He said Obama's "czars" were unconstitutional -- and, as I recall, he said it more forcefully than any Republicans!

and a few days later he has a 'fall' in his home.....

The only living Democrat who can even spell the word “Constitution”. I wish him well.

It is sickening that the Senate has lifetime members like some monarchy. The liberal media then fawns over the Dem monarchs after they die. Sick.

Happens quite frequently here in JAX. many times, the fire truck is on station and ready to roll while the EMT’s are enroute from their last call. The other reason is in the event the emergency vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the other can continue the response.

I haven’t seen Byrd ‘stand’ for a long time...so how did he fall while standing up?

He has been disabled for a number of years and like someone mentioned ‘others’ do all his work and bidding...I doubt he know what day of the week it is...

TERM LIMIT a must.....

Few except us old timers remember but BYRD was the reason both TERM LIMITS and the LINE ITEM VETO failed.

Just as they trot out Dukakas to replace the Kennedy vote. Whoops.

Is vote 60 getting elusive again? Won’t matter, they will cram it through with 50 if they have to..

Maroons.

A paramedic friend of mine says that they have extricating equipment on their vehicles and he wonders why firefighters are always called out as well.

Now, you’re askin’ for the moon! Wow, conservatives have such unrealistically high expectations of our Democrat officials. (</s> - just in case...)

I think the firefighters are there to break down the doors in case entrance to the facility proves difficult. Not sure about that, but it sounds good...

I think it has more to do with response time - they can frequently get there more quickly than the ambulance, and with their first aid and CPR training those minutes or seconds can save lives.

He slipped on his hood.

Now ObamaCre can deny him a new hip and put him on pain meds instead.

Yet another benefit of John Mackay’s approach to health care reform.

Maybe there was a burning cross that needed to be put out.

Seriously, though...some departments send a truck in case extra manpower is needed. My Dad drove Engine 3 for the Portland, Maine FD, and he once had to help carry a 400 pound woman down 5 flights of stairs in a Stokes stretcher.

Agree on term limits. The only major flaw the Framers of The Constitution made is no term limits, 6 year terms for Senators - they should be 3 year and failing to be more specific on the requirements for President in the natural born requirement.

See post 137. One of the lowlights of the old man’s career. :-)
