Sure is:

Q: Your views on gun control?

A: My views are pretty much in line with the governor's. I grew up under some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don't enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It's not the law-abiding citizens, it's not the person who uses it as a hobby.

Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?

A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law.

Why is it that if a Republican commits a felony of any type, the media refer to the event as a "criminal act," "terrible threat," or "dangerous."

BUT!!!!!!!

When the democrats commit MULTIPLE felonies, the language is massaged and watered down. Good example: "Tax troubles," "erroneous behavior," etc... Also note that the (D) is notably absent whenever the democrat felon is mentioned by name, however, the (R) is always present when it's a Republican politician.

George Orwell was right about society's future. It is the communists in the media that are trying to slant our perceptions with their bullsh!t bias.

That's why I am really worried about the future of our Nation.

We have such dangerous scum in our own ranks.

What does not vote mean? Martinez didn’t vote?

He might have been "paired" with Begich, if both had to be out of town or otherwise could not be present, canceling each other out. Kennedy, well he's been denying Massachusetts its equal representation in the Senate for some time now, by not being there, or at least not voting.

Of course everyone knows you can be mean as a snake. As befits a True Texian Lady. Mean when you need to be, sweet when when you don't. :)

A Call for a few Good Men & Women to Unite for Our Country

To find standing the Court need look no further than the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States, “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union… do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.” Thus, “we the people,” individually, are established as one party among many to a contract binding upon the executors of this contract, our Constitution.

Who then are the executors of this contract with the people?

“We the people” in this cause assert that anyone and everyone who takes Oath to be bound by our Constitution becomes a party to this agreement.

Foremost among the parties counterbalanced upon this executory contract is the President of the United States, the Chief Executive or Executor of the Constitutional Contract.

When is the President bound to this contract, our Constitution? “We the People” contend that he is bound immediately, upon the taking of the Oath. In the instant case, Barack Hussein Obama became bound to our Constitutional Contract on January 20, 2009.

As in the cause of Marbury v. Madison 5 U.S. (1 Crunch) 137, 2 L.Ed. 60 (1803), “We the People” seek fullfillment of our executory contract, our Constitution, by way of a Writ of Mandamus upon the executor by oath of said contract, the President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama.

As succinctly stated by Chief Justice Marshall in Marbury, “If a persons duty is backed by law and not by political in nature, then he becomes subject of the law and is examinable by the court.”

Thus, Barack Hussein Obama, having bound himself contractually by law to our Constitutional Contract is subject to the jurisdiction of the law, in this case the original jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court.

It is stated in United States v. Butterworth, 18 S. Ct. 441, 169 U.S. 600 at 602 (1898),

The office of a writ of mandamus is to compel the performance of a duty resting upon the person to whom the writ is sent. That duty may have originated in one way or in another. It may, as alleged in the present case, have arisen from the acceptance of an office which has imposed the duty upon its incumbent. But no matter out of what fact or relations the duty has grown, what the law requires, and what it seeks to enforce by a writ of mandamus, is the personal obligation of the individual to whom it addresses the writ.”

Following much good faith research regarding the issue of original jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the United States, “We the People” have found no cases in the history of jurisprudence of the United States of America wherein a Defendant disputed the Constitutional fact that the Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction over “all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls” as plainly stated in the Constitution of the United States, Article III, Section 2.

That being the case, “We the People” respectfully request that the Barack Hussein Obama stipulate to the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction over all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; or, in the alternative, that Barack Hussein Obama show good cause why the Supreme Court of the United States shall not have original jurisdiction over our cause.

My two, Martinez and Bill Nelson, both voted for him. So much for calling & e-mail. I had reminded them about Holder's involvement with the Elian Gonzalez affair. I would have thought Martinez would have voted “no” for that if nothing else.

“Strawberries.”

That was from Herman Wouk’s “The Caine Mutiny.” Captain Queeg played by Humphrey Bogart, flipped out over the quart of strawberries he wanted for himself for a snack (but another member of the crew ate ‘em) and had ordered a full-scale investigation into their “disappearance.”

I hear you. Called both GA Sen offices with my feelings. Got, “He hasn’t expressed an opinion.” from both at about 12 yesterday. Yeah, right. Told her that answer is no longer acceptable.

Martinez probably didn’t dare to vote. That is, I’m sure he wanted to vote yes, but the Cubans in his district - remembering Elian Gonzalez - would have had his scalp.
