land under either scenario until it was fully repealed and completely defunded, the primary tactical question is which option provides more motivation for the voters. My primary concern, then, regarding the full implementation option is that there are numerous examples of pain failing to cause the voters to desire change, the most recent example being the 2012 election.

So, the lottery operator and the winner go off to the stables and find the donkey is dead.....and the winner starts complaining.

"OK, you wagered a dollar -- here's your dollar back, so you wagered nothing. Go home." was the initial offer. "I entered a lottery for a donkey, and I want a donkey's worth of value 'cause I won," was the response.

"Fine, here's $20 -- go buy your own donkey" says the promoter -- and the "winner" goes off happy.

The story illustrates how people instinctively misvalue probability -- and how a mathematical evaluation of same lays this out in black-and-white.

You make a persuasive argument. Especially because advocates for the States are most often, necessarily Governors. I'll peruse that thought, and I appreciate your non Weft Cut-Loop responses. (And I love WCL because he's WCL. You certainly get your point across, sir! You surly, lovely BASTARD!)

I'd like to ask, however, how many Governors -who have gone on to be President, have advocated for States' Rights? Reagan was the last, but the top-down attitude has changed significantly since then.

Even Reagan let slip States' Rights as a bargaining chip for defense. "W" took it "all-the-way" with "No-Child", but it slips and slips and slips.

I'm too tired right now. I can't provide examples, so I'm effectively "just asking questions" as "combat ineffective".

I'll read the responses tomorrow, but I thank the horde for providing grist for the mill, food for thought and tit for tat.

Blah, blah. East coast.

1198 637 616 This is a large part of the bureaucracy's attempt to put themselves beyond the reach of government -- but, while true on it's face, it's false in the greater scheme of things. Take, for instance, the 40,000 IRS agents that are supposed to be hired in order to enforce the Obamacare taxes that fund Obamacare....if you cut those, how's that brick going to fly?

"The new law attempts to bypass the normal appropriations process, another feature that makes defunding more difficult. By making advance appropriations for tens of billions of dollars up to the year 2019, these provisions of Obamacare seek to remove spending decisions from the reach of the current Congress and from future Congresses and Presidents. Although Obamacare was not pitched to the public as a mandatory spending entitlement, the details of the legislation reveal an intent to block any future Congress from controlling ObamacareÂ’s spending.

One largely unknown fact is that $6-billion or more was immediately appropriated in the new law and approximately $105-billion more was appropriated for FY2011 and beyond. That violates the typical Congressional process of appropriations."

I do think you can credit them though with the overhead field camera that usually starts behind the quarterback and zooms along following the action. Those shots usually pretty good, and I'm almost certain they were the innovators for it.

1225 Waterhouse, considering how the brains in DC have so far flubbed every step until the PRC actually launched their carrier; I am going into very worried mode about the bland pronouncements of it will take many years for the PRC to get up to US standards in carrier ops. With US carrier deployments down to when the CVE Badoeng Strait was the only flat top when North Korea invaded, what the PRC has right now could be enough to tip the balance.

1237 "...And the law isn't even consistent - you can drive while holding up a paper map but if you hold your phone map up, you'll going to get ticketed for talking/texting while driving."

I can only speak for Honolulu where I was a cop, but I would be surprised if there weren't similar statutes all over the country. Anyway, before there texting laws, there was (and still is) a law on the books called "Inattention to Driving." If I saw someone driving a car while reading a map, doing their makeup, popping their zits, playing a violin (yup, saw that on a German police video once), etc., those drivers would be ticketed just as much as someone texting and driving.

I am totally on board with all these laws. It is just too dangerous to be driving a 3000 lb machine without looking. Sheesh!

Posted by: Mike at September 24, 2013 11:14 PM (5/BV3)

1249 744 - He can yield for a question(s) (when he does he's not actually yielding the floor in that case), but he can't leave the chamber (assuming some Dem has been tasked to be on 'on-watch'), leaving the chamber is taken as yielding the floor as far as I recall.

Posted by: ThisBeingMilt at September 24, 2013 11:20 PM (7mQyC)

1250 644 Well it sure is demonstrating what a bunch of gutless pussies our "representatives" are, and why they need to be replaced, so we can possibly get ones in that will actually stick to the effort.

While there are probably a small number of congressional Republicans who secretly support ObamaCare, a majority fall into two camps- (1) delay and (2) defund. (Of the second group, some support it as the opening bid but would settle for delay.) So at the end of the day, at least 98% of congressional Republicans agree that ObamaCare is an abomination that must ultimately be fully repealed and completely defunded but disagree regarding dismantling tactics.

Or we can just watch John Boehner roll onto his back and piss himself some more.

Has Boehner helped feed the perception that he is weak? Absolutely, but do not underestimate how divisions over tactics and extractions within the House R Conference have weakened his hand. Same goes for the tension between the House and Senate Republicans (which existed prior to the last election).

That gutless fucking weasel has weakened his own hand. You can claim that the divisions have helped to cause it. But those divisions came from his worthless efforts. That he's demonstrated that he was a worthless pussy after the election, to where he decided he is not a representative but instead a facillitator.

Boehner is a serviceable Speaker whose biggest problem (in my opinion) is that he refuses to put his foot down when necessary. As aforementioned, while it sometimes appears that the House Rs are divided over principles, they are more often than not often split over tactics (e.g., defund and/or delay) and extractions (e.g., one member wants ten specific items while another desires four). Boehner does a pretty good job of listening to the rank-and-file but he is far too accommodating, which only encourages infighting and confusion.

With regards to your last, that particular comment referred specifically to tactics. If you want to shift the conversation to Boehner, I feel that a certain amount of the criticism is definitely deserved but there have also been times when he has been falsely accused of wrongdoing by a few conservative media outlets. That said, he needs to do a better job of explaining policy positions and communicating his intentions. If people understand what you are doing and why you are doing it, they will be less likely to question you.

1349 I expect the morning news shows to totally ignore this. And when the Senate tosses it back over the wall to the House with the Ocare restored? The House should send them the EXACT same bill all over again. Fund the government. Don't fund Obamacare.

Posted by: Sam Clovis, Senate candidate with the tastiest garbage! at September 25, 2013 01:56 AM (jevZa)

1350 If OCare is so fully funded that 'defunding' it cannot work, recall this -- When the bill was passed, it was passed with a projected 10 year deficit cost of just under $1 trillion. So no, it does not totally fund itself, even as passed 4 years ago.

Of course, that number went right out of the window just a few short months later; the increase in the deficit is much greater than that. So in no sense is OCare self funding.
