The Impeachment Scenario

The Impeachment Scenario

Let's say the Republican traitors refuse to raise the debt ceiling (and yes, my Republican friends, I consider that to be an act of treason against the United States for the Constitution of the United States requires you to see to it that debts of the country are paid). What does the President do then? I honestly don't know. But Professor Eric Posner reviews the ways Obama could justify unilaterally raising the debt ceiling.

Scalia is being killed in the real world for his crazy-ass interview with New York Magazine. I'm loving seeing coverage like this on blogs like TheSuperficial which is a high traffic entertainment oriented blog.
(The interview) has already produced a goddamn orgy of quotes from him claiming to having secret gay friends to repudiating his own moderations. So here’s my favorite part where in the year 2013, a man who holds one of the most powerful and influential posts in our government talks about what he thinks The Devil is up to these days instead of possessing people and pigs like he used to in real life.

BREAKING: Jeff Christopher’s Idiotic & Vainglorious Claims Smacked Down by Supreme Court

I'm sure this will be appealed to God, who is the only judge Christopher recognizes.
Conclusion The judgment of the Superior Court is affirmed.
We hold that the term “conservator of the peace” in the 1776 Delaware Constitution and each successive Delaware Constitution has always been used only to describe a changing variety of public officials.

In other words: Stop trying to be a cop and do the job you were hired to do you idiot.
Republican Shutdown and Debt Default Apocalypse Open Thread, Day 6.

Republican Shutdown and Debt Default Apocalypse Open Thread, Day 6.

House Republican Ted Yoho (FL), a member of the treasonous Tea Party that is driving this Republican Shutdown and Debt Default, said this yesterday about the affects of a debt default.
"I think, personally, it would bring stability to the world markets."
Morons. These traitors are literally morons. And for the record, the world's markets disagree violently with that assessment from the Teabagger.
Can Chip Flowers Manage His Department’s Budget? All Signs Point to No

Can Chip Flowers Manage His Department’s Budget? All Signs Point to No

In a bold act of *disclosure* this past Friday afternoon, at 4:30pm, State Treasurer Chip Flowers released his so-called "definitive and final report" on the problems his Agency has had with one employee in using her credit card in accordance with State regulations. This is a great example of the Friday afternoon data dump -- in which you hope that members of the media won't pay much attention and print your spin on this item. The Treasurer's "report" was dumped so late on Friday afternoon, that the press release that came with this thing didn't even get posted to the website yet. But perhaps this report was rushed out in an attempt to counterweight the News Journal article today that provides a big window into how mismanaged the expenses on Ms. Erika Benner's state-issued credit card were.
