It’s already stated in our constitution that only legislators, duly elected by the people, may write law. There’s no exception for these damn bureaucrats. Bureaucrats writing law is one of the signature features of a dictatorship - the soviets in the former USSR and the functionairies in fascist Germany, being two recent examples.
And you’re right, it will take years to build support, but the process can be quickened by challenging these bureaucrat dictators in court by refusing to follow any decrees or dictates issued by these Marxist bureaucracies. There is simply no constitutional basis allowing an unelected lackey hired by the government to write law.
People need a basic civic lesson that only elected representatives may write law.
Sounds like an admission of incompotence to me.
Schmuckie’s latest hand-wringing over the Alito appointment leads me to think there’s another SCOTUS retirement in the works.
He and his henchmen in the senate make me sick.
Why Schumer hasn’t been tried for Treason yet is beyond me...
I would love to see Janice Rogers Brown on SCOTUS.
In 1993 and 1994, respectively, Orrin G. Hatch, senior “Republican” at the time on the Senate Judiciary Committee, cosponsored his friend “Bill” Clinton’s nominations of Ruth Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. Is Orrin still waiting for the Dems to thank him for his “broad-mindedness”?
There are no term limits in the U.S. Senate because the people don’t want term limits. That wanted Byrd, Rockefeller, Thurmond, EMK, Stevens, Bentsen, and some of the other long-termers.
That's why we need term limits.
Do you believe in term limits for Congress?
Despite a recent House vote against it, talk radio is still being threatened by the resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine. With the near evisceration of McCain - Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act by the Supreme Court and the failure of the comprehensive "Shamnesty" in the Senate, the neoCOMs will be pushing harder for the Fairness Doctrine. Call talk radio. Use that as an opening to push for a Constitutional Amendment to give Congress term limits.
That might be the smartest post I’ve read yet. Care to speculate who will step down? Ginsburg? John Paul Stevens?
I don't think "We the people" want the "career politicians" currently in office. I think there should be term limits for one simple reason. Make those politicians that make the laws have to live under the laws they passed while in office, and pay for all their retirement and health care as we do. If you wanted social security or any other retirement system to work, put those @holes in DC under the same system. They would fix it in one session.
I regret that your DSCC staffers Katie Barge and Lauren Weiner haven't directly linked you to the identity theft of Lt. Gov. Michael Steele -- yet.
Your answer lies within your question. Hillary can't win in '08 unless they fool their nutroots. They can't afford to have one single Kossack sit on their hands (their usual posture).
Schumer is right he is a failure as senator but not for what he thinks! He is an obstructionist, he is fighting his war within instead of fighting the very creatures that will kill Americans as well as jews! Thats the real fight senator!
the only reasons that the opposition party can use to disqualify a scotus nominee are intellectual unfitness, immorality, and law breaking.
schumer is wrong.
I’m not sure what you are asking me for. This is a very broad subject.
Gosh, thanks... but it’s due to Schmuckie-watching, not smarts, perhaps! :)
Stevens might be the best bet, if we’re guessing. Schmuckie is a first-class jerk, but he’s not stupid. He doesn’t do or say anything without a slimey ulterior motive. The scenario I posted just makes the most sense to me. Why would he be setting the stage for a SCOTUS appointment fight if he didn’t have some inside knowledge?
Schumer is a dangerous man. IIRC, someone posted that he takes orders from Soros. That’s probably true too.
Drink Draino Chuck you worthless turd.
