I just wasted 5 minutes I'll never get back watching that video. It's right up there with PETA's Steve Asmussen video for veracity. Like the PETA video, it depends on removing statements from context and assuming the average viewers will be so woefully uninformed about the topic that they'll buy what the video is selling.

Well, as the saying goes, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

"It's the soul that is corrupt. How we get back to a moral rebirth I don't know. Since we are slowly eroding religion at every opportunity that we have. Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth," she told the committee.

Recess Appointments shouldn't be allowed. Is there a list of where he stands vs Other Presidents on using this gimick? Is he abusing it much more than others?

So, of course, the plumbing work yesterday in the East Village was apparently not approved:

A friend of mine lived in one of the buildings. She and her husband are away on vacation, and returning to absolutely nothing. Thank god they're okay, but their cat was in the apartment.

they have to have recess appointments for times when an officer must be replaced and the senate is in recess:

A recess appointment is the appointment, by the President of the United States, of a senior federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess. The United States Constitution requires that the most senior federal officers must be confirmed by the Senate before assuming office, but while the Senate is in recess the President may act alone by making a recess appointment to fill "Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate." To remain in effect, a recess appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress, or the position becomes vacant again; in current practice this means that a recess appointment must be approved by roughly the end of the next calendar year. Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:


who leads the pack?

reagan. 232 vs obama's 32 at the time of this article:

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank...-appointments/


The case being argued at the high court stems from three recess appointments President Obama made in 2012 to the National Labor Relations Board —the kind of action that Republicans were trying to forestall by holding brief pro forma sessions during a long holiday break. When the NLRB ruled against a Washington state company in a labor dispute, the company sued, saying the recess appointments were improper.

When George W. Bush was president, Senate Democrats tried to use the same tactic of holding pro forma sessions in an effort to prevent use of recess appointments. Bush had made several controversial recess appointments, prompting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to schedule pro forma sessions in 2007 to try and head off possible recess appointments during the two-week Thanksgiving break in 2007.


the usual 'how great the sin when the other party commits it' bullshit.

without a permit...brilliant.

wow, check this out:

In their continuing protest and open rebellion against the presidency of Barack Obama, Republicans, who have obstructed the President on a whole slew of items, from legislation that would help to create jobs, to the appointment of heads to run important governmental agencies, to judicial nominees, have demonstrated a ceaseless effort to not only wage a war to block the President in real time, but also to obstruct him retroactively.

In terms of the President’s appointments, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), has starkly disclosed the Republicans’ effectiveness in being able to legislatively cripple this President.


“In the history of the United States, 168 presidential nominees have been filibustered, 82 blocked under President Obama, 86 blocked under all the other presidents"

I didn't read GR's retort link because I'm willing to bet it doesn't address the length of the recess. Which is the crux of this decision.

But **** those unimportant details.

Maybe she'll dig up where past REPUBLICAN presidents took advantage of 4 day recesses to appoint their minions.

Either way it doesn't accomplish anything. Unless to say it doesn't matter. Just keep taking it in the ass because you took it in the ass in the past from the opposing party.

People like her who ARE educated but completely brainwashed and ineffective are the main problem. They've allowed this to happen because they're easily programmed. Hell...she's probably still paying for her 'programming' with multiple diplomas to prove it.

But dude if I put it into Horse Racing terms George W Bush is beating Obama by 138 lengths? I like my POS 3 year old waiting to make his first start at Penn National Maiden Claimer to come within 138 lengths if he was to run in the Derby.

And Oklahoma City legislator also figured out another way to table these kind of bills. Add an amendment requiring the businesses to publicly post a list of the groups of people against whom they intend to "exercise their religious freedom."

Not their fault Dell. They are infected by the Narcissistic assh*le pandemic spread through contact with Social media because they didn't have the genetic antibodies from parents that had a clue. You can bet they all have trophy rooms stock full of participation trophies.

Eh, back in autumn 2002, when I was finally able to bring myself to go down to the site of the WTC for the first time since 9/11, the place was chock full of tourists with cameras. I remember watching a teenager get shouted at by his middle-aged father because he refused to be in a photo in front of the ruins with the rest of his smiling family.

Narcissistic a-holes come in every generation. In that case, it was the patriarch being a jerk, and the millennial kid who had the decency to not want to pose in front of a tragedy.

Thanks for confirming my point that our generation is at fault. Sorry If you arent middle age, I mean no disrespect.
