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. That generic collective description has never defined the powers of any specifically named constitutional office holder. The Sheriff’s argument to the contrary is without merit.
In other words: Stop trying to be a cop and do the job you were hired to do you idiot.

The Kenyan-Muslim-Brotherhood-President Bagged Another Couple AQ Leaders

Obama just keeps kicking ass and taking names on the defense front. Close on the heels of his victory in Syria, he has acted boldly to protect the USA from terrorist attacks being hatched in Somalia and Libya.
(CNN) -- In two raids nearly 3,000 miles apart, U.S. military forces went after two high-value targets over the weekend. And while officials have yet to say whether the operations were coordinated or directly related, they show Washington's reach, capability and willingness to pursue alleged terrorists. One operation took place Saturday in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, when U.S. forces captured Abu Anas al Libi, an al Qaeda leader wanted for his role in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. In the second raid, a team of U.S. Navy SEALs in southern Somalia targeted a top leader of Al-Shabaab, which was behind last month's mall attack in Kenya. The SEALs came under fire and had to withdraw before they could confirm whether they killed their target, a senior U.S. official said.

Paul Krugman of the day – Part 2

Krug gives the clear headed, but unfortunate news that the GOP will not allow a debt ceiling increase because the teabags who call the shots would feel "disrespected" and walk away utter losers - something they are not willing to do. Also - President Obama will not budge on the debt ceiling because our system of government is at stake. So...
