In other Congressional news, Democratic House Judiciary Committee chair John Conyers has announced plans to investigate President Bush’s use of signing statements -- through which he claims a right to ignore or not enforce sections of bills that he signs into law. Conyers says the investigation will focus on around 150 of the signing statements Bush has signed into law. Since taking office the president has issued over 800 signing statements – more than all other presidents combined.
Democracy NOW!
I see the signing statements as acts of aggression against the American people and while others have yelled from hemp built towers about other reasons why Mr. President could find himself in a few little legal pickles after he gets out of office. I think this one maybe what gets him. If they approach going after him like he has broken a legal contract putting him in the shoes of lets say a head of company which by the way government offices are held to that sort of standard by law, just hardly ever taken down that road. They could go after him stating he knowingly 1-signed documents and acts of action which he had no intention of following and 2- that he mislead voters (would be investors or stock holders in a company) by doing these things so under the radar knowing the national news almost never explores these actions on his part. Now me? I say don’t put him in jail. I say just line him up on along a road somewhere in Philadelphia and who ever gets there within lets say a hours time get one chance to get him a good kick in the ass. That’s justice.
South Dakota Lawmakers Re-introduce Abortion Ban
Lawmakers in South Dakota have introduced a new attempt to ban abortion. The “Women’s Health and Human Life Protection Act” would permit abortion only to prevent the death of a woman. Victims of rape or incest would be allowed abortion under several restrictions. They would have to report the rape within fifty days, submit blood samples to law enforcement, obtain records for physicians, and provide the name and address of the alleged rapist. The new measure comes three months after South Dakota voters rejected an abortion ban on the mid-term ballot.
Democracy NOW!
Don’t you love our form of democracy? People stand up, cast their vote, and the political Jesus’ will help us find the error of our ways in letting us know we made the wrong decision. But we still get to vote…for now, and at least until they decide we just can not be trusted to make the right decisions for God, Country, and Good Old American Values.
Early this morning and later in the day from what I have read we got hammered by stormshere in Florida. One of the reasons why I want to get out of this state because some times you just feel like Mother Natures venting area.
And to end with. Insert what ever thoughts make you happy or angry. I just thought it was beautiful in the way most things involving modern technology is not. Found through this daily visit.
