What difference will it make if the Republicans win the Senate and hold the House in November? The House can already block Democratic legislation Republicans do not like, and President Obama would still be able to veto Republican legislation he does not like. The Republicans are talking of a positive, problem-solving agenda. That seems to mean passing some constructive bills President Obama could sign, thereby signaling that Washington can get things done, and some others the president would veto, thereby signaling even better days ahead following a GOP presidential victory in 2016.
Such a strategy would hold serious potential. Divided government can be both partisan and productive—as in the second Clinton administration, which brought both an impeachment trial and balanced budgets (and, for the Republicans, the prelude to control of the White House and both chambers of Congress after the 2000 elections).
A Republican Congress facing a Democratic president could, in addition, do something of transcendent importance, something that would furnish a stately frame to its policy initiatives. It could reverse Congress's institutional decline and begin to restore the elected legislature to its vital position in our constitutional balance of power.
If the Republicans were to attempt this, it would be an edifying spectacle for all concerned. We are familiar with the Celebratory Constitution—Independence Day orators extolling the wisdom of Founders and Framers, Tea Party activists parading in colonial garb. And we are familiar with the Judicial Constitution—aggrieved persons demanding their rights, lawyers exchanging dialectics, judges parsing the Framers' phrases and discerning their intent. But the path suggested here would be the Members' Constitution—its sworn officers in Congress assembled, performing its duties, accepting its constraints, and exercising its powers astutely or not—a "living Constitution" indeed. Be forewarned, however, that this path would be as unfamiliar to modern congressional Republicans as to Democrats.
The decline of Congress has been masked in recent years by the Obama administration's brazen acts of unilateral lawmaking—revising or ignoring key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and several welfare, immigration, education, energy, and environmental statutes and evading the Constitution's appointment requirements. Many of these actions have been unconstitutional. A few have been blocked by the courts, and a few have been acceded to with obvious reluctance, but most are immune from legal challenge because no one has standing to sue (which requires tangible individual harm). The House is stepping in with a constitutional lawsuit of its own—casting Congress as a pitiful, helpless giant and innocent bystander to presidential usurpations.
But Congress is not innocent: It has been and continues to be an active partner in the transfer of legislative power to the executive branch. Since the 1970s, it has established dozens of agencies, such as the EPA, with authority to enact sweeping, costly, contentious national policies under vague statutory standards. During the 2008 financial crisis, when the Bush administration rewrote the Troubled Asset Relief Program almost before the ink had dried, legislators complained bitterly but soon acquiesced with supporting legislation. Since then, the Obamacare and Dodd-Frank statutes have set new standards of delegated lawmaking, providing sweeping discretion to a phalanx of agencies, councils, and committees.
Regulation is one thing, but Congress's most dramatic abdications involve its powers to tax, appropriate, and borrow. These powers, enumerated in Article 1, Sections 8 and 9, are specific, plenary, and exclusive and are the linchpins of Congress's constitutional position. Yet Congress now appropriates only 30 percent of annual spending—the rest is entitlements and other automatic spending free of annual appropriations, and interest on the federal debt. In most years Congress doesn't really appropriate the 30 percent either, because of the collapse of its budget procedures and its reliance on continuing resolutions. It did not pass a single regular appropriation for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014.
Congress's propensity to spend much more than it taxes has produced, through continuous annual deficits, a separate kind of delegation—to future citizens and Congresses, who will somehow, someday pay the costs of today's mounting debt. But in the meantime that propensity has also led Congress to transfer taxing, spending, and borrowing authority to the executive.

Celebrating a fourth birthday and growing nicely. That's the story of the Dodd-Frank law, designed to end a "too big to fail" banking system that forced taxpayers to bail out bankers who took not only their own banks but the entire financial system to the verge of collapse, and brought on a record recession. Dodd-Frank, which weighed in at over 2,000 pages at birth, has since put on 14,000 pages of implementing regulations, with more to come.
Conflate two separate issues and you get one policy error. That is what too many opponents of carbon taxes are doing, getting caught up in the argument about climate change, which really has nothing to do with the case for a carbon tax. That case is that such a tax can make growth-inducing tax reform easier to achieve, and reduce the need for an expansion of the regulatory state, while protecting the competitiveness of our industries.
Yesterday, the Virginia DMV sent cease and desist letters to popular ridesharing services Uber and Lyft. In neighboring D.C., Uber has run into trouble with regulatory officials multiple times, but this latest move is surprising because Virginia generally has a much more sane regulatory environment.
Here's the abstract of a piece from Adam J. White on Congress, regulations, and what he calls "the new administrative state."
"The dinosaurs surviving the crunch" was how Stephen Sondheim described women living an outdated lifestyle and grimly aware that "everybody dies." If Sondheim had the slightest interest in the less exalted subject of economics, he would apply that descriptive to a host of companies and industries trying to beat the hooded man with a scythe, aided by their regulators.
The antitrust lawyers I have served as a consultant often have the same complaint: Their clients don't know when to shut up. This was certainly true of the executives of US Airways and American Airlines as they touted the virtues of their proposed $11 billion merger. US Airways president Scott Kirby reportedly said consolidation allows airlines to raise fees and charge for baggage, and the company's CEO, Doug Parker spoke of the virtues of "rationalization," which antitrust enforcers have always taken to mean higher prices and consumer harm. Now that the Justice Department has decided to sue to stop the merger, the airlines' lawyers say these comments are taken out of context.
The Scrapbook neglected to follow its usual practice last week and had a look at the reader comments under an online New York Times article. The Times piece covered the growing popularity of so-called electronic cigarettes (which Ethan Epstein chronicled in these pages a few weeks back), noting that people are increasingly using the devices in public places like restaurants and bars. Unlike real cigarettes, e-cigs don't contain tobacco and don't emit carcinogenic smoke—they only expel water vapor—so they don't cause any harm to nonusers.
Even if you're Warren Buffett--billionaire investor, founder of Berkshire Hathaway, and Democratic donor--it helps to have friends in high places. Through his holding company MidAmerican Energy, Buffett is currently atttempting to purchase NV Energy, a Nevada-based energy firm, and he's getting some big help from that state's senior U.S. senator, Majority Leader Harry Reid.
While not exactly a national monument, the north entrance to the Dupont Circle Metro stop in downtown Washington, D.C., is a pretty impressive edifice. A large circular granite wall is inscribed with a portion of Walt Whitman's poem "The Wound-Dresser," which you can ponder as you slowly descend the 188-foot escalator that takes you to the train underground. The escalators are encased on both sides by sloping concrete blocks with planters interspersed.
When Prohibition ended in 1933, Pennsylvania governor Gifford Pinchot promised to make purchasing alcohol "as inconvenient and expensive as possible." To this day, Pennsylvania has some of the most stringent—and absurd—liquor laws in the country. Beer and wine can't be sold in grocery stores, and you can only purchase six-packs of beer at delis or under the counter at bars and taverns, and no more than two six-packs can be purchased at a time.
At a Democratic fundraiser in Palo Alto, California, President Barack Obama described himself as a common sense Democrat.
The headline of Jeff Mason's Reuters story this morning reads:
As Adam White discusses in detail, there's nothing moderate or incremental about the increase in federal regulations — and hence in centralized executive power — under President Obama. To the contrary (as White notes), according to figures published by the Obama White House (see table 2-1), the costs of regulations issued by this administration have dwarfed the costs of regulations issued by prior administrations.

You all should hear the wind outside my door!
I did walk today, for about 20 minutes, but the wind became too swift and I had to quit.
Besides, I was about to pee!!
I had a very very light salad lunch with my friend and drank alot of water, and peed before leaving the restaurant and by the time I drove 5 miles to the track and walked 20 minutes, I had to go again!!
Maybe its alot of water, or, vitamin d???
or that I had 3 cups of coffee before lunch.
Anyway, the wind here has been awful, I am beginning to wonder if spring is going to be blown away and if we will ever see it.
Tonight, I had cravings, I wanted chocolate, any kind of chocolate.
Well, I know I didnt really want chocolate, I wanted something.
But I didnt give in.
Even with a very light lunch today, I know I still pushed the seams of my calories today.
My friend was telling me today about the diet center shes going to and how shes getting some bio diet style who knows what hormone and b12 and b6 injections and she feels so good.
I am happy for her.
But that isnt for me, no quick fix diets have ever worked for me.
I know that these cravings are psychological and that I have to find out why I want food and what is going on, and what I need to do to stop them.
I know that eventually they will stop and not giving in to them is the thing I have to do.
Not take a pill or get a shot or whatever else.
I really am looking forward to seeing some pounds drop off the scale.
It has been way too long and I know that I have to get back to exercising, since its obvious the weather isnt going to allow me to walk enough to really matter.
But to each his own.
I am glad its working for her, and I wont say it wont work, but for me, I know I have to dig deep and find what makes me want to eat the foods that are bad for me.
I am working on it.
Walking on it!!
I am jealous!!!!
Yes, it is true. This week, I have read posts by at least 3 friends who have lost 2 to 4 pounds in the last week.
One friend posted that she has lost 67 pounds in 9 months since having her baby.
So, I am sitting here wondering what am I doing wrong??????
Or, the better question is, what I am NOT DOING!!!
Exercise is the number one answer.
Other than the handful of times I have actually gotten to walk this year, due to one snowfall right after another, I have done very very little exercise and I am beginning to feel it.
I have been waking up every morning with a pain in my hip.
I am not sure if its the mattress, the way I am laying, or just overall aging, I know what has to happen. WEIGHT LOSS!!!
I have got to get back to losing weight.
On with it.
Today I committed to sticking to my calorie range no matter what. And to cut back on carbs and get back to a higher protein diet.
I even considered doing the all liquid diet for a few weeks just to jumpstart things.
For now I will hold off on that and stick to the high protein diet that helped me so much before.
Cottage cheese
turkey -in all forms.
greek yogurt
whey protein
This is what I basically ate for a year, along with salads, low fat dressings and berries. a typical meal for me was yogurt and a shake in the morning, tuna pouch or a salad for lunch, yogurt for snack and grilled chicken breast and beans for dinner.
Lots of water.
I have to get back to eating right and get some pounds off!!!
I have gained 16 pounds back since the first of 2013.
No weight loss success at all during the whole year.
and now pushing into spring of 2014 and here I am......still not losing.
So, it snowed all day again yesterday, and last night, temps dipped down into the low 20s and we are only days away from April.
I wonder if this is Mother Natures April Fools joke on us????
In other news--I got puppy a play yard, she has plenty of room to run around and play and still is contained so she isnt into everything.
Hoping this helps cut down on chewing cords, etc.
She is scheduled to be spayed in May. As I have been told, this cuts down excitable behavior in male dogs, wonder if its the same for females????
And my electric bill dropped a whopping 100 dollars, amazing. this means I might actually have a few extra dollars in the next few weeks to do something nice for myself.
I am in terrible need of a pedicure, with such a long winter we have had.
Maybe if I can lose 4 lbs or better yet 8....I will treat myself.
Yeah, thats the incentive....10 pounds gone=a pedicure!!! I hope I can do this before flip flop weather!!!!
Havent blogged in a few days.
Last night I was invited out to dinner by a good friend, and we went to the chinese buffet.
I had a nice salad and was hoping for some sushi, there was no sushi.
But I enjoyed some coconut chicken and orange chicken and all the other kinds of chicken.
I only had one small potato and one small nearly bite size piece of cake, peanut butter.
Mostly I stuck to the meats, two spareribs on a stick.
I guess this food was high in salt content or something, because the back of my mouth, past the gum in the main back, has been so sore, raw, painful even.
But it was worth it, I would walk back there today for some more of that coconut chicken!!
and even though I said I wasnt going to, I did drink 1 beer.
After dinner we went to a neighbors house where they had a backyard bonfire going and drinking beer, I had one, out of courtesy to the host.
I am glad I didnt have more.
So yesterday I went to the park, even though it was somewhat windy, I decided it was way too pretty out to waste the day and not walk.
The park was full of people, more than I have seen there.
Walking was great, until this one group of younger women walkers showed up.
Maybe I am just not used to sharing the track with so many people, but, these girls, ranging in age from maybe 14 to early 20s, dressed in cowboy boots, tight jeans and flip flops and not walking, but more like strolling.
I was courteous and stepped to the side when they strolled around, but the perfume was so overwhelming, I had to go sit down and allow them to go on around and get way ahead of me.
Maybe all of them were wearing perfumes that we co-mingling and making the stink, or one of them had on a ton of the most cheap, P U stinking perfume I have smelled.
And there I am, the wind blowing it back on me, and me trying to breathe as it was, had to stop and get tissues out of my car to blow my nose.
But I got my one hour walk in and enjoyed the sun.
At about 40 minutes the wind got more intense and I thought maybe I would stop.
But I pushed on, and it actually felt kind of good, I just kept reminding myself, shorts weather is only weeks away.
My shirts are all too tight.
I havent seen a big loss on the scale in a long time.
Then I came home and tanned and my friend had texted me wanting to go out to eat.
I had planned to fix an omelet as I was home alone last night, but was glad to get the invite, I really needed a night out of the house.
There was a young man at the bonfire playing the guitar and telling jokes and it was a really nice evening.
Took my mind off of alot.
Now, today is Sunday and its walking dead night.
and once again, the sun has hidden and gone way off to some other town. the sky is gray and cloudy and its cold outside.
Snow??? So I have heard.
This has been one long winter.
Someone suggested I write a poem about my friend, it might help me to write, to get out my feelings, and so I did, at least I tried.
I am feeling a little better.
And I did actually sleep last night, was sleeping so deeply when honey came in from work around 4 am, I neither heard him, nor understood what he was asking me.
Something about the tanning bed....
I guess it felt good to sleep and not wake every hour with him on my mind.
Sitting thru a little bit of the funeral, I had hoped to get some spiritual moment where it all dawned on me, life and death and such.
But the kind of funeral his family chose brought nothing but more pain.
Have any of you heard of "old regular baptist"???
If not, you are missing a great time, hell fire and damnation is our lot.
God is a vengeful God.
Woe is you who doesnt believe or kneel at the cross every Sunday, and so on and so on and boogie boogie boogie!!!
I know my friend would not have chosen such a funeral.
Had to be his family I guess.
To each his own.
I told my friend Amy last night that I want none of that when my time comes.
If there is to be any "preaching", I want it to be a biker minister, with a long braid and beard to his belly, with tattooes, and lots of piercings!!!
And I want him to say some sweet words about love and life and enjoying time here on this earth.
Then someone sing some Johnny Cash and everybody dance!!!
Lol....well, at least I didnt lose my sense of humor.
Here is the poem, such as it is that I wrote, I did it as a way of just releasing some of the pain inside, and put it in my writers workshop group feed.....
"An Ode to RDHJ"
""" We talked all the time...about nothing.
Sometimes, just to kill the time, or kill the silence of the time.
Sometimes he made me laugh, sometimes, he made me mad.
Most of the time, he made me happy, happy to have the friend I had.
Today he will be laid on a hill within the hills.....
No more will he message me to say did you hear that song?
No more will he ride his side by side all night long. Coveralls covered in all, dirt, mud, grass and sweat.
I have had many friends, but he was the best one yet!!!
and I watch you go....I watch my tears stream down, dripping onto my own shirt.
I watch a piece of my heart go with you as they lay you in that dirt.
and I whisper goodbye friend, and its picked up and carried away on the wind.
Maybe in time, it will come back around again.
I love you RDHJ, and I will never forget you young friend, I will stay behind and maybe one day I will see you again!"""""
Having such a hard time dealing with the loss of my friend.
It isnt immediate family, so, I am not constantly hearing all the details and am just a spectator on the outside.
I have gone to the services both nights, tomorrow he will be laid to rest.
What does that even mean, laid to rest?
I know it means, HE will be laid to rest. He will give up his burdens, he has.
He has left behind his pain, his burdens, his memories.
Now they become ours.
The living, they become our memories, our pain to bear.
I am in pain.
This young man meant alot to me, he was that friend who never ever was too busy to talk.
Never showed his bad mood, always laughed with you and told you to stop crying if you did.
I havent felt so deeply down in the my soul the loss of someone in a very long time, the way I have felt this one.
But, as I said, I am not on the inside, I was just a friend, nothing more, so I have to go on each day with my life, sitting here tonight, wathcing Breaking Bad on Netflix.
Just some mundane act to keep my mind occupied.
Laid in tanning bed, fixed a bite to eat, cleaned house, took a shower.
Not so much.
I keep waking up, wondering if this is real, is he gone for real?
Yes, is always the answer.
I hope to sleep tonight. I hope tomorrow once the funeral is over and I come back home, to stay busy, hopefully to walk.
But the wind is whipping something up outside.
Rain maybe. Snow? I hope not.
It is time for spring, time to clean out the old. and renew.
Time to get on with life.
Time to let go of the dead and be glad to be alive.
I hope I can live those words soon.

The authors adopt the measure of Downward Real Wage Rigidity (DRWR) developed by Dickens and Goette (2006) and rely on a large administrative matched employer-employee dataset for...

Hey girlie,
I can't tell you when
your period will come because it's different for everyone, but if you want a
pro opinion I would talk to your doc!
by dustyrose on 8/29/2013 10:59:19 PM
I'm 16 & I've had my period for about two years. But I'm going on vacation with my friend and her family next week, and I'm supposed to get my period then. We're going to the beach every day, and I don't wear tampons I got it last year when we went, I don't wanna get it again! Are there any ways to make my period come faster??
Hey girl! There's no way to make it come faster, but there are ways to still have fun at the beach. You can try to avoid the water a bit or give a tampon another go. Bring a good book, some good music, and a pair a shorts. You can still have a fun-filled and relaxing vacation! Good luck!

Hi there.
I've been gaining 4 pounds in the last two weeks, my chest is hurting, I have lots of headaches, I'm grumpy and I've been havin lots of discharge. I don't use pads because I'm a bit afraid to tell my mum.
What shall I do?
And does this mean I'm getting my period soon.
Please help me!

MOD MOD MOD i am 8 and i think i just got my first period but i can not ask to use a pad so i used toilet paper and i am going camping tomorrow what do i do
Hey girl,
You gotta ask for pads! It's not as scary as it sounds- every girl's been there. Ask your mom or older sister to pick up a package at the store for you.

i have gotten signs of my period like cramps and discharge headaches bloating do u think i will get my period soon
Be prepared with pads and tampons in your purse and locker at school- that way you're set just in case. It'll prob be some time soon!

You might have cramps, period or non-period related. Be prepared with pads in your purse/backpack just in case.

Hey I have a question for you! I've had my period for awhile now but I've skipped two months. My mom was concerned and took me to the doctors but they said its normal and can be caused by stress, which I have been lately. But can you explain better? And why does this happen?
Hey girl! Your doc knows best in this situation, so I would take that suggestion over anything. But, our minds and bodies are pretty connected so if you're stressed out it could throw off your hormones a bit. No need to worry! Just take care of yourself until you're not feeling so stressed anymore! Take a walk, read a book, or drink some tea! Everything will go back to normal soon!
by nats13 on 7/27/2013 2:48:19 AM
Before getting my period I had friends telling me how the everything will change, how I would not be able to resist guys, how my body would control everything, how I would need to eat and crave food at certain times. They tried to scare me and while some of it is kind of true some of it isnt. There are good things on not getting it too early too, so I wouldnt rush it. We do have certain cravings for foods and sort of for guys or we look at them differently then before our period. I guess its part of growing up. Best thing is that you cant get pregnant if you slip up and make a mistake with a guy but things do kind of change after getting it.
by fashionqn on 7/15/2013 3:54:05 PM
I'm 14 years old im about 5'1 i way around 90 pounds. I've only gotten my period twice but it was irregular. It was first in December (so i was still 13) and then in April (two days before i turned 14). My doctor thinks i need to gain weight and thats why my period is irregular, but i thought all periods were irregular at first. I'm trying to gain weight but its hard because i have a high metabolism and i do around 16-18 hours of dance a week. Is it normal that my period is irregular? Do you think it has to do with me weight?
Hey! I think if that's what your doctor recommended, then gaining weight is the right thing to do. maybe ask your doctor for tips on how to gain even with your active schedule. Good luck!

The time I put my arm in a sling for research
I challenged myself, as part of research for my writing, to wear a sling for 24 hours. The idea is to remind myself not to use my hand – and even worse, it's my dominant hand.
The fact that I had to unplug my computer for a heavy storm might have had a big part to play in my taking it off (it's difficult to reach into that particular space, with the growing pile of stuff in the way and the sheer awkwardness of getting in there regardless).
And the hardest thing is not cheating. I remember when I had a broken arm for reals, it was hell doing everything. And I couldn't cheat, not even a little.
You have to do everything one-handed. EVERYTHING. Getting dressed. Toilet. Shower. Eating. Computer use. Paying for things (but paypass is good in that regard, as it mostly eliminates the need for coins and notes and change and all that associated noise). You become somehow less of a human being for the inability to do the daily things with the ease you could.
I found I couldn't use a knife and fork, meaning I had to cut potatoes with the knife and then switch to the fork to eat them. And don't get me started on eating chicken wings one-handed! (I am right handed, but I use a knife and fork like a left-handed person because that makes sense to me)
I had to change my mouse to right-click mode, which wasn't a simple tick box (there were tick boxes, but the fact that it wasn't a simple 'click to set mouse buttons to left handed' box meant a bit of awkwardness. I've used it left-handed before, sure, but doing so for extended time kinda sucked.
I ripped the sling off to go out. Partly because there'd just been a storm and partly because I was already sick of using my left hand for everything. The neck cramp might have contributed.
Getting the safety pin out of the bandage was also a bitch, consuming much more time than with two hands, as I expected. (It's a safety pin. With my off-hand.)
I considered whether I should leave it on to go to the pub. But I doubted they'd give me free drinks on the basis that it would be a nightmare getting my wallet out and handling the cash in one hand. Maybe I should have tried anyway. Except the farce would be up as soon as they saw me use my right hand for literally anything.
I've typed one-handed before, but let me tell you, it's painstaking. Either you hunt-and-peck, or one hand does the job of two, touch typing on one side of the keyboard then switching for a tiny bit then going back, back and forth, and it's not smooth or easy.
Going to the toilet was an ordeal. The less said about that, the better.
Brushing my teeth is tricky. Typing is strange, but not impossible. It just takes time. And shortcuts. Hand-writing is out of the question.
Everything is a process, one you have to do one labourious step at a time. One where you don't have another hand to steady, ready, stabilise, or hold the other thing while you do the important thing with the main hand.
And if you're alone, premade meals become your friend.
I don't really remember what it was like with a broken arm, the one time it happened. Not the way I did tasks. But I'm seeing how it affects me not having the use of one of my hands in the here and now. And it's my right hand, the dominant one, for added challenge. But I do remember the pain that took easily two weeks to go away. And that was just a hairline fracture in my wrist. I imagine a full-blown shattering or the like would be a much worse ordeal. And actually losing the limb… well.
More on this tomorrow.

Lightweight and powerful. Built for DJs.
David Guetta challenged Beats by Dr. Dre to create the perfect set of world-class DJ headphones. After extensive design research, we created the lightest, loudest headphones ever.
Designed for DJs, Beats Mixr headphones are the lightest, loudest headphones in the Beats by Dr. Dre collection. Beats Mixr headphones were made for audio enthusiasts and professionals alike. These on-ear headphones reproduce accurate sound and meet the needs of the world's best DJs. And their super-lightweight design means you can pull them on and off while you're onstage without any trouble. By keeping ambient noise out, Beats Mixr headphones provide a cleaner sound while reducing leakage from your own music. This allows for clear audio playback and totally confident mixing.
Club‐ready sound.
Designed to be heard over a crowd, Beats Mixr headphones deliver extremely deep bass at extraordinarily high volume.
Made for DJs.
Rotating ear cups swivel back behind the ears, then rotate back for total isolation. With daisy chain connectors, it's easy to share what you're listening to.
Incredibly durable.
Beats Mixr headphones are built to withstand the rigors of DJ life, which means creating a housing flexible and tough enough to take a beating. The ultra‐flexible headband was also crafted to be super‐lightweight and easily foldable for jetting off to your next destination.

Still practised on most retail electricals in the UK
No, the Extended Service Plan extends the warranty to TWO years. I'm not sure if they do stuff like this in Europe, but (as an example) car manufacturers will offer an extended warranty to customers at the point of purchase. This extended warranty covers the vehicle past the original warranty period. Same with computer manufacturers. The computer may come with a one year service warranty, but they may offer other warranty options that would extend it to either A) cover service and other options (e.g. accidental damage, in-home service, etc.) for the original warranty period, B) extend service coverage for up to five years (depending on the manufacturer), or C) extending service coverage and adding other options for up to five years (depending on the manufacturer). So, no, this isn't a scam. It's simply an offer to extend the original warranty to cover another year.

if it is, it's mostly unknown then as mostly we get a standard 12 month warranty, may I ask where you're from? (just country is fine)
under European Directive 1999/44/EC the warranty has to be 2 years. However further research indicates a grey area surrounding the Sale of goods act which allows upto 6 years (with the onus on the consumer to prove that it was indeed a manufacturing fault). However the original point still stands that you are being offered a service for which you are already covered for...
