D.C. Voting Rights Bill — Still Unconstitutional (Updated)
I've written about this issue before, and said all I think there is to say about it. The fact is that any bill coming out of Congress granting voting rights to D.C. sua sponte is plainly unconstitutional. What's more, Congress is already well aware of this fact. The Congressional Research Service, the legislative analysis advisors to Congress, deduced the following about H.R. 328 (the most recent precursor to current D.C. voting rights bill):
… it is difficult to identify either constitutional text or existing case law that would directly support the allocation by statute of the power to vote in the full House to the District of Columbia Delegate. Further, that case law that does exist would seem to indicate that not only is the District of Columbia not a "state" for purposes of representation, but that congressional power over the District of Columbia does not represent a sufficient power to grant congressional representation.
In particular, at least six of the Justices who participated in what appears to be the most relevant Supreme Court case on this issue, National Mutual Insurance Co. of the District of Columbia v. Tidewater Transfer Co., authored opinions rejecting the proposition that Congress's power under the District Clause was sufficient to effectuate structural changes to the federal government. Further, the remaining three judges, who found that the Congress could grant diversity jurisdiction to District of Columbia citizens despite the lack of such jurisdiction in Article III, specifically limited their opinion to instances where the legislation in question did not involve the extension of fundamental rights. To the extent that the representation in Congress would be seen as such a right, all nine Justices in Tidewater Transfer Co. would arguably have found the instant proposal to be unconstitutional.
During hearings before Congress on the constitutionality of the D.C voting rights bill, Deputy Assistant Attorney General John P. Elwood provided an excellent breakdown of how legal authorities had consistently found that the only way to grant D.C. citizens the right to congressional representation was through a constitutional amendment or by admitting D.C. as a state. Simply passing a law would not suffice.
Despite all the analysis presented, however, Congress continues to press forward with an unconstitutional bill:
Debate opened Monday on a bill to give the 600,000 people of Washington D.C. a full vote in the House. A new Democratic president, Barack Obama, and heftier Democratic majorities in Congress have improved the prospects for the decades-long effort that would certainly ensure another Democrat lawmaker in Congress.
Democrats outnumber Republicans by some 4-to-1 in the capital.
In a bit of horsetrading to offset the Democratic pickup, the bill would award a fourth House seat to Republican-leaning Utah, which narrowly missed getting that extra seat after the 2000 national census. With the two new seats, the House would have 437 representatives.
The time is ripe, said Ilir Zherka, executive director of the advocacy group DC Vote, to end a situation where "we are the only capital of a democracy on the planet that denies voting representation in the national legislature."
The time is ripe because Democrats have a huge majority in both houses of Congress, and control of the White House. The fact that D.C. votes reliably, and overwhelmingly, for Democrats is the real reason for the bill's support amongst that party, and one of the main reasons for many Republicans being against it. To overcome the opposition, therefore, Democrats have thrown a sop to Utah in the way of an extra representative, which would also appear to be unconstitutional without a census. Either way, the fact that the bill is plainly contrary to Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution seems to be merely a convenient excuse for some Republicans and a minor inconvenience to some Democrats.
Jonathan Turley has consistently echoed the above, and eloquently explains why Congress should not pass this law, and why the President should not sign it:
Like many, I believe that it is a terrible injustice for the District residents not to have a vote in Congress. As Justice Black stated in Wesberry v. Sanders: "No right is more precious in a free country than that of having a voice in the election of those who make the laws under which, as good citizens, we must live. Other rights, even the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined." However, the great wrong done to the District residents cannot be righted through the violation of the Constitution itself.
This is not a debate about the ends of legislative action but the means. In a nation committed to the rule of law it is often as important how we do something as what we do. This is the wrong means to a worthy end.
[Our Constitution] is the world's most successful constitutional framework because it is carefully balanced with limited powers between the three branches. It is a design that can be frustrating at times when injustices demand quick action. Yet, the very stability and integrity of our system demands that we remain faithful to its provisions, even when our principles stand in the way of our passions.
Just as there is no debate over the need for a vote for the District, there is no debate that such a vote can be obtained by other means. Indeed, there is no longer any claim to be made that the District (or the Democratic Party) lacks the votes needed to take a constitutional course. The political realities and expediencies that gave raise to this idea no longer exist. With control of both houses and the White House, the sponsors can secure a lasting and unassailable vote in the House of Representatives through either retrocession or a constitutional amendment. Indeed, some republicans have expressed their support for a constitutional amendment that would allow a voting House member for the District.
Like Turley, I am in favor of D.C. residents having a vote in both the House and the Senate. And also like him, I am fervently opposed to any extra-constitutional means of accomplishing that goal. Instead, let's draft an amendment, or begin the process of retroceding D.C. back to Maryland. Let the Maryland officials be accused of wanting to oppress D.C.'s denizens for a while, instead of those of us who simply want to uphold the Constitution.
We know how to make it happen, and yet Congress insists on doing it the wrong way. Much of it, of course, is sheer laziness and want of expediency. But that is no excuse for elected officials to blatantly disregard their roles as stewards of the contract between the people and their government, and the very source of those officials' power. Minor as some of these indiscretions may be, when Congress takes it upon itself to decide which parts of the Constitution are worth following and which are not, then we become a rudderless ship of fools.
However it's done, I heartily agree that we start the process of welcoming our D.C. brothers and sisters to the circus known as Congress. In order to make that welcome worth something, however, I recommend that we go about it in the way that passes constitutional muster.
UPDATE: As it turns out, a bill has been introduced by Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX, 1st Dist.) to retrocede D.C. back to Maryland. Funny how this bill hasn't received any news attention.
"Climate Change" And The Obama Administration – Huge Power Grab In The Offing
No doubt this will somehow end up being blamed on "global warming":
A rocket carrying a NASA global warming satellite has landed in the ocean near Antarctica after an early morning launch failure.
The mishap occurred Tuesday after the Taurus XL rocket carrying the Orbiting Carbon Observatory blasted off into the pre-dawn sky from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base.
"Orbiting Carbon Observatory"? It is apparently now the "Submerged Carbon Observatory".
In other climate change news, it seems the new "Climate Czar" is ready to rock and roll on the question of carbon regulation:
President Barack Obama's climate czar said Sunday the Environmental Protection Agency will soon issue a rule on the regulation of carbon dioxide, finding that it represents a danger to the public.
The White House is pressing Congress to draft and pass legislation that would cut greenhouse gases by 80% of 1990 levels by 2050, threatening to use authority under the Clean Air Act if legislators don't move fast enough or create strong enough provisions.
Note that last line – certainly what one would expect an unelected "czar" to do, wouldn't you say? Note also that the EPA intends to declare CO2 a "danger to the public". Yes friends, the gas you exhale as a part of your respiration, the one that plants use in photosynthesis, is suddenly going to be a "danger to the public".
Officially recognizing that carbon dioxide is a danger to the public would trigger regulation of the greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants, refineries, chemical plants, cement firms, vehicles and any other emitting sectors across the economy.
All those economic sectors and industries which are supposedly going to be engaged in our recovery via infrastructure improvement, providing critical power and fuel or on the list to be rescued by bailout funds. Does that make any sense at all?
Critics of putting an expensive premium on carbon say that such a schedule may be overly optimistic given the global financial crisis and the ramifications that putting a cap on greenhouse gases would have across nearly every sector of the economy. Tough action too fast, they say, not only could curb manufacturing and create an energy crisis by halting new power plant construction, but also could force a rapid migration of businesses overseas to cheaper energy climes.
But zealots don't really care about such things – I mean, this is about "saving the planet" you know? And this isn't just about Browner. She has some powerful backing:
Specifically, Obama wants an economy-wide law – instead of just some major emitting sectors – and to auction off 100% of the emission credits, which analysts say could exponentially increase the cost of emitting, as well as the pay-off for low-carbon projects.
So, given this, does anyone still doubt that we're going to be in this recession for quite some time once the Czar throws the lever on this little power play (no pun intended)?
Wait, there's more. If you're at all concerned with the expanded power this gives the federal government, you ain't seen nothin' yet:
Separately, Browner said the administration was also going to create an inter- agency task force to site a new national electricity transmission grid to meet both growing demand and the President's planned renewable energy expansion. Siting has been a major bottleneck to renewable growth, and lawmakers and administration officials have said they're likely to seek greater federal powers that would give expanded eminent domain authorities.
Hope and change.
The 10th Amendment Movement Continues To Grow
And it's about time:
State governors — looking down the gun barrel of long-term spending forced on them by the Obama "stimulus" plan — are saying they will refuse to take the money. This is a Constitutional confrontation between the federal government and the states unlike any in our time.
In the first five weeks of his presidency, Barack Obama has acted so rashly that at least 11 states have decided that his brand of "hope" equates to an intolerable expansion of the federal government's authority over the states. These states — "Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California…Georgia," South Carolina, and Texas — "have all introduced bills and resolutions" reminding Obama that the 10th Amendment protects the rights of the states, which are the rights of the people, by limting the power of the federal government.
Although critics have panned these refusals as sour grapes by Republicans or attempts to thwart President Obama's stimulus of the economy, in fact it is a fight the states should have undertaken years ago.
One reason is many of the laws passed at a federal level mandate funds be provided for the program at a state level as well. I'd be interested in anyone who can find Constitutional backing for such a requirement by the federal government, but it is what has happened in the past.
Secondly, there's the matter of law. Much of what is driving this 10th Amendment movement is the realization that the Fed is attempting to extend its control deeper and deeper into the states. Many are driven by what some would call "wedge issues", but as Bryan points out in his "MYOB" post, states more accurately reflect their citizenry than does the federal government and the imposition of "one-size-fits-all" legislation, especially when it exceeds the constitutional reach of the Federal government, is something to be resisted:
For example, Family Security Matters reports that Missouri's "House Concurrent Resolution 0004 (2009) reasserts its sovereignty based on Barack Obama's stated intention to sign into law a federal 'Freedom of Choice Act', [because] the federal Freedom of Choice Act would nullify any federal or state law 'enacted, adopted, or implemented before, on, or after the date of [its] enactment' and would effectively prevent the State of Missouri from enacting similar protective measures in the future."
The resolution in Montana grew out of concerns over coming attacks on the 2nd Amendment, thus its preface describes it as, "An Act Exempting From Federal Regulation Under The Commerce Clause Of The Constitution Of The United States A Firearm, A Firearm Accessory, Or Ammunition Manufactured And Retained In Montana."
New Hampshire's resolution actually references certain federal actions that would be nullified within that state were they pushed by Obama's administration, according to americandaily.com. Among these are "Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press, [and any] further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition.
I sincerely hope this trend continues and that we see some states challenge the Federal government in court over 10th amendment issues in an effort to stop the mandates and the attempts to modify or change state law.
For those who have forgotten what the 10th Amendment says or aren't familiar with it, it reserves to the states and people those powers not explicity delegated the federal government:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I'd also remind everyone that the 10th amendment is a part of the Constitution known as the "Bill of Rights". As we've all observed over the years, the rights of states have been all but rendered null and void. To regain a semblance of the federalism under which the nation was founded, movements like this are not only critical but necessary. It is one very important way we can curb the growth of the Federal government – assuming the Supreme Court agrees (which is not at all a given) since I'm sure this argument will eventually end up being settled there.
The Shape Of Things To Come?
We touched on the fact that there are some tax protests popping up around the country in last night's podcast.
William Jacobson says:
The beginning of a protest movement against Barack Obama's redistributive policies is underway. Though still small, every movement starts somewhere. While called the "Tea Party" after the Boston Tea Party, this movement is similar to movements throughout history where the producers of society refuse to have their property and income confiscated.
We all agreed that at this particular moment the movement is mostly a creature of the right-wing. That's not to say it will stay that way, but certainly it is partly outrage over the so-called stimulus bill and partly an opportunity to engage in a little payback for the last 8 years of the left's shenanigans.
Will it gain supporters? Will it gain power? I frankly don't know at this point. But as Debra Saunders points out, if you think it is bad here, in terms of the financial crisis, you ought to be in Europe.
And what is going on in Europe? Well if the UK is any indication, things may be heating up rather quickly there:
Police are preparing for a "summer of rage" as victims of the economic downturn take to the streets to demonstrate against financial institutions, the Guardian has learned.
Britain's most senior police officer with responsibility for public order raised the spectre of a return of the riots of the 1980s, with people who have lost their jobs, homes or savings becoming "footsoldiers" in a wave of potentially violent mass protests.
Interestingly the Brits would be late-comers to the European protest movement:
In recent weeks Greek farmers have blocked roads over falling agricultural prices, a million workers in France joined demonstrations to demand greater protection for jobs and wages and Icelandic demonstrators have clashed with police in Reykjavik.
So, will the burgeoning tax-protest movement here take hold and grow?
If Europe is any indication (you know, the Europe that was supposed to be so much better off than we are according to some?), yes, it might. In fact, if, as promised, the situation here gets worse and worse, I think we can pretty much count on it.
Will it have an effect? Well that's an excellent question.
I'll ask one in return.
Have you seen the deficit?
Someone is going to have to pay for all of that.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Dope Of the Week
Where to start with this joker:
California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested that his party is out of touch with average Americans on the issue of health care.
"You've got to listen to the people. If the nation is screaming out loud, 'We need health care reform. We want to have universal health care. We want to have everyone insured. We want to bring the costs down. We want everyone to have access.' I mean, that's what they want; that's what you do," Schwarzenegger said on ABC's "This Week."
Arguing that California Republicans were out of touch with the majority of Californians who wanted to raise taxes to fix the state's budget crisis, Schwarzenegger said it is "the same nationwide."
He said Republicans need to embrace what the people want, even if it means accepting tax increases that go against their party principles:
"Even though it maybe is against your principles or philosophy, you still have to go, because that's what the people want you to do," he said.
A) Healthcare: the nation isn't screaming any of that out loud. A definite minority want it. But just as large a minority don't want any part of it. A third minority isn't sure one way or the other.
B) If the purpose of government is to simply give the people everything they want, then there's no reason for a budget, a legislature or a governor. Just put everything to a direct vote via referendum, write a program that can figure the cost of each "yes" referendum, figure the tax necessary to fund the approved program and assess the tax. If you must have a legislature or governor, they would only write the law and rubber stamp it based on the referendum (per the Schwarzenegger "philosophy" only unanimous approvals allowed) and the "governor" is there to do nothing more than to sign it into law – period. Once taxes reach 100% nothing else can be signed into law and the legislature is in permanent recess and the governor is no longer needed (hey I can be just as absurd as Schwarzenegger).
Oh, wait, I forgot – you have to have a governor and a legislature to pile up trillions of dollars of debt "giving the people what they want" and drive the state into bankruptcy – my bad.
C) Why have principles if you're not supposed to live by them/act on them. Why run on them, tell voters they'll be your guide and get elected because of them? Schwarzenegger has gone from a somewhat entertaining RINO to an outright idiot.
"Even though it may be against your principles or philosophy" do it anyway because that's what the people want? This guy would obviously rather be liked than principled (if he ever was really principled). Principles are a hindrance to his pursuit of approval (see what steroids will do to your brain?). And my guess is, he'd label this nonsense as "leadership".
Lord help California. Schwarzenegger makes Gray Davis look great.
Jindal Turns Down Federal Funds Because Of Unconstitutional Mandate
That is how the headline should have been written.
However, Think Progress chose to characterize it this way: "Jindal Rejects $90 Million In Recovery Funding That Would Have Benefited 25,000 Louisiana Residents". Says Think Progress:
Today, however, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal announced his intention to oppose changing state law to allow his Lousiana citizens to qualify for the second two unemployment provisions.
So why did Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal do what he did? Well here's what his office says in a press release:
The Governor said the state will not use a portion of the stimulus package that requires the state to change its law to expand unemployment insurance (UI) coverage to qualify for up to $32.8 million of the federal stimulus funding because it ultimately would result in a tax increase on Louisiana businesses.
Sounds like a governor who feels he and his legislature should be deciding their law and not the federal government.
Isn't that what he's elected to do? Doesn't that sound like a perfect 10th amendment defense? Someone point out to me where the Constitution specifies that the federal government can reach down and, without debate or legislative or executive input, force a change of state law as a requirement to receive the aid.
Think Progress says:
But it is not clear why participating in the expanded unemployment insurance program would result in tax increases for business. By Jindal's own estimate, the recovery package would have funded his state's unemployment expansion for three years, at which point the state could — if it chose to do so — phase out the program.
Here's a better idea – pull the requirement at a federal level. Why isn't that the Think Progress position instead?
TP quotes a real expert in this area to close out the post:
As New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin suggested earlier today, perhaps Jindal's presidential ambitions are "clouding" his judgement. "I think he's been tapped as the up-and-coming Republican to petition a run for president the next time it goes around. So he has a certain vernacular, and a certain way he needs to talk right now," Nagin said.
Leave it to Mr. "Chocolate City" to see it that way instead of understanding Jindal's position is the right position for his state. You have to wonder how Nagin would feel if Jindal told him the state would only pay for levee repair if he changed the law in New Orleans and did something the state required, even if it wasn't in the city's best interest?
We'd hear him hollering "no way" clear to Atlanta.
Now That's "Change" We Do Believe
You could hear jaws dropping all over the world's human right's establishment as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated the Obama administration's new policy about human rights vs economic, environmental and security concerns:
Amnesty International and a pro-Tibet group voiced shock Friday after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vowed not to let human rights concerns hinder cooperation with China.
Paying her first visit to Asia as the top US diplomat, Clinton said the United States would continue to press China on long-standing US concerns over human rights such as its rule over Tibet.
"But our pressing on those issues can't interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis," Clinton told reporters in Seoul just before leaving for Beijing.
Hmmm … 4th place.
But Gitmo?
Old America v. New America – Justice vs. Fairness
David Brooks does his usual NYT spin job:
Our moral and economic system is based on individual responsibility. It's based on the idea that people have to live with the consequences of their decisions. This makes them more careful deciders. This means that society tends toward justice — people get what they deserve as much as possible
That's the rumor. The reality, as we'll see, doesn't conform with the rumor. The why is in a single word: 'justice'. What Brooks talks about here are the supposed foundations of our civilization and way of life. Individual responsibility and justice. Individuals are responsible for their condition (through their choices) and expected to live with them. Their condition isn't anyone else's fault or problem barring force or fraud. A just society understands that and, as is necessary, holds them responsible for their choices. Lessons are only learned when one has to live with the consequences of one's choices. But what a just society doesn't do is penalize those which have made the right or proper choices in their lives. It doesn't require such people to prop up or rescue those who have made poor choices. Such a society would see that as "unjust" and work against the concept of individual choice and individual responsibility.
A just society is where everyone is afforded the same opportunities and held to the same standards of behavior and the law. Success, however, is left up to individual effort and ability. In a just society you are free to do, within reason, whatever you desire to do, but you're expected to live with the consequences.
With that preface, let's look at Brooks' next couple of paragraphs:
Over the last few months, we've made a hash of all that. The Bush and Obama administrations have compensated foolishness and irresponsibility. The financial bailouts reward bankers who took insane risks. The auto bailouts subsidize companies and unions that made self-indulgent decisions a few decades ago that drove their industry into the ground.
The stimulus package handed tens of billions of dollars to states that spent profligately during the prosperity years. The Obama housing plan will force people who bought sensible homes to subsidize the mortgages of people who bought houses they could not afford. It will almost certainly force people who were honest on their loan forms to subsidize people who were dishonest on theirs.
While Brooks properly chastises the banks, automakers and state governments, he leaves out one of the most irresponsible of entities which played as large a role as any other contributor to this current financial debacle – the federal government. If ever there was an enabler for all of this, it is Washington DC. Much of what happened can be laid directly at the feet of the Fed. The financial implosion didn't start on Wall Street but with the insolvency of the quasi-governmental entities Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Yet they've not been in the spotlight of Congressional hearings or had the millions paid their top execs complained about and capped. Where's the justice in that?
So to get back on topic after that brief aside to assail writers like Brooks for excusing the Federal government from their condemnations (and you'll see why he did so in a moment), the reason that Brooks seems so angry in this part of his op-ed is he is giving lip service to some foundational American ideals and pretending to be outraged that they're being violated just before he pulls the rug out from under them. It is obvious to Brooks and anyone with the IQ of a melon that those who are running the show in DC have absolutely no desire for a "just" society based on individual responsibility anymore but he wants to break it to you gently. That's the old America. The new America is one based in "fairness" and collective responsibility. At this point, Brooks wants you believing he's an "old America" kind of guy.
So he relates the fact that many in America are still mired in their old fashioned belief in justice and are, consequently, a little ticked about this payoff to the irresponsible among us. People are complaining about it. And after a reasonably good, but disingenuous start, it is here where Brooks pulls the mask off completely:
These injustices are stoking anger across the country, lustily expressed by Rick Santelli on CNBC Thursday morning. "The government is promoting bad behavior!" Santelli cried as Chicago traders cheered him on. "The president … should put up a Web site … to have people vote … to see if they want to subsidize losers' mortgages!"
Well, in some cases we probably do. That's because government isn't fundamentally in the Last Judgment business, making sure everybody serves penance for their sins. In times like these, government is fundamentally in the business of stabilizing the economic system as a whole.
Irresponsibility is not really penalized in New America. New America is driven by the belief that it is our collective responsiblity to those in need, regardless of how they got there or what it entails, to satisfy that need. So when the life vest of your money (via taxes and debt you will be taxed to repay) is offered to someone drowning as a result of their own irresponsible choices, you are expected to accept that as your duty and not complain about it.
You see, per Brooks, government isn't in the justice business, it's in the "economic stabilization" business.
Really? Since when?
And since when did the economic stabilization business involve rewarding incompetence and irresponsibility while punishing their opposites? Isn't such a policy of rewarding incompetence and irresponsibility a huge moral hazard, not to mention self-defeating? Why would someone change their behavior if there is no real punishment for their present behavior? Isn't government picking "winners" and "losers" even while Brooks claims government isn't in the "Last Judgment" business?
In fact it is and has been in the "Last Judgment" business for a while. And in the case here, the judgment made by government is that it is only fair to pick up those who've fallen short at the expense of those who haven't. It has made the judgment that their need is far greater than the need of those who have played by the rules and done their part – after all those who have done the right thing are relatively better off than those who haven't aren't they? If, as Obama claimed at the Greek Temple, "we are our brother's keepers" (well except in a real, Obama-family sense), then the "last judgment" was made then and is now merely being implemented.
We are, apparently, no longer a nation which seeks justice and equal opportunity. That's Old America. New America seeks fairness as its highest goal. And in the New America, that means an equality of outcome where new "rights" are invented which entitle us to our desires, even at the expense of others.
Brooks goes on to apologize and attempts to minimize the horrific damage being done to America as we used to know it. He serves his purpose and spins the utter destruction of Old America and the emergence of New America as something which just had to be done by our new leader and his benevolent band of brothers, all of whom have your best interest at heart.
It's enough to make you sick.
Dissent and Hate Speech
Apparently signs equal threats to some of our police:
An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.
The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read "Abort Obama, not the unborn."
Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over.
"I pulled over, knowing I hadn't done anything wrong," Harrison said in a recent phone interview.
When the officer asked Harrison if he knew why he had been pulled over, Harrison said he did not.
"They said, 'It's because of the sign in your window,'" Harrison said.
When did cops start pulling people over for political bumper stickers or signs?
Anyway, Harrison tried to explain what the sign meant, they disagreed and he was issued a a slip of paper that said he was a part of some sort of investigation. They took his sign. Later, he's contacted by the police saying the policeman misunderstood and asking him if he wanted his sign back. They had contacted the Secret Service about the sign, and they had told the police it wasn't a threat. Except apparently they were blowing smoke:
"The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said.
"When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren't going to ransack my house or anything … they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups."
Harrison said he invited the Secret Service agents into the house and they were "very cordial."
"We walked through the house and my wife and 2-year-old were in the house," Harrison said.
He said they interviewed him for about 30 minutes and then left, not finding any evidence Harrison was a threat to the president.
Walk through my house? Uh, get a warrant.
Hate groups? They knew what the sign was about, what was the rest of this about?
Which segues nicely into the next portion of the post – hate speech.
Eugene Volokh has a very interesting post up about a UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center study titled Hate Speech on Commercial Talk Radio.
It's a fascinating post which demonstrates how hard certain groups are working another angle aimed at talk-radio (and read the comments, where commenters take the study's assertions aparat). Hate-speech is a lever that various groups on the left have been trying to enable for years. From the study, here's their definition of hate speech:
Types of Hate Speech
We identified four types of speech that, through negative statements, create a climate of hate and prejudice: (1) false facts [including "simple falsehoods, exaggerated statements, or decontextualized facts [that] rendered the statements misleading"], (2) flawed argumentation, (3) divisive language, and (4) dehumanizing metaphors (table 1).
Then the examples:
Table 1. Analysis of Hate Speech from The John & Ken Show
"And this is all under the Gavin Newsom administration and the Gavin Newsom policy in San Francisco of letting underage illegal alien criminals loose" (from the July 21, 2008, broadcast).
Vulnerable group: foreign nationals (undocumented people).
Social institutions: policy and political organizations (city policy and mayor's office).
The sanctuary policy preceded Gavin Newsom's tenure as San Francisco's mayor, and neither Newsom nor the sanctuary policy supports "letting underage illegal alien criminals loose."
Guilt by association is used to make the hosts' point. Undocumented youth and those who are perceived as their endorsers at the institutional level are stigmatized by being associated with criminality.
Criminalized undocumented youth and their perceived validators (Gavin Newsom and the sanctuary policy) are depicted as a threat to San Francisco citizens, setting up an "us versus them" opposition.
ANALYSIS The language depicts the hosts' targets (undocumented people, city policy, and Mayor Gavin Newsom) as dangerous, criminal, and collusive. In addition, the focus of that policy (undocumented people) becomes reduced to "underage illegal alien criminals."
Talk about over-analysis. The bottom line is this matrix of assessment is based in pure biased opinion disguised as objectivity. Hate speech, in this case, is nothing more than saying "letting underage illegal alien criminals loose" is wrong.
As Volokh says:
The vagueness and potential breadth of the phrase "hate speech" is a pretty substantial reason — though just one among many — to resist the calls for a "hate speech" exception to the First Amendment. And the vagueness and potential breadth is also a reason to be skeptical of uses of the phrase even outside the law: It's very easy to define "hate speech" as you like (or leave it undefined, as some arguments do), and use it to condemn people who express a wide range of views that you disapprove of.
One of the most defining phrases in the history of America free speech is "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
It has never been "I don't like what you say and it sounds like "hate speech" to me so you should be silenced".
Foreclosure Imminent? Call ACORN
Of course part of the huge and porky "stimulus" bill was billions to Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program. Of the the past beneficiaries of that program has been our old buddies at ACORN. But, you say, the election is over – ACORN can't collect taxpayer money for fraudulent voter registration anymore.
Never fear, ACORN has found itself a new line of work. Civil disobedience:
The community organizing group Acorn unveiled the campaign with a spirited rally on Friday at a Brooklyn church and will roll it out in at least 22 other cities in the coming weeks. Through phone trees, Web pages and text-messaging networks, the effort will connect families facing eviction with volunteers who will stand at their side as officers arrive, even if it means risking arrest.
"You want to haul us out to jail? Fine. Let the world see how government has been ineffective," Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in an interview. "Politicians have helped banks, but they haven't helped families in the way that it's needed, and these families are now saying, enough is enough."
Yes friends, your hard earned money (or that which has been borrowed from the Chinese or printed on that nifty little printing press the government has) is now going to fund ACORN's civil disobedience shenanigans.
While no one likes to see anyone lose their home, if you're a believer in private property, then you understand the concept that you have to pay for someone else's property or they have recourse. ACORN, dealing on emotion and your money, have unilaterally decided that's just wrong and intends to demonstrate that by attempting to disrupt lawful procedures to foreclose homes. Instead of using the money to help the family that is losing the home to find other accomodations and by doing so ameliorate the trauma, ACORN has decided to add to the trauma instead.
Acorn's strategy is modeled on a movement the group led in the 1980s, when squatters occupied and set out to renovate thousands of abandoned city-owned buildings in New York, Philadelphia and Detroit, among other cities. The motivation was to solve what Ms. Lewis has called "the working family's housing crisis."
In cities like Orlando, Fla., which has one of the nation's highest foreclosure rates — and Boston, Houston, Baltimore, Oakland, Calif., and Tucson, Ariz. — Acorn organizers have been creating networks to alert a homeowner's neighbors when an eviction has been scheduled or deputies are on the way. Some volunteers will summon friends and relatives to converge at the home, while others will be in charge of notifying the news media. Organizers are also recruiting lawyers willing to defend for no fee those who are arrested.
The campaign, called Home Defenders, enlisted about 500 participants during meetings held Friday and Saturday in New York and five other cities. Ms. Lewis and other organizers said that they believed the number will reach into the tens of thousands within weeks.
Yessiree, just what we need – a taxpayer funded organization with obvious socialist roots attempting to deny the proper property owner's rights while a sympathetic press looks on. ACORN's model isn't even a righteous model. As noted, the buildings in question in the '80s were abandoned. The foreclosed houses aren't abandoned, just empty. The quickest way to get in one, beside taking it unlawfully, is to buy it or rent it.
ACORN, however, would much rather spend its funds making a splash than a difference. But I'm not sure what else you'd expect from a bunch of marxist community organizers.

John Henry: The steel-driving man | GOOD MORNING COLUMN
The other night on the History Channel, I watched a program on the massive effort required to build the Hoover Dam.
I was especially interested in the crews that blasted through the bedrock because it reminded me of the legend that is John Henry, the steel-driving man.
The tiny community of Talcott in southern West Virginia is about 90 minutes from Bluefield, where I worked on the newspaper.
After the Civil War, the C&O Railroad was built through the Appalachian Mountains.
The area of Big Bend near Talcott was a major obstacle. The hills were too high to lay track. They would have to cut a tunnel through more than a mile of solid rock.
The project took three years. Scores of men lost their lives in the thick dust deep in the mountain.
The story spread that a large black man named John Henry was by far the best worker, allegedly using a 14-pound hammer to knock out up to 15 feet of rock in a single shift.
According to the story, a salesman came to town and bragged that his newfangled steam-powered drill could do more work than any human being.
Of course, the man won. True believers far and wide claimed that John Henry drilled a pair of seven-foot holes in the time it took the machine to sink a single nine-foot shaft.
Giving the urban legend even more legs, John Henry apparently collapsed out of exhaustion. Naturally, the hammer was still in his hand when he breathed his last breath.
No one knows for sure if John Henry even existed, much less worked on the tunnel.
But the good folks of Talcott erected a statue of the guy in 1972 on the 100th anniversary of the completion of the project.
I went over there a few times in the early years of my newspaper career. Once I found an elderly woman who told me her grandmother knew a laborer named John Henry, and that he had a reputation as the strongest man on the mountain.
The lady just laughed when I brought up the alleged competition with the drilling machine.
I took that to mean a legendary "no."

Giovan Francesco Gemelli Careri in 1693 decideded to travel all over the world.
He's the most famous of "calabresi†travellers and someone calls him the inventor of travelling.
He was born in Radicena, (today Taurianova) Calabria, Italy, in 1651 and was a magistrate in the law court of Naples.
His Family was not aristocratic, so he couldn't ever be a successful magistrate. In 1685 he'd been travelling in Europe for a year. Back in Naples, went on working in the law court for a while. But his life was not enough satisfying, and because of his curious mind, he wanted to see many other new things.
So, in 1693 he started is travel around the world.
His travelling lasted five years and sometimes was very dangerous. He sailed across the Pacific Ocean on a galley from Manila to Acapulco: "254 days and 5 years†between storms, deceases, fear… He's been also walking across Southern America and Asia for the main part of his trip.
When he came back, he wrote a very successful report, printed in Italian five times and translated in others languages.
Someone said that Jule Vernes, writing his Around the World in 80 Days was thinking of Giovan Francesco Gemelli Careri.
We don't know if it's true, but certainly true is the fact that he was absolutely maybe the first backpacker.
Considering the fact that at the time hotels and hostels were not as popular as today ( They did not exist at all).

Quicksilver Resources Inc. - Special Call
Currently, Quicksilver has the largest inventory of projects in company history. I direct your attention to Slide #5, which shows our current inventory of projects along a maturity curve versus time. As you can see, each of our projects is at a different level of maturity with West Texas being the newest and Horseshoe Canyon being the most mature. We recognize with our debt position that selling assets is important to reduce overall debt in order to free up more cash flow for growth. For this reason, we have chosen to monetize Quicksilver's Barnett position. We are entering our ninth year of activity in the Barnett and while still some distance from the full maturity, the Barnett is of a size that can meaningfully reduce this debt.
The company has chosen to do this in the form of a master limited partnership, which we believe will realize the best value for Quicksilver shareholders. After studying the asset sale versus public yield vehicle markets, we believe the company will be -- will receive a better price for the assets and we'll still have ownership in the growth of the Barnett unbooked resource of over 1 trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent and also participate in the gas price recovery over time by forming a master limited partnership.
In our earnings call on November 7, 2011, we targeted the filing of the S-1 registration with the SEC by the year end. The timing of this has lagged by about 30 days, but we should be filed relatively soon. Quicksilver has experienced -- has experience in running this type of entity and we have a very efficient operational team that will continue to harvest this asset over the long term.

Which Prime are you talking about? The Emo kid, or the Grammy award
"@Newdeath said:
"Do Goku and Vegeta have access to all of their Super Saiyan forms? "as always if they didnt i would post it in the OP "
" @Newdeath said:Alright then.
"Do Goku and Vegeta have access to all of their Super Saiyan forms? "as always if they didnt i would post it in the OP "
" @FLCL1 said:
" @Newdeath said:Alright then. As for the battle Team 1 wins for the following reasons: 1. Since Goku and Vegeta both have access to all of their Super Saiyan forms then they are equal in terms of power which would leave pure skill, strategic genius and tactical knowledge as the deciding factor. Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta would defeat Super Saiyan 4 Goku considering that Vegeta is a smarter and better fighter than him and plays on his opponent's weaknesses. 2. Onslaught's reality manipulating powers are for all purposes unlimited for he has the power of Franklin Richards combined with the powers of other mutants. Franklin Richards has the power equal to that of a Celestial this being proven by the Celestials themselves who stated it and spared the Earth for being genetically correct because it produced a being as powerful as themselves that being being Franklin Richards. Onslaught's reality warping powers would overwhelm every other fighter in this battle as he could easily erase Superman Prime from existence. 3. Though it is highly likely that Superman Prime's physical strength is greater than that of Onsalught's, Onslaught's physical strength has been sufficient to easily overpower a full powered Juggernaut who is constantly said to have infinite physical strength, he was able to easily overpower the combined physical power of Thor, Hercules (Who is nearly as strong as The Hulk for those who don't know), Juggernaut, Colossus and many other Marvel powerhouses and he did this with extreme ease to the point of easily manhandling a Banner-less Hulk and it should be noted that Onslaught's strength is stated to be limitless and he can also augment it via telekinesis. Though I still believe Prime to be stronger he will not be having an easy bout with Onslaught if it involves physical strength. 4. Onslaught is completely invulnerable to physical damage and before anybody states ridiculous claims, he allowed Hulk and Thor to crack his armor in order to absorb them to gain their power even though they aren't mutants. Onslaught easily withstood powerful blows from a fully powered Juggernaut and an a ridiculously and extremely enraged Banner-less Hulk. Though he is stated to be completely invulnerable to physical damage, Prime's power might discover a limit to Onslaught's invulnerability, might and it is likely that he will not and Onslaught's blows would eventually overwhelm Prime if they were to engage physically. 5. Onslaught's telepathy is far too powerful for Prime to withstand. Onslaught has been able to easily defeat the most powerful of telepaths with relative ease: Jean Grey (An Omega Level Mutant) and Franklin Richards and many others. Onslaught could defeat Superman Prime through mental means by sending powerful mind blasts or he could manipulate his minds or cause subconscious nightmares. 6. Onslaught's magnetic powers would overwhelm Superman Prime. Onslaught is able to functionally control the entire electromagnetic field of an entire planet and manipulate it accordingly. Onslaught's magnetism is even greater than Magneto (Half of Onslaught, the other being Professor X). Onslaught can control iron in any form of organic matter and could control the iron in Superman Prime's blood and can functionally stop his blood flow. 7. Speed is not a factor for even if Prime attempted to use his speed, Onslaught is not that slow of a being as he was able to tag even the most fastest heroes on Earth 616 with relative ease. 8. Superman Prime would have no proper method of attacking or harming Onslaught especially physically. If Onslaught were to allow Superman Prime to break his armor then Onslaught would be a complete psychic entity and virtually invincible only worsening the situation for Prime as Prime's physical attacks would be completely useless. 9. Onslaught's power would overwhelm Prime as he has created an entire Sun in an effort to defeat the heroes of Earth however in this case if he created an entire Sun then he would be supplying Superman Prime with more power. Onslaught's reality warping is virtually omnipotent as he can create pocket dimensions and universes without using his full power. Onslaught's reality warping powers are functionally on a universal scale. 10. There are hypotheticals. Instead of engaging Superman Prime, Onslaught could fight against Vegeta whom he would defeat in mere seconds via reality wapring (he could erase Vegeta from existence) and could proceed to defeat Superman Prime. The other hypothetical would be if Superman Prime fights Goku and defeats him effortlessly however proceeds to fight Prime alongside Vegeta and both of them would ultimately be defeated by Onslaught.

Hi there,
We have a well locked down group policy that has been protecting our systems for some time (Windows 2003 domain - XP SP2 clients).
We have recently started applying a mandatory profile to the students to change some settings that are not GP enabled and to speed up the setting up of new profiles.
Unfortunately there are occasionally problems loading this profile and if that happens it attempts to load a default profile. In this case the group policy is not applied to the student and they have access to everything. Obviously they dont have permissions to do harm to other computers or the servers but they can make a mess of the one they are on.
Looking back through posts on here I have enabled the GP settings to log students off if the roaming profile does not load properly, but this does not seem to have made a difference.
Has anyone had any experience of this? Any thoughts what to do?

Csdukate , 9 months agoThis was fantastic! Had my mom over for dinner and she said "this was the best chicken I have ever had!" I brought a bowl of the sauce to the table to dip the chicken in it. Fantastic!!!
soniacar , 9 months agoTried it and absolutely loved it! I don't eat/like chicken but this was actually mouth watering as I was taking it out of the oven. I had to have a bite! So good! My husband loved it too and loved the fact that I ate chicken too ( 2 drumsticks !!! )

Kncompton05 , 11 months ago
aria911 , 11 months agoEveryone loved it
shaylashiera , 11 months agoI've made this recipe a few times, and always a bit different. Used drummies the first time, breast filets the second time, and just recently I made a whole chicken in my slow cooker with this sauce! I think that was by far my favorite. I also ran out of soy sauce so I made up for it with a touch of teriyaki sauce, and I usually throw in some onion powder and Italian seasoning. Over all one of my favorite chicken recipes as I can whip it up in moments and it is always amazing!!!!
Jackiechan042003 , 11 months agoSo good! I made the mistake of putting them on a baking sheet instead of a glass dish so the pan kept curling in the heat and the sauce kept moving around (my bad!) but it was still super delicious over rice :)
scooby14 , 11 months agowas good thanks for sharing this... thanks :)
tkcochran , 12 months agoMade this tonight with chicken legs and just like the recipe. It was delicious! Couldn't be easier! No need to upload a pic, mine looked just like the pics already posted. Thx for sharing!
Tamara42 , 1 years agoI don't eat chicken but I fixed it for my family and they absolutely loved it, when I came home the next day all the leftovers were gone!

I am researching the Donnally's of Gallia,Jackson, and surrounding counties in Ohio. Mainly I am currently researching Andrew, Dominick, and Hugh Donnally From EARLY Ohio with dates from about 1758-1850. I descend from Andrew Donnally of Gallia/Jackson County. He is NOT to be confused with the Ft. Donnally line. I would enjoy hearing from others who might have retained info on this trio.

Is it my imagination, or have you noticed that some public high school courses that are now called "honors" are equivalent to the regular "college prep" curriculum of earlier eras? And have you also noticed that what is now called "college prep" is aimed largely at students who are deemed low achievers or of low cognitive ability?
In fact, this trend is nobody's imagination. Over the past generation, public schools have done away with "tracking" -- a practice that began in the early 1900′s. By the 20′s and 30′s, curricula in high schools had evolved into four different types: college-preparatory, vocational (e.g., plumbing, metal work, electrical, auto), trade-oriented (e.g., accounting, secretarial), and general. Students were tracked into the various curricula based largely on IQ but sometimes other factors such as race and skin color. Children of immigrants, and children who came from farms rather than cities, were often assumed to be inferior in cognitive ability and treated accordingly.
During the 60's and 70's, radical education critics such as Jonathan Kozol brought accusations against a system they found racist and sadistic. They argued that public schools were hostile to children and lacked innovation in pedagogy. Their goal -- which became the goal of the larger education establishment -- was to restore equity to students, erasing the lines that divided them by social class and race. The desire to eliminate inequity translated to the goal of preparing every student for college. The goal was laudable, but as college prep merged with the general education track, it became student-centered and needs-based, with lower standards and less homework assigned.
Some of the previous standards returned during the early 80's, when the "Back to Basics" movement reacted against the fads of the late 60's and the 70's by reinstituting traditional curricula. But the underlying ideas of Kozol and others did not go away, and the progressive watchword in education has continued to be "equality."
As a result, grouping students according to ability -- a practice viewed by many in the education establishment as synonymous with tracking -- has been almost completely eliminated in K-8. Instead, most schools practice full inclusion, which means educators are expected to teach students with diverse backgrounds and abilities in the same classroom using a technique known as "differentiated instruction."
Unfortunately, the efforts and philosophies of otherwise well-meaning individuals have attempted to eliminate the achievement gap by eliminating achievement. Exercises in grammar have declined to the point that they are virtually extinct. Book reports are often assigned in the form of a book jacket or poster instead of a written analysis. Essays now are "student-centered" -- even history assignments often call upon students to describe how they feel about past events rather than apply factual analysis. Math classes are now more about math appreciation and being able to explain how a procedure works rather than the mastery of skills and procedures necessary to solve problems.

When HomeMasters started in 1990, its licensed, insured, and bonded staffers didn't stray very far from roof and gutter projects. Today, however, you might find them remodeling a kitchen or fixing a leaky faucet. Still, even with their expansion to handyman services, their specialty remains roof and gutter installation and repair. The roofers have even achieved CertainTeed ShingleMaster status, and the gutter technicians have 20-foot-long arms that can go all the way down a downspout to clean it out.
Using eco-friendly, non-toxic products, Maid To Shine Cleaning will scrub, dust, and wipe until your house is spic-and-span and ready for any social gathering. With this deal, you'll get three hours of work from Maid To Shine's courteous, highly experienced staff that will perform any number of cleaning services. Standard visits include cobweb removal, extensive dusting, vacuuming, shot putting, and microwave scrubbing. In the bathroom, Maid To Shine can remove most pesky stains in the shower, sink, or toilet and give chrome fixtures and surfaces a thorough polishing. Have your electronics and knick-knacks looking slick and new once Maid To Shine dusts off any grime and dirt. And in the kitchen, your countertops, cabinets, dinette sets, and sinks will look spotless and be completely sanitary, free from any mustard graffiti left by anarchist chefs.
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Most popular offering: Kitchen and bathroom design service
We are a husband and wife owned and operated company here in Oregon. We provide: Moss Removal and Treatment Services, Roof, Gutter and Window Cleaning Services, and Power Washing Services for both Residential and Commercial.
In 2009, current owner and native Oregonian Chris Peterson revived his family's defunct, nearly 20-year-old roofing business with the decision to make eco-friendly practices the foundation of C.D. Northwest's roof-strengthening services. Chris threw all the know-how he had gained from growing up with the company and the knowledge he accrued earning a degree in business administration into reopening C.D. Northwest's doors. Now, Chris and his small crew of dedicated workers tend to roofs on commercial buildings and residential homes, from bungalows and ranches to three-story Victorians made of glass. That eco-friendly mission has held fast, forming the basis for even the most basic services, such as scouring roofs with a nontoxic cleaning chemical. To keep Mother Nature and karma on its side, the team at C.D. Northwest continually contributes to a variety of charities including Friends of Trees and the SMART program, which aims to teach kids how to read.
When HomeMasters opened in 1990, they were aiming for the very top?literally. The specialists in all things roofing and gutters earned a reputation for excellence thanks to their team of full-time employees with years of experience. In fact, their services were so trusted that their clients began asking them to expand into other fields of home maintenance. Today, HomeMasters offers fence repair, painting and staining, grout and tile sealing, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, and clearing out former residents.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said his government will be judged at the end of its four-year mandate and not before.
"As our constitution says, we will be judged at the end, not in the middle, of our 4-year term," he told lawmakers in Athens today, in statements televised live on state-run Vouli TV. "We can't give up in middle of the storm."

text: Late summer has me craving soft fabric with grand poetry. Once the 4th of July has passed, it's over for harsh, bright and loud. With my mind and body traveling to luxurious destinations near and far, I want my wardrobe to transport beautifully and feel decadent upon arrival. Goddess level softness from every angle is my current obsession and it's all I'm shopping for at the moment. It will carry me through the summer and peak during the golden days of September, then double back for my holiday to Tulum, Mexico come December. A soft edge with romance and drama amply laced with mystery is the look.

Nuggets from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' (GMCR +24.3%) conference call: 1) A nonplussed attitude on Starbucks from execs is fairly evidence as they dance around the competitive impact on GMCR's business model. On the SBUX partnership: "...still multiyear from this current point in time." 2) On inventory jumps, execs say the total was fairly evenly split between raw materials and finished goods. 3) Is the company looking at a potential gold mine with online channels? In FY12, Keurig.com saw 23M visitors and placed 3M web orders. The conversion rate of 13% doesn't sound shabby compared to retail rivals. (transcript, slides)

The key to GMCR and for the Longs to be smiling about is that it was mentioned on the call yesterday that no partner makes up more than 6% dependency. Only Newman is close to 6%. This means GMCR has spread out it's risk very nicely, and has positioned itself not to be hostage to any one supplier. That to me is soooooooooooo key going forward. On top of that, all their relationship have minimum of 2 years left in it, including SBUX. New relationships are being built as we speak.
