Taking after Bman and just posting stuff that everybody who has read a basic article about this story knows? hehe The greater point of the confirmation process is that it is insane at this point. There is absolutely no reason the senate should have to confirm over 500 positions....and regardless of the party in the WH they should be more deferential and just look a qualification, not put stupid holds on nominees for unrelated reasons, and on and on...I mean at any given point there are countless positions in the government some of which are actually important that have no acting official...if that doesn't show how the entire process is broken (broken by both parties obviously) then idk what does....

As I've said, intrasession recess appointments have happened a bunch. Thus, it is surprising to most people that the opinion says they cannot happen ever, and even intersession recess appointments can only be made when the vacancy arises during that recess. In other words, this is a very surprising ruling. Bman somehow does not understand that this does in fact prevent what many presidents have been doing for a long time, and just pastes articles highlighting what the decision is...which is not something anybody is confused about and thus makes it seem as though he's retarded.

lol Bman you really are stupid. I don't think you understand the posts I've made.

If you aren't safe from a horde of pillagers coming over the hill you aren't free to farm! Never mind that anarchy leads to dictatorship. But since we're talking philosophical government with Takser first let me say DEFINE FREEDOM!!! DEFINE RIGHTS!!! DEFINE WORDS!!! ...and before you freak Tasker...yes....I'm being...well...you get me b/c we're friends

While the idea of a 3rd term is insane, 3rds genera point is correct. He got his second term...cover him forever? It's over...obviously he'll want to remain effective but in political terms...games over. President for 8 years in the bag....you hardy need more cover lover him or hate him

I would just break a pool stick in half and throw it between the candidates and tell them to make it quick

I have read, try reading my posts as this post does nothing to respond to them in any way

A ton of intrasession recess apportionments have happened. Now the court says they shouldn't have. Dating back decades (and even over a century) ..they're all bad now b/c of an appeals court in 1 district.

It's a fair enough decision although it is as Carney suggests quite a surprising one considering intra session recess appointments have happened hundreds of times in the last 100 years and more of our nations history has passed where they happen than when they do not. The court basically said "well, we know they've been going on since the mid-1800s and we know a ton of them have gone on in the 20th century, but they didn't happen for the first 70 or so years so we think that settles the question." Not really a huge deal in the end but it is hilarious the way B-Man thinks this is so "embarrassing" to the administration that the use of executive power in a way that has been recognized for over 150 years and common place for almost a century was suddenly declared unconstitutional.

Not that I disagree that he is bad...but who cares about Relph's money. It's cap space that's important.

lol the AP is biased b/c they cover stories about the President? You click on a WH story and other links on the page are related to WH stories? what are you talking about?

The media the media! lol...get over it ya bunch of cooks....you've all been brainwashed too far in the direction of an overcorrection it's pathetic at this point....on balance "the media" probably a little to the left but get over yourselves thinking every story is lied about by every outlet to make Obama look good and the GOP bad it's as if you don't actually consume any media at all. And like Bird said, O'Reilly, Rush...they all were of the same opinion on this story anyway... The conservative "war on all media (except conservative media)" is the most retarded of all things going ... and that's saying something.....it literally just means "don't listen, trust, or even consider anything outside the bubble"

If the Bills don't find him intriguing, he very well may not make the first round. Sounds about right

By all estimates though, he has a very average arm PLUS an injury to it and he can't run which is all the rage these days (and for good reason)....bleh...still better than fitz though

Personally I want me one dem der running QBs ^^and a strong arm^^

When I watched him, which I didn't often, it seemed like he sort of ripped the ball with reckless abandon into spots he wanted his WRs to be but they weren't. You could view this as him being frustrated with the level of execution around him, or you could view this as him being terrible. Lots of balls seemed to go into the ground and or nowhere...sometimes to the other team.

Rob basically addresses this for me. You can call it a slippery slope but it's really just not trusting the other person, or even thinking the other person is a liar.

So when someone says "I think X is a more harm than good scenario, but things not X are fine and appropriate for home defense and other purposes" your opposition is not that you think X is not a more harm than good scenario, but just that you don't trust the person at all?

hehe, maybe an attempt but lets not put good old Ed on Rush's level...it's an issue of prominence. There really is no group of prominent liberal commentators that can sway the base enough to directly influence the pols....that's sort of the main difference in terms of comparing the "bee hive kick" effect and the level of thrust it has...

You French-Canadians are so sophisticated and polite you are better equipped with some red wine for unexpected visitors bearing fudge and cheese, no?

Not that I care to get in a gun debate, but very few people think there is anything wrong with a gun for home defense.

I don't think there's an equivalent amount of manipulative bee hive kicking, but to say "well, the Dems aren't as bad as the Repubs"...that isn't saying much...c'mon now...hehe...maybe someone like Bill Maher or basically the comedians...a few of the race people are about as close as you get but yes you are right they are not taken nearly as seriously ...

Bee hive kicking goes on in the Dem party as well...while it doesn't strangle the entire party (at times) it's still there. That said, some top party leaders may not like it at certain times, but it keeps a lot of incumbents in their spots...

Oh course...the victimization of anti-government people is never ending. As it is for their leftist counterparts. Rush channeling his inner LABillz..seemingly outraged upon finding out what he already secretly knew...that most people in government on either side respect Hillary. Shouldn't be possible since he doesn't...so it's understandable his ranting. And of course, it's Rush, so who knows what he cares about anyway he's playing a character and just kicking a bee hive and making money.

LABillz just projects whatever anger he has at Obama, builds very negative image of him of which some is probably based in reality however most is not, then rages about everything in the world while channeling that rage through him personally. This image and attitude towards him in his view, is of course, the only possible truth and it's absolute fact and anyone not sharing in it is just plain stupid and/or a terrible American. In other words, LABillz is a conservative nut job no different from Bush nut jobs just wearing a different jersey. This is why we all love LABillz at PPP.
