Obama recess appointments UNCONSTITUTIONAL
In a case freighted with major constitutional implications, a federal appeals court on Friday overturned President Obama’s controversial recess appointments from last year, ruling he abused his powers and acted when the Senate was not actually in a recess.
The three-judge panel’s ruling is a major blow to Mr. Obama. The judges ruled that the appointments he made to the National Labor Relations Board are illegal, and hence the five-person board did not have a quorum to operate.
But the ruling has even broader constitutional significance, with the judges arguing that the president’s recess appointment powers don’t apply to “intra-session” appointments — those made when Congress has left town for a few days or weeks. They said Mr. Obama erred when he said he could claim the power to determine when he could make appointments.
........
And the court ruled that the only vacancies that the president can use his powers on are ones that arise when the Senate is in one of those end-of-session breaks. That would all but eliminate the list of positions the president could fill with his recess power.
........
“Issues like this — it’s not about protecting the Congress from the president and the president from Congress,” Mr. Francisco said. “The Constitution draws these lines ultimately to limit the government to protect the people.”
Assault Weapons Ban.....
Assault Weapons Ban
Lacks Democratic Votes to Pass Senate
A proposed ban on sales of assault weapons would be defeated in the U.S. Senate today unless some members changed their current views, based on a Bloomberg review of recent lawmaker statements and interviews.
At least six of the 55 senators who caucus with Democrats have recently expressed skepticism or outright opposition to a ban, the review found. That means Democrats wouldn’t have a simple 51-vote majority to pass the measure, let alone the 60 votes needed to break a Republican filibuster to bring it to a floor vote.
A ban on the military-style weapons is among the legislative goals President Barack Obama outlined in his recommendations to Congress on curbing gun violence after the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School slaughter of 20 children in Newtown, Connecticut. Vice President Joe Biden said today it will take “persuasion and information” to garner the necessary support in Congress to enact the White House package.
........
At that event, Feinstein said it’s unclear whether the fight is winnable. “We don’t know, it’s so uphill,” she said. “It depends on the courage of Americans.”
The courage of Americans??? WTF?!?
I Dare Ya!

"For The Safety Of The Children"
Biden called Newtown “a national tragedy and a window into a vulnerability people feel about their safety and the safety of their children.”
With that said....
~ FUCK OBAMA & His IDIOT BIDEN ~
Drones ~ Senseless Killings :(
"The controversial drone strikes by the CIA
are contributing to swelling the ranks of terrorists.
The controversy regarding the drone strikes, their legality and the number of civilians being killed as collateral damage owing to the strikes is intensifying.
US has been tremendously underplaying
the level of civilian casualties."
List of children killed by drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen..... :-(

Salaries ~ What The Fuck??
Was it Jefferson that said when the politicians learn they can vote themselves all this money democracy was gone?
These are the rich for whom we should increase taxes
Salary of retired US Presidents .............$180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,000 FOR LIFE This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .............$223,500 FOR LIFE! This is really stupid
Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ....... $193,400 FOR LIFE! Ditto last line
Average Salary of a teacher ............... $40,065
Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN ....... $38,000
Think about this.
Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year. PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader. That’s $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is not available to US...the taxpayers?
She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year!
I think we found where the cuts should be made!
If you agree ..... pass it on, I just did.

Damn It's Cold.....
Woke up to a very chilly igloo this morning...
It's Minus 41 in the wind chill today.
School is out for the first time, and it's not even snowing.
We never got a snow day this year,
but the English school did, 3 in fact...
Now how is that fare, we live in the same fucking town!!
Thanks for the Pic Angel :-)
Ignorance On A Power Trip
“Gun Safety” ….
~ Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
~ Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
~ Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
(Know your target and what is beyond.)
“Gun Control”
~ Always decry the inherent dangers of a firearm,
while pointing one at your audience.
~ Always keep your finger on the trigger …. it paints
a scarier picture when there’s a gun already pointed at them.
~ Always keep disarmament legislation shelved,
~ Always keep disarmament legislation shelved,
until newsworthy mass-murders make them ready for use.
(Know your audience, and what is beyond their inclination to comprehend.)
