Outgoing Venezuelan legislature names 34 new judges
Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela's ruling socialist party used the final days of its legislative majority to name 34 new judges Wednesday to the country's highest court, drawing outrage from the opposition.
In an 11th-hour ceremony boycotted by the opposition, National Assembly speaker Diosdado Cabello swore in 13 judges and 21 substitute judges to the Supreme Court of Justice, after the ruling party voted them through in an extraordinary session.
Once the court is packed with the hard right wing, everything the CPUSA has achieved since 1918 can be undone.
We can disenfranchise the parasites on welfare, end homosexual marriage and gays in the military, deport all illegal aliens and reverse the demographic warfare that has resulted in a path to white minority status, prosecute and incarcerate the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the current Administration for high crimes and misdemeanors, bitch slap the leftist press, and set things up so that it's impossible for the left wing to ever win another national election ever again.
This is all possible and Constitutional.
Don't you mean tbe NSC (National Security Council)?
Better yet, they should nut up and explain how they will deal with those of us who continue to resist and demand constitutional government.
After all, the numbers will inevitably grow and they can’t allow that.
Not nothing. Nothing from enough Cruz supporters may mean we get Hillary. I did this when Romney was offered. I deeply regret it now.
We must vote united against Hillary or there will be no country left.
I will vote for whomever can defeat Hillary this time. It is the only choice to save this country. Hillary has stated she will shut down the NRA and after that there is no doubt she plans to round up our guns a la Australia style.
Please reconsider. We must not get Hillary and bookies all over the world are predicting her win now.
I’m not selling my principles out for a progressive and I don’t accept responsibility for a choice between 2 progressives. (Trump/Clinton)
There is no debate about it.
My husband and I also spoke of this the other evening.
We had a wonderful life in a great country, and now when it seems lost, at least we are glad for what we had.
I like reading Greenfield, but even he couldn’t resist tossing a Turd into the Punchbowl.
>>>”The support for Trump without regard to his qualifications, statements, integrity, credibility, knowledge, consistency, etc is the end result of this state of affairs. The claims that Trump is a Republican Obama are not completely wrong”<<<
Trump may be many things, but an America hating Empty Suit isn’t one of them. BTW - I’m a Cruz guy with Trump second.
Trump is not going to win. Hillary is probably going to win. The split here between Cruz and Trump supporters will seal it.
There are more liberals in this country now than conservatives.
If we don’t unite, and even if we do we may have no chance, but without it we are lost.
Yeah. I agree with you. Trump is by no means an empty suit. In fact he probably fills out his clothing better than most people and certainly better than any politician.
I heard Trump lost 15 Pounds since he started Campaigning.
Heck, he is seven years older than me and I only have as much energy as Jeb(!) or Hillary (->).
Trump must be keeping his Tailor as busy as his Pilots.
No, my fault. I put a link to how I used ‘conceit’ above.
As it is it kinda reads like a Monty Python parody of academia-ese LOL!
Same here.
There is no debate about it.
In your mind anyway. There are enough of us who have lived long enough to know that principle as you understand it is not applicable in the general election. If Obama himself doesn’t convince you I am not going to try either. I am sure we could argue the point till the cows come home and longer, but Obama stands out like a bad dream as does Billy Bob Clinton. The only lessons you might be teaching fall on those of us who suffer under bad leadership unlike the folks in Congress who go merrily on their way deliriously happy at those who just can’t bring themselves to vote in the general for the only candidate that can insure that the worst candidate doesn’t get into office.
Keep talking, I’ve been hearing the same BS here at FR for some 13 years.
Maybe you’ll get through to me. LOL
Nope, I mean the CFR. Do your research.
Mrs Clinton is not the worst thing that can happen. The scenario you present is the only line in the sand that most Americans will not allow to be crossed, we argue and fret over all other possible ones to the point that we do nothing.
The people who wish for the destruction of this country were very shrewd in pushing our current President over her, because they knew that the woman or womyn voting block was not monolithic enough to ignore her politics should it be judged necessary to remove her through any means whatsoever (the gamut running from Johnson to Nixson to Kennedy). As it is, he has done more damage to our rule of law, infrastructure, military, industry... than any deposed president ever dreamed of, but the merest peep against him threatens to divide the nation on grounds other than ideology.
We have been paralyzed by the fear of the destruction that would ensue by either choosing to allow him to push his agenda, or choosing to stop it - a much worse outcome than the “Stop Hillary Express” or “Operation Chaos” folks contemplated. For my additional two cents worth, lawfully removing him at this point is probably less destruction than allowing him to remain, if it is not too late.
Romney would have merely moved (and assisted) the start date of an inevitable conflict to the next generation, which would be less likely to succeed than ours, if it even noticed something was wrong.
Shocked as I have been in some ways at the rapidity of change in the last seven years, I still stand behind my not voting for him. Doing so would have been kicking the can down the road to my children, while allowing their every chance of defense to be destroyed along the way.
Principle is always applicable.
If some party sees we mean that, we may have a chance. If not, we never will.
Instead, we will allow, indeed be a part of, the steady dissolution of our rights and ability to defend them, to the point that we will not be able to do so.
Look where allowing the enemy to grow in numbers, finances, weaponry, and propaganda has gotten us with ISIS. Why do that with “progressives” when the sooner the issue is forced, the better our position is likely to be?
Well, aren’t you special.
13 years here and betraying my principles one more time won’t change a thing.
Its Cruz or nuthin for me.
