That shows you the conservatives are honorable
You said it.
I hadn’t remembered that...I’m still upset about that poor boy, because his mother died trying to get him safely to America. Now he’s a spokesman for Castro and communism, just exactly as was planned by Reno/Holder/Dems....Castro took him and indoctrinated him specifically as he was a high profile case.
Marc Rich died afterward, but had given up his citizenship previously I believe, so how was Clinton allowed to pardon a non citizen in the first place?
Holder was involved in the Pardon of the FALN terrorists also.

Just more reasons to dislike the man, and want him gone, right.
Well then say goodbye to the Constitution because no one is going to make him leave.
Bob Barr must be an idiot. There was MORE than enough evidence available prior to his appointment and confirmation for any intelligent person to know EXACTLY what Eric Holder is.
That's a pretty low threshold you have, Mr. Barr. Low indeed.
Don't worry, that has been looked into and Holder was cleared of the Criminal Complain after it was sent by Congress. By an employee of Eric Holder.
Barr’s either an idiot or corrupt, or both. I think he’s just corrupt.
At this stage, with the rampant DERELICTION OF DUTY on the part of both Houses of Congress, I would suggest that it’s about time to remove the entire mess in DC and start all over again.
Article V of our Constitution gives us the tools that we need to do exactly that.
While we are at it, let’s have an amendment that prohibits alphabet agencies from making any rule that has the weight of law.
Copy that.
Barr’s an opportunist. He doesn’t run around with his hands in the air, each finger is feeling for a different political breeze to catch.
Holder was a known quantity and should have seen jail-time long before gaining the AG slot.
Great...
Now... How do we enforce it?
Technically, the Constitution already says exactly what you suggest. But, there’s no enforcement. It was supposed to balance internally with abuses corrected at the voting polls or via impeachment from various Offices.
That system is horrifyingly out of whack and using the broken system to fix itself isn’t working.
I’m open to ideas.
Yes, the Constitution does NOT give Congress the power to abdicate its power to make laws, and you are right that it has never been challenged. I want to get it in the Constitution specific wording that they CANNOT delegate their legislative authority.
They take an Oath... Will adding more words to the words they are already ignoring make a difference?
Not trying to be obtuse or argumentitive... I’m genuinely interested in making something like this work.
Looks like the Egyptians figured out how to deal with a government that was pissing all over their constitution. Maybe we need to take a lesson from them?
The problem is that they have ignored it because it is not specifically spelled out. The Constitution ratifiers thought that it would be obvious that they intended for Congress to have sole authority to write laws by not giving them the power to delegate their authority. They were wrong in thinking that Congress would restrain itself without a constant reminder.
