Question: Why doesn't Boehner just tell Harry Reid and Obama to stick it where the sun don't shine?
Seriously - there are any number of bills sitting on Reid's table, each of them addressing a separate budget item.
Why doesn't Boehner just get in front of a microphone, tell the American people that it's Reid and Obama who are stonewalling, and then tell the House members to take a few days off until Reid decides to do something?
I'm tired of living crisis to crisis - and it's just going to get worse until 2016 if Republicans don't stop this nonsense.
I'm pretty sure the American people are tired of living this way as well.

*falls face first into thread* Ugh. This morning... work... so busy... people... phone... emailllll...
Also, in cheerful news, NH is likely going to start furloughing federally funded workers starting in November if the shut down continues. Perfectly reasonable, but it sucks because, naturally, I am one such worker.

Since there are three separate budget bills in the Senate awaiting a vote, why is Boner bothering with negotiations. Tell the Senate to pick one and vote. The bills are Govt Funded sans Obamacare, Govt Funded with Obamacare (no waivers/exemptions everyone is in) and Govt Funded with Obamacare delayed one year.
Stick it back to Harry and tell him to vote on all three and get back with us with the Senate's vote tallies.

CAIR (WTF) is a series of shell 501(c)(3)s and (4)s with various names in order to skirt and outright violate the relevant rules on foreign money in politics and whatnot.

Hey, Anna.
I stayed offline all last week and felt the old blood pressure drop. Now I'm back at the HQ and frothing at the mouth.
Writing's going along, though. Think I can almost see the end of the book, though there's still a ton of backfill yet to do.

Per Sen sources, Boehner has agreed to take up the Senate's plan and allow it to pass with Dem votes.
It's funny how Republicans claim to like things like the Debt Ceiling and Hastert Rule until they become inconvenient.

Remember those who told us the debt ceiling was the hill to fight on but now are telling us we have to surrender lest there be a default?
To be fair, that was like, a week ago when they were advocating that.

If you watch baseball on TV, turn the TV sound OFF and turn the radio announcers for the game ON.
TV announcers suck ass and leave way too much dead air. Radio announcers are always talking and tossing out little factoids and stuff that keep it more interesting.

Kimberlin has been trying to unmask ace for a while actually. Patterico commented about it over a year ago (before ace even wrote about Kimberlin the first time.)
I have no idea why he's been obsessed with unmasking ace (other than a general assumption that he thinks ace is somehow involved in this, which, given that ace never even wrote blog post part 2 of the le affair d' kimberlin seems unlikely.)

It wasn't all that shit in the public history schoolbooks tell you started the Civil War--the root cause was that the politicians didn't want to make hard choices and dithered so long that compromise became impossible.

Eh, If I may quote the amazon review of "Citizen K" he's a "top flight con man."
There are stupid people all around, and K managed to latch on to a few and drain them of some money. He even convinced WaPo Magazine a while back that he was "reformed" it's what con men do.
I have my own naiveté, so I'm leary of faulting others for theirs.
Oddly though he hasn't filed suit against Popehat, whose written pretty heavily on him too (even nominating him in his annual "censorious asshat of the year" poll.
Filing suit against places like Redstate and S&S publishers that likely have large legal teams (if that's accurate) is probably a tactical mistake on the order of bombing Pearl Harbor. I'd argue doubly so for S&S since they have an incentive to prevent any precedent of lawsuits that threaten their publishing independence.

Balderdash.
Let's pull out of the talk of the crazy man and look at another case:
Prenda Law suing people who downloaded porn.
A John Doe defendant was actually the catalyst for Prenda's downfall. The getting of the pro bono council part is unclear to me but the council represented him as "john doe" and successfully squashed all subpoenas to unmask him.
He's still "John Doe" actually and Prenda is...uhh...dead but still standing IIRC.

Here's the hilarious thing about that "hard-hearted" comment. I consider that a compliment. Yes. I am cold blooded and hard-hearted and I attempt to be brutally rational when analyzing the world around me. I am pleased to see that I am succeeding in so doing. I've been following the debacle for quite some time. It is very very difficult to bar the courtroom door to serial litigants due to various constitutional protections for access to the courts. Of course, difficult does not mean impossible and someone may be learning the difference very soon. At least I hope so.

The problem is, as in the other lawsuits, he refuses to comply with any discovery and the judges refuse to throw death-penalty sanctions against him.

Not gonna lie AtC, sometimes when I think of you Foreigner's "Cold as ice" pops into my head.
In any case, re: your last comment, the law may be very Kantian, but sometimes it takes that old "right action, right time, right people" Aristotelian saw to accomplish something.
With any luck this will be the group that fits that bill.

Why? Well, he apparently did a lot of bad stuff and had policies that only Barack Obama can reverse, which is why the current president has added twice as much debt than economic output over the past two years.

We need robust Anti-SLAPP protection at both the state and federal level no doubt.
And Pro Se plaintiff Voldermort has managed to unmask people before (most notably Walker/Worthing.)
Although Walker's own admission he probably shouldn't have acted as his own attorney, so hopefully lessons will be learned in this case.

Following up on my own comment for a minute re: Anti-SLAPP.
I actually live in the City in this state that spawned our "better than nothing but still crap" Anti-SLAPP law.
It happened after our Mayor sued a citizen and 2 city council members because they blocked her plan for a new garbage collector (who said citizen had gotten some bad service from and was exercising his 1A rights to tell people about it outside city council meetings, in an appropriate "please take this flyer" fashion.)
It went on for a year or so, cost the lady her Mayorship (IIRC, my facts are bit hazy on this, in any case, there's a different mayor now).
After they defendants finally beat if away MO passed a base level Anti-SLAPP that covers "public meetings" and "comments directed at public office holders."
Still very weak.
(Although a certain mayor in a city a few zips over is about to find out that's just strong enough that he can't go suing his council members.)

Absolutely agree and before the clamps were put on it we had a nioce discussion on the merits.
The thing is we are not in power and the actions are a tool used by the Choom gang so I doubt we'll get reform.

Correct I think the entire "civil rights" caselaw and legislation of the last 45 years has been building to this end.
I also think RICO was a hell of an overreach that has been way politicized.

Yeah won't work here.
This guy represents himself Pro Se in almost every case. It's what allows him to keep doing this.
And it takes entire teams to beat him off.
Sadly Ken White over at Popehat says that keeping up with the Popehat single may be getting to hard for him, which will remove a huge source of help for people caught in these situations.
(If I'm reading Ken's post right, that's my interpretation of one of his older posts. I don't think it'll stop but he's clearly worried some will fall through the cracks.)

There is a reason that lawsuits like this only happen one way - with someone on the left suing someone on the right.
I've never heard of anything like this going the other way, with a right-wing plaintive filing some baseless suit against someone on the left.
People on the left know that any action in response to a lawsuit will be played out in the court, following the rules of law. That's just how the right operates.
Anyone on the right who thought it would be a good idea to bring a suit like this against someone on the left would know he had to deal with the crazy element of the liberal party. There are people out there who would consider some violent act against a conservative is justified if that person is suing his favorite blogger.
Think of it. Some random individual who either lurks or comments on a blog and passionately identifies with the blogger thinks he's doing the blogger a big favor by disposing of the legal system abuser.
This is why people on the right don't do these things. They know a crime like that is unsolvable, so insane liberals are prone to do them.
If only those on the left thought more about how many borderline crazies there are in the world, they would make more of an effort to get along.

I had a nice email chat with Popehat once after I managed to piss off Sen. Claire Bear enough to warrant a personal phone call from her on this issue. (We'll cut to the chase on that, I didn't pick up because it was a DC number and I panicked because it was less than an hour after sending message #2, she left a medium length voicemail with a followup number and then never responded to my follow-up. by the by, AllenG with that blog he doesn't have aided me in my quest to get her attention.)
Anyway, back to the conversation. I think you're half right. Claire Bear seemed at least intrigued by my ramblings, but deferred to the state and in part Popehat concurred (and in part dissented.)
So for a variety of reasons (including federal apathy) we're not getting this at the federal level yet. But we should all be working to get decent SLAPP reform at the state level. Something akin to what either Texas of California has that shuts down discovery until the SLAPP motion is dealt with. (And has painful painful penalties for plaintiffs that loose their SLAPP motion.)

Light comes up to reveal Sphynx naked, tied to a chair in dirty, damp, poorly lit basement with filthy concrete block walls.
U.P.S. Empress for Life Melia Obama has ordered all dissenters against "the good" flogged and tortured until their will is broken, then transported to re-education camps to have their belief system fixed.
Wrinkled and bent with age, Torture Master Al Franken hovers menacingly over the naked figure in the chair. He raises his whip and adds one more lash to the bloody back as Sphynx cries out weakly.
Torture Master: Admit it! Admit you blasphemed The One with your wicked keyboard skills. Years ago. It was years ago, you . . . dissenter!
Sphynx: But Hillary Clinton said . . .
Torture Master: Silence! That name shall not be mentioned! She of the cankles has been erased from the memory of the United Progressive States.
Sphynx: I never meant any bad intent to the President. Just harmless criticism and satire. Please, don't hit me again!
Torture Master: We have the transcripts. It was you who, in 2013, called The One 'Barky OBarkBark.' Don't deny it! The NSA has traced your former IP address and furthermore, identifed the MAC address of a device formerly owned by you.

So it appears they've arrested an LAX employee in connection with those dry ice bombs.
From the LA Times:
Los Angeles International Airport employee has been arrested in connection with dry-ice bomb explosions, law enforcement sources told The Times.
The suspect was identified as 28-year-old Dicarlo Bennett, according to the sources.
Public records show that Bennett lived in South Los Angeles. He was arrested Tuesday in Paramount, the LAPD said.
A Facebook account registered to a Dicarlo Bennett said he studied at Santa Monica College and was a former ramp supervisor for Servisair, an airport contractor... A law enforcement source confirmed that Bennett worked for Servisair.

I had actually forgotten about the Mann Suite TBH.
When I wrote Claire Bear it was in part because of the current proceedings, but also because I saw it happening I my field.
People made perfectly reasonable conclusions drawn from available facts like:
Professor Q recently accepted a position as a de facto lobbyist for a stem cell group.
The journal Professor Q edits (but is not funded by his job) suddenly became obsessed with stem cells (specifically arguing their use is ethical and necessary).
Professor Q may have a conflict of interest and should step down from the editorial position.
That (published in Slate) got threatens of huge lawsuits against both the author and slate.
Slate folded and pulled the article.
This is not the first time Professor Q sued for someone reporting on his various sundry misdeeds.
So here I am regular snarky dude trying to get into the field when the notable people in it are literally engaging in lawfare to shut their opponents up, yeah I got scared.
