Mitt will never change the business model, and every time he raids a pension fund, the government is on the hook.
Still haven't looked at the tax plans have you? And just who are these lazy people you righties hate so much? How many are there?

Brother, W tried to change the business model for retirement and the country had a conniption fit. Meanwhile, our $2.6 trillion dollar Social Security "trust fund" doesn't exist at all, while Obama has made sure certain union pension funds got taken care of. So, let's talk about raiding pension funds.
Not all companies are worth saving . And I won't be put into a position of supporting Mittens yet.
Except from the ignorant comments of Perry and Newt about his Bain years.
I take the few companies he dismantled and raise you Staples and Home Depot... and the Salt Lake City Olympics.. . and many many others .

For now I'm still on the Santorum bandwagon
Though I called it for Mitt I'm still hopeful for Santorum. But I'd vote for a tree stump before I'd vote for Obama.
So... Obama just trashed and broke the law with unconstitutional appointments made when the house and senate were NOT in recess...
Compared to that... everything else is minor.

The Congress is actually taking the initial steps required to do just that right now. Its not going unchallenged.Quote:

Hello smoothy:
Our beloved Constitution says the president may make recess appointments... The Republican congress IS in recess, but in order to THWART the Constitution, they PRETEND they're IN session by declaring it open and closed within 30 seconds...
That's what's happening...
Now, if you BELIEVE in the Constitution, like you wingers PURPORT to do, then you wouldn't go for the okee doak the Republicans are putting over the country...
However, if you Pick which parts of the Constitution you like, which is what you wingers do, then you can PRETEND along with your congressmen, that they're in session. That's part of the right wing insanity this thread is about.
But, don't think you're fooling anybody.. Certainly, the president isn't fooled, cause he made his Constitutionally required appointments.

It will be reviewed when someone makes a formal complaint, and outrage to the press doesn't count.
Back to Romney, I think its perfectly fair to get facts to go along with all the bombs being thrown so we can see how this free capitalism is working, given the collapse of the economy that the banks and wall street have put us through.
Wonder why his tax return is so unavailable? Lots of questions to be asked. Lots of answers and facts to be considered. And since when is asking questions a matter of ENVY. That's class warfare talk.

Perhaps another job for SCOTUS?

Actually it's a result of special rules the congress enacts to block what they don't like. Sort of like the filibuster rule where instead of actually pontificating to block legislation, they just hand in a declaration to filibuster, that shows intent but no actions, and they go play golf, or move on to lunch. Both sides use it, or have. That's why the prez is challenging this technical BS!
They could have voted MONTHS ago, and done away with the lazy parlor tricks.
Obama's Dept of Justice said yesterday it was perfectly legal. He does it then has his lawyers say it's OK.Quote:

... and it's Congress' Constitutional power to defund the entire Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
BTW ; the Holder Justice Dept . Argued that pro-forma sessions are legitimately session of the Senate and a legitimate procedure to prevent recess apts.
Who in the Justice Dept made the argument ? Yup ;then Solicitor General,and now Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan .

“the Senate may act to foreclose [recess appointments] by declining to recess for more than two or three days at a time over a lengthy period.”
Look ;I've said it before that the recess provision of the Constitution is a provision from the horse and buggy day when it took time to muster all the members of the Senate for a vote.
But the provision is there and pro-forma sessions are legitimate moves that both parties have used to prevent the President's use of recess appointments (Kagan cites the pro-forma sessions held by Reid in 2007 when Bush was President).
I already gave the remedy of defunding the agency... But,I'd love to see SCOTUS review the case . I wonder if the left would be upset if Kagan recused herself from that case ?
Yeah.. they issued that opinion TWO DAYS AFTER Obama did it.Quote:

Besides Eric Holder isn't the final word, and he's as corrupt as Hugo Chavez is.
The constitution doesn't give Obama unlimited power... in fact it REQUIRES the Congress to be in actual recess before nObama could make a recess appointment... and it wasn't.Quote:
