Take away their cynicism, their opportunism, and their contempt for a Constitution designed to thwart their dictatorial designs (ah, if only we could be like China, right, Obama? Right, Tom Friedman? Right, Andy Stern?), all that would remain of the progressive ruling class is a pile of fat wallets and a floor full of power suits. And likely a few hairpieces.
That certain Bushies — whose boss had his own appointments thwarted by the same procedure the Senate was now using to block Obama’s appointments — have come out and suggested that Obama is within his constitutional rights to circumvent advice and consent, suggests either that they don’t understand the Constitution, or that they, too, can look ahead and see the kinds of possibilities such a power grab would mean once a Republican president took office.
Either way, bold!
They’d still have their Will to Power. That’s no small thing.
National Soros Radio gave Mr. Bush a much harder time for a whole lot less, I remember
Comment from one of the Yahoo stories was illustrative of why he’s doing this. Libtard says “Yes, finally Obama is doing something. FUCK THE CONSTITUTION.”
I kid you not.
Pelosi an Reid = Evil dee and Evil dum.
That is all!
I kid you not.
That’s what comes of making it all a sporting event. “Screw you guys! Our team is winning!” Try to point out that they’re cheating, and they just call you a sore loser and a Monday-morning referee.
Seriously, that’s as deep as most of their thinking goes. They’re called “useful idiots” for a reason.

So this is example number which again in the series if you’re not seriously thinking about a third party, you’re just not serious about the problem?
This is a good indicator of how energetic the pardon bidding will become without the governor of shame or accountability.
Maybe some enterprising soul can start a deadpool-style betting pool?
I call Holder and every dirtbag at Gitmo.
The moment the NLRB or CFPB issues any new regulations, rules on anything, a lawsuit should be filed challenging the validity thereof due to the fact that _______ is not constitutionally a member of the board in question.
Every such event should trigger a new, separate lawsuit, with a different plaintiff, preferrably submitted to a different US District Court based on the residence of the plaintiff. If that court says it is the wrong venue due to a law assigning jurisdiction to the DC court, point out that the law only applies to acts of the board, and since _____ is not actually a member, it’s not an act of the board, then refile in DC.
Make DoJ defend this every time either of these boards so much as authorizes purchase of office supplies and toilet paper. Force this to the Supremes. Because if this is allowed to stand, any POTUS can make a “recess appointment” pretty much any night or weekend. And that is the end of “advice and consent of the Senate”.
The Constitution? Good Grief! That was written like 100 years ago by a bunch of dead white guys who probably listened to tunes on 8-track players or sumthin’. Back when cell phones didn’t even have touch screens! Surely you don’t expect a right-thinking person to pay any attention to that?
It makes me sick.
The movie Tinker Tailor Solider Spy made me think. That was based on a true story. The Soviets recruited moles in universities and used them to break into the highest levels of British and American intelligence agencies. Which is why a politician’s college transcripts and records are relevant to them running for higher office. While we don’t have a legal right to force them to turn them over, we certainly have a right as voters to demand they do so and reject their candidacy if they do not…
