SACRAMENTO, Calif. — For some, summer travel means going no farther than the backyard with a blanket and a book.
For others, it's a lot more complicated, involving planes, trains and automobiles — and a lot more gear.
Whether you're heading on a road trip or flying to your desired destination this summer, here are some trusty travel tips to save you time and money:
Protect your stuff
Before you travel, find out what your insurance covers. Under most homeowner/renter policies, your possessions — luggage, clothes, etc. — will be covered if lost or stolen, whether you're in California or Calcutta. Minus your deductible, of course. Some credit-card companies also provide theft coverage.
When packing, take a picture of your suitcase and its contents. "Spread everything out on the bed, so if you have to make a claim, you'll know what you have," said Michele Adams, a State Farm Insurance agent in Sacramento.
If you have expensive extras — cameras, jewelry, sports equipment or tech gear — you might want a "personal articles" policy. Typically, there's no deductible and policies can cost as little as $40 a year, depending on what's covered.
However, some "personal articles" policies don't cover tablets and smartphones.
Prepare for loss, theft
It can happen to anyone. To avoid being a victim:
• Make a copy of all your travel documents — passports, itinerary, plane tickets, hotel reservations. Leave one set behind with a friend or family member; keep an extra set in your luggage.
Include toll-free numbers for your credit cards, so you can cancel the card immediately if lost or stolen.
• If staying in a hotel, take a cellphone photo of the exterior, in case you get lost or can't communicate with a cabdriver. Or carry the hotel's postcard, stationery sheet or business card.
• "Always use a hotel safe" to lock up valuables when leaving your room, says veteran travel columnist Ed Perkins of SmarterTravel.com.
• If something happens, file a police report, if possible, which can help with insurance claims.
Avoid identity theft
• Weed out the wallet, said Ken Lin, CEO of the consumer website CreditKarma.com in San Francisco. You don't need your Macy's card while hiking in the Sierra Nevada. Same for your Social Security card, library card, gym membership or anything with personal information that can "encourage identity theft or access to your life."
• Don't use an ATM on a random corner or in out-of-the-way locations. "Use a bank ATM in a well-lit public place," Lin said, noting that thieves can install PIN "sniffers" that read your card.
• When using a public Wi-Fi connection for your laptop, find a trusted source, such as your hotel.
"Anyone can make it say 'Free Public' connection, Lin said, "but it could be just a random stranger" trying to steal personal data. It's OK to send emails or look up maps and restaurants at an Internet cafe, but don't access bank accounts or financial information on a public computer, he said. Always remember to log off.
Credit-card caveats
• Call your credit-card issuers to let them know your travel dates. Otherwise, if they spot a purchase in Ireland or Orlando, Fla., they might try contacting you to confirm it's legitimate. If you can't be reached, banks may flag an out-of-country purchase as identity theft and freeze your card.
• If traveling overseas, beware of "foreign transaction" fees that can add 2 to 3 percent to every purchase. The good news: In recent months, a number of banks have issued no-foreign-transaction-fee cards. To see a list of traveler-friendly credit cards, go to comparison sites such as CardHub.com or LowCards.com.
• Bring two credit cards: a main card and one kept separate as a backup, in case the primary one is lost or stolen. If traveling as a couple, "each of you can carry a different card," said SmarterTravel's Perkins.
Booking hotel rooms
When booking a room, call the hotel directly — instead of the 1-800 number — for a better chance at negotiating the price, said Jeanette Pavini, a San Francisco Bay Area-based consumer-savings writer with Coupons.com. And, she notes, a hotel's "special" rate is not necessarily its lowest rate. Don't ask for specials; ask specifically for the lowest price.
Pavini's other tips: Look for recently opened hotels, which often offer "rock-bottom rates and perks to get people in the door." Request a corner room to get more space for the same price.
Amusement-park savings
To save money on souvenirs such as "autograph books and mouse ears," buy them online ahead of time, Pavini said. "Wrap them up and surprise your child the morning of your theme-park adventure, so it still feels like a special treat."
She also recommends buying admission tickets online, which can be cheaper than at the gate. Look for ticket savings at warehouse club stores, coupon sites and by going weekdays, instead of crowded weekends. And consider annual passes, which can pay off in as little as two visits.
Cellphone savvy
If you're going overseas with a cellphone, be wary: Travelers unwittingly can rack up hundreds of dollars in roaming fees.
Call your cellphone carrier and ask about international calling plans. It can make the difference between paying $3.50 a minute in China for outgoing calls, for example, and paying 49 cents.
Perkins, who recently returned from a nine-country visit to Asia and western Europe, bought an inexpensive throwaway phone and switched out his U.S. SIM card.
If you're taking your own phone, "Make sure you turn off anything in your phone that (connects) to any Wi-Fi network.
"Shut down all of the automatic programs that keep updating and connecting your phone. If you're outside the country, it can kill you (in fees)," Perkins said.
And, he said, arrange to have family or business callers dial you: Incoming calls often are cheap, or free, compared with outgoing calls.

The nation of Malaysia is in two parts: Peninsular Malaysia (also called West Malaysia or Malaya) on the southern end of the Malay Peninsula and Malaysian Borneo (East Malaysia) on the island of Borneo roughly 700 km (450 mi) to the east. East Malaysia includes two former British colonies, Sarawak and Sabah, plus a smaller territory called Labuan. Another former British protectorate, Brunei, is independent. Sarawak was ruled from 1842 to 1946 by Sir James Brooke and his descendents, who were known as the "White Rajahs," while Sabah was controlled by the British North Borneo Company from 1881 to 1946. After a period as crown colonies, both regions became states of Malaysia in 1963.
The coast of Sarawak faces northwest on the South China Sea. Sabah occupies the northern tip of Borneo, facing northwest on the South China Sea and also northeast on the Sulu Sea. The independent state of Brunei is an enclave in northernmost Sarawak. The lighthouses of Sarawak and Sabah are mostly in remote areas, so they attract few visitors and very little is known about them. Information and photos would be very welcome.
Aids to navigation in Malaysia are the responsibility of the Marine Department (Jabatan Laut). Sarawak and Sabah formerly had their own marine departments, but they were merged with the Peninsular Malaya marine department in 2011. The Malay term for a lighthouse is rumah api; an island is a pulau and a cape is a tanjung.

Dordt education department earns 10-year accreditation
April 8, 2013
The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) recently awarded the highest level 10-year accreditation to the Dordt College education department.
ACSI noted that Dordt College is "passionately committed to a biblical perspective in all that they do," and explained that the education faculty is finding and sharing "promising practice."
One of the programs the association praised most highly is the Professional Development School (PDS) Model, which is a partnership project between the college's teacher education program and area Preschool through 8th-grade schools. The unique partnership is strengthening PK-8 learning, teacher preparation, and professional development. ACSI called the PDS initiative "an incredible opportunity for students and a game-changer for preparing pre-service teachers."
This is the first time ACSI has awarded accreditation to Dordt's education department. This accreditation further demonstrates the high quality of Dordt College's teacher education program.

When we turn the calendar page to September, thoughts of crisp weather and colorful leaves come to mind. Not whole grains. But September is Whole Grains Month, so get ready to add some flair to your sandwich, pasta dish, and breakfast cereal.
More and more Americans are saying yes to whole grains. Since 2010, roughly 55 percent of consumers have ditched white bread for whole-wheat or whole-grain varieties, according to the Shopping for Health 2012 Survey, released in July by the Food Marketing Institute and Prevention magazine. And 2010 also gave rise to something unprecedented: Sales of whole-wheat bread eclipsed sales of white bread, as noted by supermarket guru Phil Lempert.
Why the trend? Perhaps because consumers are becoming more aware of the health benefits of whole grains over white. Among the reasons to make the switch:
• Whole grains are chock full of fiber, key for proper digestion and bowel function. Aim for a product that has 5 grams of fiber or more per serving.
• They're heart-healthy. Soluble fibers in whole grains like oats and barley can lower levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, thereby reducing risk of heart disease.
• They help control diabetes. Whole grains are digested and absorbed more slowly than refined grains, which helps curtail spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels.
• They're packed with nutrients, including protein, B vitamins, calcium, folic acid, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, and antioxidants. The same can't be said for equivalent white products.
• They may help ward off cancer. Studies have associated whole-grain consumption with reduced risk of certain cancers, particularly colorectal.
• They're satiating. Whole grains stave off hunger better than refined grains do. If you're looking to lose weight—and keep it off—whole grains can be your ally.
But buyers beware: The bread aisle is notorious for food label fables. Don't fall for labels that say "100 percent wheat" or "wheat flour." Unless the label reads "100 percent whole wheat," "100 percent whole grain," or "whole wheat," you could be getting a product that's just white and stripped of important nutrients. "Multigrain" means the product contains more than one type of grain, but it may not contain any whole grains. Although "stone ground" may sound earthy and natural, it only means the grain has been coarsely ground, with refined flour often appearing as the first ingredient, as opposed to whole grain flour. Beware of the word "organic," too—this refers to the way the grain for the flour was grown, but says nothing about whether the grains within are whole.
Reach for products that list whole grain(s) as the first ingredient. Also look for those bearing the Whole Grain Stamp, signifying that a product contains at least half a serving (8 grams) of whole grains. (The stamp, a brainchild of the Whole Grains Council, can now be found on 7,500 products in 36 countries.)
Remember, however, that the average adult is encouraged to eat at least three servings of whole grain each day, so the stamp will only get you so far. Always flip that package over to check the how much sugar, fat, sodium, and calories the product packs. A whole-grain muffin can set you back 600 calories and be filled with other ingredients that could go against your grain.

Saga continues in Teays Valley
The Columbus Dispatch - April 04, 2012 11:13 AM
Remember Stacey Carna? The Ohio Supreme Court ruled today that she should be rehired as principal of a Teays Valley elementary school.
But let's recap, in case you've forgotten the twists and turns of the case. We first wrote about Carna in 2008 after the Teays Valley district removed her as principal at Ashville Elementary. Why did they remove her? Well, a group of secretaries, teachers and custodians at the school thought that Carna had tampered with students' answers on the state tests.
They set a (rather elaborate) trap to catch the alleged test-cheater. It included pushing crates against a cabinet in the test-storage room and measuring the distance they had been moved the next day. Read the details of that here.
The district agreed that she must have done it, alerted the state and removed her from her job. The Ohio Department of Education investigated and moved to suspend her educator licenses. Later in 2008, there was hearing.
A really, really long hearing. Five days,
19 witnesses, security-camera video clips, charts, photos and mountains of
other evidence. At the end, the hearing officer said the state couldn't prove that Carna did
anything wrong. In fact,
there was no proof that the tests had ever been tampered with.
But the case didn't end there. Carna has been fighting in courts since then to get her job back. Ultimately, it appears she wants the pay that she and her lawyers say she is entitled to. As today's story says, she's not sure she actually wants the job back.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - January 24, 1882
Diary Entry:
Tuesday, Jan 24, 1882 Bitterly cold this morning. Major said a neighbor told him it was 17 degrees below zero. I came away with the morning train. Every one was talking of the cold. The river was frozen over clear down and in the highlands a steamer, the "Miller" with a barge was frozen in. A passenger on the train said he reached ashore from her and that the clear water ice was six inches thick about her. As we passed the scene of the Spuyten Duyvil disaster the passengers pointed out the spot but could not detect a vestige of it; the brown grass did not even seemed crushed. They cleared it all carefully away and raked the spot over, I was told. It is a beautiful winter day, such an one as I love in the country. Went down to the foot of 11th St and ordered a cord of hickory wood for which I had to pay 16.50 and from there over to the Post Office beyond 3rd Av to mail six photographs of Col. Moores ranch which I have had taken. Have not painted since last Friday. Downing and I came over to my room and finished our braid by half past ten.

Many of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's proposals in his State of the State address to improve elementary and second education have been long discussed with little progress for the same reason the governor's education initiatives are being greeted with skepticism: cost.
Gov. Cuomo called for increased learning time either by extending the school year, lengthening the school day or a combination of both. He also called for full-day pre-kindergarten and creation of community schools in neediest areas to serve as a hub for a wide-range of services such as health care, nutrition, family counseling and other support services beyond schooling. But they come with a price tag.
The governor would leave to individual districts decisions about changes to an outdated school calendar linked to an agrarian economy either by lengthening the September-to-June school year or adding days during the year. An extended year will encounter resistance for cultural and social reasons, but the larger problem for districts will be paying for the increased salary and operating costs. As an incentive, though, Gov. Cuomo said the state would pay 100 percent of the increased costs.
The governor also offered state financial incentives to districts that extend pre-kindergarten programs to five hours a day. In neither case, however, did he elaborate on how long the incentive aid would be maintained nor how it would be paid for.
His proposal for improving teachers included a bar-type exam for new teachers as well as a $15,000 annual stipend for high-performing teachers to serve as master teachers to instruct other teachers.
Cautious districts will be concerned about how long state incentives will continue before their taxpayers are asked to pick up the costs.
Skeptical school officials also question new, targeted state aid incentives when they are cutting programs and staff now to balance budgets and are seeking additional state aid to support state and federal mandates.
School boards will have a difficult time justifying longer school years or school days at the same time they are telling parents and students they cannot afford high school advanced placement electives, music programs or sports.

To the Instructor
The readings in this block center around the problem of overuse of resources when no one has the clear responsibility for planning for the future and safeguarding of the resource. This classic problem in sustainability is referred to as "the tragedy of the commons" or, in economic terms, "negative externalities" and the problem of "public goods."
The readings also explore the response to that problem: proper stewardship of natural resources through ecosystem management.
A suggested approach for beginning the block is to ask students for examples from their personal lives and the local environment. You could keep two lists on the blackboard, one of failures to manage public resources and one of successfully managed public resources. For example, throwing trash in the streets is a failure to manage a public resource, while a group of students living together who share a common cooking area represents a successfully managed public resource. A more relevant example for this block would be a community overfishing their coastal waters versus a community that restricts access to fishing grounds to maintain a self-sustaining level of fish.
If the sustainability game "Drain or Sustain?" was played in Part 1, students should be reminded of how it worked. As time allows, the students may be invited to play this sustainability game again at the end of this block, with the alteration that each group is encouraged first to agree on a resource management plan.
This block includes two new sustainability issues: Land and Water, and returns to Forests and Oceans & Seas, focusing on timber removal and fishing. You are encouraged to introduce material on local resource conflicts and to focus on the resources that are most geographically relevant. For example, land in areas threatened with desertification, forests in Central Africa, or oceans & seas in coastal states.
Some countries in Africa have enough water, most however do not. It is an unevenly distributed resource that must be managed very-wisely. Depletion and pollution of water resources cannot be afforded. Efficient, small-scale supply and irrigation methods must be maximized. The Sustainability Strategies provide examples of such methods. Through this module students should come to appreciate the seriousness of the problem and be knowledgeable about ways water can be managed efficiently at the local level.
Water Assignment Questions
Interconnections: Water & Health: Why is access to clean water important for improving human health in Africa?
(from AEO 2) Inadequate sanitation resulting from polluted water and limited water supplies leads to waterborne and water-related diseases such as malaria, cholera, and diarrhea. Poor sanitation and unsafe water are leading causes of death among children. A significant proportion of the urban population and more than half of the rural population in Africa still lack access to water and sanitation.
Interconnections: Water & Agriculture: Discuss irrigation's role in increasing agricultural productivity in Africa.
(from Water and Food Security) In sub-Saharan Africa, only 4% of agricultural land is irrigated. In most crops, irrigation increases productivity by 100 to 400 percent. Freeing women from time-consuming water-carrying also allows more investment in market gardens. While large scale irrigation projects have high environmental and financial costs, smaller scale irrigation projects such as water harvesting techniques and using treadle pumps and motorized pumps are both affordable and sustainable.
Water: List some of the important challenges for effective water management in Africa.
(from AEO 2, Gender Dimensions) Enforcement of legislation for water management, institutional know-how, reliable data on available water supplies, balancing the needs of different water users, international cooperation on transboundary river basins, the participation of women, effective cost-recovery charges.
In this module students learn about threats to land such as degradation, desertification, mining activities, as well as problems due to land ownership and tenure systems. With this knowledge, the students then explore land management approaches and, in the Sustainability Strategies, a variety of ways to manage, conserve, and restore land resources.
An out of classroom activity to consider is a visit to a Geographical Information System (GIS) laboratory so that students can observe land change through mapping technology.
Land Assignment Questions
- Land: Land degradation and desertification are major problems in Africa. What is land degradation and why is it a problem?
- (fromLand Degradation - Global Overview) Land degradation refers to decreases in the productivity of land as a result of human activities. Soil erosion is a major factor. Causes of land degradation include deforestation, overgrazing, agricultural mismanagement, and urban construction.
- (from Land Degradation – Africa) Dryland degradation, also referred to as desertification, may affect 46% of African land. Land degradation is a serious problem for poor farmers, who face decreasing yields.
Land & Poverty- How does the pattern of land distribution contribute to rural poverty in Africa? Recalling issue materials from previous weeks, why does poverty in turn lead to land degradation?
(from Land Tenure – Africa and What is Land Tenure) Access to land is a major determinant of rural poverty and food security. It allows households to produce food for home consumption and surplus to sell for cash income. Land is highly inequitably distributed in Africa, often as a result of colonial policies, and land reform programs to increase equity have had mixed success. The poor are confined to marginal land and are forced to sacrifice long-term sustainability to vital short-term needs.
Land- Why is secure tenure important for environmental sustainability?
(from Land Tenure – Africa and Land Reform and the Drylands) Secure tenure encourages farmers to invest in sustainable management of their land, such as planting trees, using improved soil practices, and improving pasture because they will reap the benefits of their investment. Experience has shown that secure tenure creates incentives for conservation and productive investment.
Land- Explain how customary systems in dryland areas manage land resources. Does the "tragedy of the commons" occur? How should land tenure reform be conducted to improve sustainability?
(from Land Reform and the Drylands) In the customary system, resource use is governed by the community, often represented by a group of elders. Customary systems allow for multiple systems of resource use to intersect without coming into conflict, such as herders grazing their livestock in cleared agricultural fields, and include commonly held resources. The tragedy of the commons does occur where governments have undermined these traditional arrangements. A traditional approach to land tenure reform was to advocate a modern system of registration and land titles. However, this approach ignores the benefits of the customary system, and may result in acquisition of resources by those with the best connections during the titling process. A hybrid approach combining modern and customary elements should be advocated and pursued in consultation with the local community.
While in Ecosystems (Block 1) forests were explored in terms of their value as an ecosystem, here in the Economics of Ecosystems, forests are examined in terms of how valuable forest resources can be properly managed. At the end of the module students should understand what factors make forest management difficult and, by review of the Sustainability Strategies, how these difficulties are being overcome.
Forests (Review) Assignment Questions
Forests: Characterize the forest cover in your region. What causes of deforestation are most relevant locally?
(from AEO 2) Responses will vary by region. Refer to graphs and tables in the AEO report. Major causes of deforestation include expansion of agricultural land, timber harvesting, fuel gathering, and natural disasters. In some countries, reforestation efforts are significant.
Oceans and Seas
In Ecosystems (Block 1) oceans and seas were examined in terms of their value. Here in Economics of Ecosystems, oceans and seas—especially mangrove forests and coral reefs, sustainable harvesting limits and other conservation and preservation approaches—are explored to see how such strategies can insure the viability of these saltwater resources.
Oceans and Seas (Review) Assignment Questions
Oceans &Seas: Characterize the trend in fish catches in your region. What factors are driving this trend?
(from AEO 2) Responses will vary by region. Refer to graphs of reported catches since 1980. Major factors include habitat destruction, overfishing, and growth of aquaculture.
Economics of Ecosystems Discussion Questions
- Several broad approaches to managing natural resources seem to be assigning individual property rights (strengthening land tenure, fishing quotas), encouraging better communal responsibility (community forest management, awareness campaigns), or government management (water policies). Which approach do you personally find more appealing? Which approach generally works better in your community? Which approaches work best in different situations?
- How do equitable distribution and sustainable use reinforce one another in natural resource management?

Napoleon Dynamite
Reviewed by Bill Jenkins
[1] For many of us, high school was a time in our lives we'd rather not dwell on too much. Embarrassed by our own bodies, by the bodies of those lovelier and more athletic than ours, by bullies, by the humiliations of gym class, by speaking in front of our peers, by working at our first jobs, by love, and by our families, we suffered through those few short years, glad to come out relatively whole. The story of Napoleon Dynamite, whose name is only a little more embarrassing than he is himself, works out as a comic reversal of all that can make a misfit teen want to run and hide from the world
[2] Napoleon is a tall, lanky high schooler who wears moon boots, sports large glasses and a red afro, and nearly always avoids eye contact with anyone, even his few acquaintances. He lives with his grandmother and older brother, Kip, a slightly built computer nerd who chats with women online and dreams of developing lethal martial arts skills. As a teenager, Napoleon faces the typical perils of small town life, including finding someone to go with him to the prom. In the midst of his isolation, he befriends the boy who is to become his only true pal, Pedro Sanchez, a recent immigrant from Mexico. Pedro decides to run for school president, and his alliance with Napoleon helps both of them to achieve a measure of self-respect in their otherwise constricted lives.
[3] The pains of late adolescence are familiar to many Americans, but this movie goes far beyond a comic rendering of teenage awkwardness. The quirky cinematic style, the dead-pan delivery of simple lines, and the offbeat, low key humor of most scenes take Napoleon Dynamite beyond any familiar territory, investing Napoleon's journey into self-confidence and wholeness with a kind of archetypal resonance.
[4] The Mormon writer and director, James Hess, learned filmmaking while a student at Brigham Young University, and though this may account for the lack of profanity and explicit teenage sexuality in the movie, Napoleon Dynamite evinces no propagandistic intention. Religion of any kind remains muted, with Pedro's Catholicism being the only obvious exception. For instance, Pedro promises in his campaign speech to place images of the holy Saints in the school hallways. Neither mocking nor affirming Mexican Catholic piety, such a scene exemplifies the rather random quality the characters' lives.
[5] The movie neither promotes the Mormon faith nor even shows much of any overt religious iconography or speech (unaccountably, Uncle Rico wears a cross even though his highest aspiration is to travel back in time to 1982 when he could help win a high school football game). Yet even with no overt religious themes or images, Napoleon Dynamite creates a sense of peace by its end. Napoleon risks total failure and abysmal embarrassment in front of the entire school by dancing, surrendering his own dignity to make up the lack of a skit required as part of Pedro's presidential campaign. Napoleon dances flawlessly and effortlessly, reversing everyone's expectations of him for the sake of his friend.
[6] The end of the movie amplifies this success by arriving at a kind of comedic closure, comedic in the traditional narrative sense. Napoleon plays tetherball with his new girlfriend, although he had played it alone before; Uncle Rico, the prideful athletic has-been, accepts with humility the friendship of the girl on the bike [who?]; Grandma is out of the hospital and back home doting on her beloved llama; and obnoxious Kip gets married to a big, beautiful African American woman whom he met online and who inspires Napoleon's "sweet" dance moves that win the election for Pedro.[7] Napoleon Dynamite demonstrates how a movie filled with ostensibly secular themes can shade into a satisfying narrative that produces a sense of balance and harmony. The movie is not mawkishly sentimental, yet neither does it deal with tragic depth or grand ideas. Instead, it manages to delight and to satisfy in ways that few movies about teen life can by showing how it is within our utterly ordinary lives that we can discover signals of transcendence.

Skip to comments.Roberts Should Be Impeached and Removed From the Court (Vanity)
Posted on 06/29/2012 4:01:22 PM PDT by rpage3
First, an apology for the millionth vanity here...
It has become clear to me that what Justice Roberts has done is so shameful and such an outright trampling on our constitution and theft of our liberty that he should be impeached and be removed from office. In an otherwise sane world where this document still meant something, he would be impeached and if the Republicans have any spine they'd do it. This, "cut off your nose to spite your face" wizardy (that is, trample the constitution in order to save the reputation of the court) is the last straw in what has been an enduring attack on our freedom. Enough; draw the damn line here and now.
If the opinions of Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito and even Kennedy could not sway Justice Roberts in a case which has such tremendous implications for our country; then, there is clearly no hope for the man; he cannot be reformed and he must go.
The ruling must be overturned.
I honestly think he was either bribed or blackmailed.
Either is grounds enough to remove him.
You're correct, we cannot really impeach the guy. All I want is the chance to grab him by his super-duper black robe, look him square in the eyes, and ask him,"What the H3LL were you thinking?! You just DESTROYED my country and what it stood for!"
Some would say he handed the Republicans control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency for a generation.
He limited the commerce clause, he labeled obamacare for what it really is: obamatax, and he has given Conservatives a real opportunity to use reconciliation to reverse it since it was reconciliation that gave birth to this monster act. The more I read the SCHMART PEOPLE studies, the more I am starting to realize 1) Roberts is a genius and 2) he works in a process of decades as opposed to what you want: instant gratification.
Just out of curiosity, what impeachable rule or law would he be libel under? Not agreeing or disagreeing, just an inquiring mind that wants to know. ;-)
What smart people as opposed to the knee jerkers like you are saying.
He simply gave the Democrats and Obama a way to tax their way out of the mess they created.
He just might like that. Ten bucks says Roberts is a closeted fruit cake.
i suppose it helps to vent your spleen but if judicial activism were an impeachable offense, there would be a whole lot more idiots kicked out of SCOTUS.
Did you see the posts from earlier today, where Roberts was joking about hiding out in a secure place? That doesn't sound like a man under duress to me. He simply became and activist judge and betrayed his oath all on his own.
Impeach him for what? Expressing his opinion? Following his job description and writing a judicial opinion you disagree with? Impeach him on what basis? Your proposal is so much cow manure. I despise the man's judicial opinion as much as anyone else, but I refuse to give up my brain to hysteria. Your proposal makes as much sense to me as the teenage girls who get on buses and subways and decide to cut someone up. It makes as much sense as an honor killing. Grow up. Quit throwing tantrums.
Maybe not...this is now a budgetary law, and it concerns budgetary matters, including taxes (like the Bush tax cuts), 51 votes are sufficient to put the law on hold for 10 years.
We can make this happen, can't we
YES! And Kagan at the same time for not recusing herself. SHE WROTE THE LAW!
From a Constitutional perspective, anything the House wants and two thirds of the Senate will go along with.
In keeping with the spirit of the Constitution, judges must be allowed to keep their positions as long as they exercise "good behavior". It would not be unreasonable under the spirit of the Constitution to regard a violation of one's oath of office as "bad behavior".
To be sure, reckless impeachment of judges would make the SCOTUS even more overtly political than it already is, but it might also help wake up the public to something very important: the fact that what the Constitution means, and what a well-behaved court says it means, will be one and the same, does not imply that the Constitution always means what the court says it means. The Court has no actual authority over anyone other than the actual parties to the cases brought before it. If the Court overturns a ruling by a lower court that says a statute in unconstitutional, that doesn't mean the statute is constitutional. Rather, it conveys a message that any future lower court rulings which say the statute is unconstitutional are likely to be overturned, and that judges who don't want their rulings overturned should avoid issuing rulings that will be. That's it.
If five judges say one thing and four say another, the ruling by the five judges will be binding upon the actual parties to the case. On the other hand, if the ruling by the four judges cites reasonable constitutional justification and the ruling by the five judges does not, those who are sworn to uphold the Constitution should recognize that Supreme Court edicts are not superior to the Supreme Law of the Land.
Roberts was blackmailed by Obama and the 'Rats for the illegal adoption of his kids.
Thanks, that helps. Gives me cause to do more research.
Battle is tedious, some are lost, but nothing is lost - there are still things that can be change. War is still on, I have written many times, make sure you have true conservatives in two Chambers of your Government, and clean the house your style.
Let logic prevail, not emotions, none of this you are doomed, yes its painful to watch, but by watching and crying, nothing will be done.
Only you together as people of Constitution Republic can do this, yes there is this Electoral Votes, so ....who represents you to make a difference...You will get those if you put your heads together friends.
Last laughter belongs to you if you put yourselves together and go on attack, now that is official and I new it is a tax gives you plenty of ammunition, just calculate probability and go with Sun Tzu style - knock them out in their own turf...Enemy made fatal mistake use it for your advantage with logic, and no pity.
I said the same thing several times since yesterday. But I didn't need a vanity to do it. Bravo!
Don't just single out Roberts. There were 5 bad judgements.
Don't just single out Roberts. There were 5 bad judgements.
It's important to note that when the Constitution was written, a politician's job was considered a duty rather than an entitlement. The Congress would not by itself have any authority to punish people for things, but replacing someone who fails to perform his duties with someone who will perform them faithfully is not a punishment. Indeed, I'm somewhat uncomfortable with this "contempt of Congress" business. What Congress should be doing is demanding that Holder either demonstrate that he is faithfully executing the duties of his office, or resign so the position can be filled by someone who will. If Holder persistently refuses to do either of those things, Congress should impeach.
Gonna have to hold our breath, vote does our feckless leaders and hope they will remove this travesty by its roots.
Wish in one hand.....
If it can be shown that he was bribed or threatened, that would be impeachable. Or if it can be proven that his seizure condition and medication has impaired his judgment and therefore making him unfit for duty, he could be removed. I don't think that would take impeachment, just him stepping down under pressure. But all of this is a heavy burden of proof which I don't think can be met.
My, aren't you the arrogant newbie? There aren't any damn silver linings in this thing. Smart people understand that.
It's time for a revolution, and by that I mean it's time we stop obeying the Federal government on such ridiculous issues, and forcing a confrontation with them. It's up to them how far they want to take it. Voting will get us no where when it comes to federal elections. Voting for people who are willing to confront the federal government in state elections are the only thing that matters. Our federal government must be destructed and rebuilt, because it's past the point of being fixed. We can accept living under tyranny, or we can accept doing what must be done to save our nation. Our constitution means nothing, our courts rule on personal political opinion, and even the best of our leaders can't stop this tyranny. We aren't sure we can even defeat Obamacare, and we were in serious trouble before this was even an issue.
Roberts should be impeached and removed from office for incompetence and sophistry unbefitting of a SC justice. Obama and Holder should be impeached as well. We all know the dems will prevent anyone from being removed from office. But what is the harm in having hearings and exposing this crap to the masses?
I never understood all the excitement over Roberts when he was nominated anyway. Sam Alito is my favorite justice by far and should have been given the head position of the court as he always follows the Constitution to the letter.
My theory is that Roberts was blackmailed or threatened and threw the left a curve. He acted like a hostage who is made to say how much he hates his country but loves his captors, so the hostage sends a hidden message to let us know that he is saying these things under duress.
To continue my theory, Roberts was threatened to go along with Obama and the left and vote to uphold Obamacare. He did, but to screw them over, he didn't vote for the Commerce Clause provision, but instead called it constitutional because it was a tax, thereby giving us a gift. Now Romney can use this as a campaign issue to say that Obama and the Democrats gave us the biggest tax hike in the history of the world. They didn't want this in an election year. Look how Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg reacted to his ruling. She actually wrote a dissent for the Majority! Now I'm not a lawyer, but I know that that is an unusual happening in court proceedings.
I believe that this was Roberts saying to Obama and his band of merry men, OK, you will get your precious health care law upheld, but it will be on my terms.
It is the only rational thing I can think of for this irrational act. Either that, or he's nuts!
Either way, doing something so destructive purely to generate backlash is stupid.
That good occasionally can come from evil in no way justifies evil. If the senate changes hands Roberts should be impeached for moral cowardice. Even if you have to spell it "jaywalking".
Hey, what about the other 4? If it wasn't for Roberts, we wouldn't have our 2nd Amendment.
If so it should be brought to the public. If he was literally blackmailed for something, and decided he would make a nation destroying decision against our constitution to protect himself then it should be brought to the surface. Whatever it takes to bring out anything that played an influence on his decision should be made public. Regardless of why he made this unconstitutional decision he should be ruined for his unconstitutional act.
Not while Obama is in the White House
They might say that, but they would be wrong. If the obscene excesses of FDR corruption only led to more re-elections and more corruption, why think this cynical piece of crap will suddenly turn 70 million grasshoppers into worker ants?
So far even the presidency is still a toss up. Remember Carville's book in 2008? gloating about "40 years" of democrat dominance? That lasted all of two years.
Bear in mind--the huge majority of voters have no idea what all the fuss is about, and don't care.
Cannot be by the Court. And the lack of any intelligence on the conservative GOP side makes it impossible to do a damn thing. We are toast on this criminal inspired health care which includes unlimited corruption that has nothing to do with health care. Only overturning would be to win the Senate and Presidency keep the House and kick the bill in the ass.
Everyone of them who violated the constitution for the sake of their sick toltaltarian politics in this Obamacare case, should be impeached. But that is not going to happen.
Yeah, let's impeach him. Better yet let's make sure it's before the election. That way Obama can nominate someone and we can replace someone who rules with Scalia 90% of the time with a new judge like Kagan or Sontomoyer.
Over the last 200 years, Congress has used impeachment for all types of offensives, so yes, you could "impeach" Roberts for liberal activism and failing up to hold constitutional law. But if you were successful and removed him, Obama would name his replacement. How
Over the last 200 years, Congress has used impeachment for all types of offensives, so yes, you could "impeach" Roberts for liberal activism and failing up to hold constitutional law. But if you were successful and removed him, Obama would name his replacement. How would that solve anything?
We have procedures to fire or remove politicians and judges from office, but we can't even get rid of people like Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters or Eric Holder so I don't see how we would have the courge to impeach a supreme court justice no matter what they did.
You cant stay tied up in courts while being threatened with funds being withheld, and being forced to do exactly what the federal government demands forever unless you accept tyranny. Its obvious what our founding fathers would think of our current federal government, and this is exactly the reason they gave us the right to destroy the government when it becomes something it was never meant to be. Its time to start ignoring these demands, and let the federal government give us back our freedom, or let them escalate the situation.
Of Roberts, one might ask that old liberal Howard Baker line: What did GWB know about the real Roberts and when did he know it?
Yea, maybe Roberts has Stockholm Syndrome? Maybe Harriet Miers would have been more reliable, but who knows?
The Constitution was put in place with its limitations, in part, to KEEP America from digging a "political hole" for itself like with this non-tax tax or penalty or unicorn food. Where the Constitution has done that, it's the duty of the Supreme Court to echo and uphold it. Four gallant souls on it did. Even Kennedy!
Is it possible to impeach a Justice for mental incompetence? I'm wondering about Roberts and the effect of those seizure pills now.
Miers was derided as being a pedestrian lawyer, but I'd rather have five Mierses than the cabal that rubber stamped Obamacare. As it is, she'd have been in what is Alito's seat had she survived the storm, so it wouldn't have helped with the Roberts problem.
We would unless we all decided we didn't want to fight for something granted us under our Constitution. If we are just going to follow the frivolous opinions of courts then we should give up now. The federal government cannot be stopped, or fixed, at this point. It's time for it to be dissolved and rebuilt. It's pointless to keep fighting an obvious losing battle within the corrupt system.

Kobe Bryant Scolds Fan For Using 'Gay,' Defends His Wife
Kobe Bryant may have spent as much time defending on Twitter as he did on the basketball court recently.
After a user called another "gay," Kobe replied;
Just letting you know@PacSmoove @pookeo9 that using "your gay" as a way to put someone down ain't ok! #notcool delete that out ur vocab— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) February 11, 2013
It was then pointed out that Kobe once called an NBA ref a derogatory word a few years ago during a game. He responded, "exactly! That wasn't cool and was ignorant on my part. I own it and learn from it and expect the same from others."
However, that wasn't the end of Kobe's trials on Twitter. A few weeks ago he was forced to defend his wife Vanessa. The two almost got a divorce, and rumors were swirling that she could get as much as $100 million in a settlement.
"Morning coffee with my wife @LadyVB24. Vanilla latte for me, passion tea for her," Kobe innocently posted one morning. A fan replied, "but... #SheWasntWithYouShootingInTheGym." The tweet is in reference to a Drake song blasting Vanessa for seeking the huge sum in alimony.
Kobe shot back, "No, she wasn't. She was busy raising our kids."

Homemade Marlborough Bun
Marlborough Buns are mysterious things. There is virtually no information on them and they seem to only make an occasional appearance in Waitrose and M&S stores. Admittedly, I am still unable to shed any light of the buns origins but at least I now have my own recipe so you can recreate these delightful things in the comfort of your own home.
Well I may be a tad bias - goes for the whole article really - but I thought the buns looked delightful. The dough had a lovely golden hue to it and the cherries, sultanas and currants contributed a beautiful speckling of black and red. Moreover the sugar glaze gave the buns a nice finish and the sugar crystals added further texture and intrigue. Inside, the buns were lovely and white with more colourful speckling from the dried fruit. Mouth watering stuff.
I can honestly say these were the finest tasting Marlborough Buns I've had. Freshly made, the dough was still slightly warm and delightfully light and sticky from the sugar glaze.
Taking a bite, the dough yielded softly whilst the sugar crystals delivered a crunch; moreover, the mixed peel contributed plenty of citrus notes that worked well against the sweetness of the other ingredients. However, to fully enjoy these in my opinion you should slice them in half and spread on some unsalted butter as the creaminess this lends is utterly irresistible against the other tastes and textures.
Recipe: See here.
Have you considered...?
Not something to eat everyday but the buns are energy dense and full of natural wholesome ingredients, including plenty of fruit.
