Sorry to hear about your job. Hopefully you can find something else quickly. I am not a smoker, but I do support someones freedom to smoke if they choose to in private settings. I also do not support taxing items more, under the guise of protecting the "innocent".
A line item veto is a band-aid...
Where did you hear that? At this point DOJ is refusing to prosecute. But there is also Civil contempt, which congress can do without DOJ. My guess is that they will be given a small amount of time to reconsider and then it will move on to Civil court.
It was never very likely that the DOJ...
To me the problem with the whole thing has nothing to do with illegals. It has everything to do with Obama deciding he can do whatever he wants. We are supposed to have checks and balances. Changes to laws are supposed to go through certain processes. If you don't like a law, work to change it...
It is my understanding that the response you got from S&W is pretty standard. I wanted to add safeties to my M&P. Did some searching and decided that it was not that big of a deal to me. Not worth the effort to make it happen. I would be interested if you find a way to make it happen though.
No matter what this is a win for Obama. If this sticks, which I don't see how it can, he wins the votes. If it goes down, he still wins the votes, because he tried and the mean old Republicans want to throw babies over the border fence. Plus this takes attention off of the other screw ups he has...
I too would be ok with providing a legal way for people to become citizens as long as they meet the requirements. I do have a problem though of just saying we are not going to go after them and ignore the laws in place. Don't like the law change it. Oh wait that is to hard for the current...
That is good news. Since the local residents don't seem to have a problem with it, it should go through. Unless some city counsel members decide to play activist. I would think1 million for development will be hard to turn down. Even for an activist
Looks like the Senate does not need to be involved. I am not a lawyer, but Wikipedia seems to think that it can stay in whatever chamber it concerns. So if the House holds him in contempt then the Sargeant-At-Arms would arrest the person and bring them to the floor.
Anyone have an idea on how...
There is another Senate hearing tomorrow. This might just have been to add some extra pressure to DOJ. I am not so sure that this is not just a play to make everyone look good. Republican leadership can say that they pushed hard to get everything about Fast and Furious. Holder and Obama Admin...
The F&F hearing are really the first that I have ever followed. But if hearings are similar about other things, it makes it so much easier to understand why nothing ever gets done. There should be four people who ask questions. Two from each party. They get equal time and if you interrupt the...
I don't understand the format of hearings like this. There are way to many topics being covered and not enough time given to ask and answer questions about each topic. I understand it is not a trial, but come on people pick a topic and stick to it. If it is not related to what is being discussed...
