Boehner: House should sue Obama

RE: Boehner: House should sue Obama
I've found Butthead to be rather more Dionysian than Beavis. And of course, Beavis captures the Apollonian.

Boehner on the other hand, is a wussified dick.

The system did not fail. The people would have to VOTE out the nonsense in Congress(refer to the 10th Amendment). I fully think, that our system has been hijacked by some zealots calling themselves by several names and labels.

A system that allows itself to be manipulated by zealots into dysfunction is a failed system.

You have to be politically naive to insist that our problems will be solved through popular vote. The same failed system has ensured that we are only given a false choice that is but a different side of the same coin. You can choose whether heads or tails is displayed, but the coin itself remains largely unchanged. The only assurance here is that the value of the coin will depreciate.

I can't be certain what your point is regarding the 10th amendment. It was largely considered unnecessary at the time of adoption and has been effectively neutered by the Commerce Clause since.

Cato,

Thanks for the reply.

1. I disagree with you concerning the popular vote. It was the popular vote which eliminated two parties in the past: Whig and Federalist parties.

2. The assumption that the 'hijacking' of a system makes the whole system flawed is not a correct conclusion. The system is not depreciated because of a few or many. The value changes when people decided to get involved. "Volume" is referenced here.

3. The recent decisions by the Judicial branch since 1995 have reversed the role of the Commerce Clause concerning social issues.

I do agree, however, that the president has become too powerful of a position.



It has but mainly because the country is trying to govern itself by a 225+ year old document which was written for a white-male agrarian nation and which has been jury-rigged repeatedly in an effort to keep the old horse wheezing along.

On the one hand we need a constitutional re-write but on the other hand can you imagine what a despicable piece of shit would emerge from the pens of these republibertarianeo-conazi bastards?

The future should be(and will be):

1. Progressive Socialist Party vs. Democratic Federalist Party

2. The GOP(Conservative), the Tea Party & Libertarian view disappears because people decided to vote reasonably.

3. The shift of popular consciousness allows for the expression of positive law legislation rather than negative law legislation.(Example: You have a Right to..., rather than the gov. has no right to...).

Of course, utilizing the Two Party system paradigm.
