Mammon be yur god.” 11:36:38 AM 3/04/10 “I was about to say that we really need another thread like this. The other 50 you made this week just weren't sufficient, sarge. I can't help but wonder where you find all the time to read all these great books, have deep discussions with constitutional scholars, hike/backpack (and no, that doesn't include the walk from your car to the complimentary rascal scooters at Wal Mart) or make an actual difference in your community with all the time you spend on here, railing against people you don't agree with. Then again, you've already made it clear how much of a better person you are than all of us, so maybe sharing your unending wisdom with us poor unenlightened sheep is your contribution to society, in which case kudos!” 12:51:13 PM 3/04/10 “and yet ... here you are giving me the time of day.” 12:52:52 PM 3/04/10 “Thanks for the thread, HPD. It's will be usefull for odd bits.” 12:53:17 PM 3/04/10 “HPD...just thinking back...if the Libbies had elected MCShame with this liberal congress I bet they would have gotten more stuff passed....” 12:55:01 PM 3/04/10 “Stovie, yeah, you can see who supports the "ONE" blindly even though he's wastefully spending, just by their personal attacks. They don't want to talk about Obamma, their leader because they know what he's doing to America.” 12:58:54 PM 3/04/10 “HPD you are quite correct. I mean there is NOTHING that this man has said that you can make book on. He has lied, he as abused and ignored the US Constitution, he acts like he is Dictator of UGABUGALAND or something. Christ, did you see how the Europeans nailed him during the Climate Conference? They called him and Meshell everything from arrogant to jack@sses.” 1:04:27 PM 3/04/10 “How erudite. Given your endless sophmoric thread titles and pathetic attempts and getting attention, I'd say that you're like the 4th grader who's 16 after being held back because he just can't seem to grasp simple concepts. You throw out the chum and hope someone engages you in some ham-fisted discussion so you can go home and feel like you really showed those tools on TT who was boss. You've contributed nothing of value except given me an oppotunity to point out your numerous character faults. Dude, you're one inch high.” 1:04:54 PM 3/04/10 See? It is already usefull “Kerry: Let Gay Men Give Blood 1983 Ban Called Outdated, Discriminatory Gay men should be allowed to donate blood and laws banning them from doing so are discriminatory and outdated, according to Sen. John Kerry and several of his Senate colleagues. "Not a single piece of scientific evidence supports the ban,” Kerry said. “A law that was once considered medically justified is today simply outdated and needs to end." Kerry was one of 18 U.S. Senators -- 17 Democrats and one independent -- who in a letter on Thursday asked the Food and Drug Administration to lift the ban on gay men donating blood. The ban was put in place in 1983, at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis and before modern screening and advanced testing methods for HIV were developed http://www.thebostonchannel.com/health/22740841/detail.html?hpt=T2” 1:06:03 PM 3/04/10 fark “When Al Sharpton is convening a meeting to determine whether you are too big of an embarassment to continue in the public spotlight, it really is time to resign http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=10005783” 1:14:56 PM 3/04/10 “Rosey glad to see you could take time out from your crusade to bring cell phones to the third world.

The many do the work. The wage earners and farmers are compelled to give a large part of the product of their labor to the few. The many in the factories, mines, shops, offices, and on the farms obtain but a scanty income and are able to buy back only a part of the goods that can be produced in such abundance by our mass industries... 2. The Socialist Party believes that workers are exploited by a capitalist economy. -The Socialist Party is to-day the one democratic party of the workers whose program would remove the causes of class struggles, class antagonisms, and social evils inherent in the capitalist system. It proposes to transfer the principal industries of the country from private ownership...to social ownership and democratic control. 3. Socialist Party's propositions to benefit workers. ...The 6-hour day and the 5-day week without a reduction of wages... ...Health and maternity insurance. ...Improved systems of workmen's compensation and accident insurance. ...Adequate minimum wage laws... ...the rights of workers to organize into unions... Main Points (continued) 4. Socialist Party's propositions to benefit the unemployed. ...A compulsory system of unemployment compensation with adequate benefits, based on contributions by the Government and by employers. ...Old-age pensions for men and women 60 years of age and over. 5. Socialist Party's propositions that benefit the rural community. ...Government aid to farmers and small-home owners to protect them against mortgage foreclosures and a moratorium on sales for nonpayment of taxes by destitute farmers and unemployed workers. ...Increased Federal and State subsidies to road building and educational and social services for rural communities... The socialists haven’t even needed to be in power to have most of their platform realized. The states that had the most votes for the socialists in 1932: New York- 177,397 Pennsylvania- 91,223 Illinois- 67,258 Ohio- 64,094 California- 63,299 Wisconsin- 53,379 New Jersey- 42,988 Gee, those look exactly like a list of "blue" states today. Obviously California has undergone quite the socialist population explosion since then.” 1:31:58 PM 3/04/10 “XL, why would you fight an opportunity to get cell phones in Disgusta?” 1:44:37 PM 3/04/10 “You know RIGHT now we can look at Greece and see how America would be in 10 years under a socialist government.” 1:51:59 PM 3/04/10 “ ![]() werd....” 1:53:37 PM 3/04/10 “Yeah but certain New YOKKERS (and you know who you are) love that man for all his corruption.” 1:55:28 PM 3/04/10 “Hey d00d, did you see Jon Steward's show on Rangle? I just about wet my pants. LOL” 1:56:00 PM 3/04/10 the beat goes on “Obama Now Selling Judgeships for Health Care Votes? Obama names brother of undecided House Dem to Appeals Court. BY John McCormack March 3, 2010 6:15 PM Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he's obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson's brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. “Scott Matheson is a distinguished candidate for the Tenth Circuit court,” President Obama said. “Both his legal and academic credentials are impressive and his commitment to judicial integrity is unwavering. I am honored to nominate this lifelong Utahn to the federal bench.” Scott M. Matheson, Jr.: Nominee for the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit Scott M. Matheson currently holds the Hugh B. Brown Presidential Endowed Chair at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1985. He served as Dean of the Law School from 1998 to 2006. He also taught First Amendment Law at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government from 1989 to 1990. While on public service leave from the University of Utah from 1993 to 1997, Matheson served as United States Attorney for the District of Utah. In 2007, he was appointed by Governor Jon Huntsman to chair the Utah Mine Safety Commission. He also worked as a Deputy County Attorney for Salt Lake County from 1988 to 1989. Prior to joining the University faculty, Matheson was an associate attorney from 1981 to 1985 at Williams & Connolly LLP in Washington, D.C. Matheson was born and raised in Utah and is a sixth generation Utahn. He received an A.B. from Stanford University in 1975, an M.A. from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1980. So, Scott Matheson appears to have the credentials to be a judge, but was his nomination used to buy off his brother's vote?” 1:56:41 PM 3/04/10 “rosey, I'm a conductor conducting an orchestra, and you're the triangle. ding!” 2:00:21 PM 3/04/10 2:01:55 PM 3/04/10 “ ”2:02:28 PM 3/04/10 “Stovie gets his news from comedy shows. *snicker*” 2:08:56 PM 3/04/10 “I get my comedy from rosey.

A System of Checks and Balances...NOT So, the President of the United States is warning those UNELECTED Supreme Court Justices about overturning the Health Care Law....WTF? What part (oh, ALL THE PARTS, got it..) of the system of checks and balances in this country does the Prez not understand? And this from a purported Constitutional Law Professor no less... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/02/obama-confident-supreme-court-will-uphold-health-care-law/ Well here it is O, here it is: United States Main article: Separation of powers under the United States Constitution In the United States Constitution, Article 1 Section I gives Congress only those "legislative powers herein granted" and proceeds to list those permissible actions in Article I Section 8, while Section 9 lists actions that are prohibited for Congress. The vesting clause in Article II places no limits on the Executive branch, simply stating that, "The Executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."[6] The Supreme Court holds "The judicial Power" according to Article III, and it established the implication of Judicial review in Marbury vs Madison.[7] The federal government refers to the branches as "branches of government", while some systems use "government" to describe the executive. The Executive branch has attempted to claim power arguing for separation of powers to include being the Commander in Chief of a standing army since the Civil war, executive orders, emergency powers and security classifications since WWII, national security, signing statements, and the scope of the unitary executive. Checks and balances To prevent one branch from becoming supreme, protect the "opulent minority" from the majority, and to induce the branches to cooperate, government systems that employ a separation of powers need a way to balance each of the branches. Typically this was accomplished through a system of "checks and balances", the origin of which, like separation of powers itself, is specifically credited to Montesquieu. Checks and balances allow for a system based regulation that allows one branch to limit another, such as the power of Congress to alter the composition and jurisdiction of the federal courts. Legislative (Congress) Passes bills; has broad taxing and spending power; controls the federal budget; has power to borrow money on the credit of the United States (may be vetoed by President, but vetoes may be overridden with a two-thirds vote of both houses) Has sole power to declare war. Oversees, investigates, and makes the rules for the government and its officers. Defines by law the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary in cases not specified by the Constitution Ratification of treaties signed by the President and gives advice and consent to presidential appointments to the federal judiciary, federal executive departments, and other posts (Senate only) Has sole power of impeachment (House of Representatives) and trial of impeachments (Senate); can remove federal executive and judicial officers from office for high crimes and misdemeanors Executive (President) Is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces Executes the instructions of Congress. May veto bills passed by Congress (but the veto may be overridden by a two-thirds majority of both houses) Executes the spending authorized by Congress. Declares states of emergency and publishes regulations and executive orders. Makes executive agreements (does not require ratification) and signs treaties (ratification requiring by two-thirds of the Senate) Makes appointments to the federal judiciary, federal executive departments, and other posts with the advice and consent of the Senate. Has power to make temporary appointment during the recess of the Senate Has the power to grant "reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment." Judicial (Supreme Court) Determines which laws Congress intended to apply to any given case Exercises judicial review, reviewing the constitutionality of laws Determines how Congress meant the law to apply to disputes Determines how a law acts to determine the disposition of prisoners Determines how a law acts to compel testimony and the production of evidence Determines how laws should be interpreted to assure uniform policies in a top-down fashion via the appeals process, but gives discretion in individual cases to low-level judges. The amount of discretion depends upon the standard of review, determined by the type of case in question.” 6:32:50 AM 4/03/12 “If the focus was Rowe v Wade, the opinions may change a bit.
