A few of you may have caught the interview on ( sorry ) ABC with Democratic Senator Bob Menendez during that interview they failed to ask the good senator about his fondness for under aged Dominican girls. The story broke months ago but was largely ignored or suppressed until after the election including the story that the good senator had working in his office an ILLEGAL ALIEN sex offender that the obama administration attempted to keep under wraps until after the election. I don't see what the problem was as the democrats have no difficulty in electing convicted felons .... impeached judges, dopers and other ner do wells. In fact a convicted child molester is planning to run for the seat he had to give up back in the 90's when the charges against him came out .... a seat that was won by jessie jackson jr. until he resigned under an FBI investigation and questions concerning his sanity were raised. Well it turns out that the good senator is co sponsor of our newest amnesty bill. I thought well that's convenient for him he may not have to travel all the way to Thailand ...err sorry, the Dominican Republic for a little under aged love.

Can’t Make This Up… Dem Under Investigation in Underage Dominican Hooker Scandal – Leads Efforts to Ease Immigration Restraints
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 28, 2013, 12:37 PM
On Friday the news broke that the FBI has been investigating top Democratic Senator Bob Menendez for having sex with underage Dominican hookers.
Today we find out he’s on the “Gang of Eight” Senate immigration committee.
Liberals always have a problem with reality .... whats the old saying ...when seconds matter the police are just minutes away but liberals insist on living in the world not as it is but as they wish it where .....and dragging those of us who know better into their idiocy as well and the problem with arguing with idiots is they drag you down to their level ..... then they beat you with experience
I think its an idea whose time has come. Scott Walker emerged from a bitter fight over his successful efforts to limit union power more popular after surviving a re call election and with more votes than than in his initial election and not by just a few but an increase by several % points. He now presides over a state that now has a 125 million rainy day fund and a projected budget surplus of over 400 million. He authored a proposed tax cut in a state that before his election was looking at budget deficits as far as the eye could see. All this sprang from his effort to curb the unions reach and ability to pick the tax payers pockets. Why not Pa as well ?
The Keystone to Bringing Jobs Back to PA
Right-to-work legislation introduced in Pennsylvania
Six
GOP lawmakers on Tuesday introduced a proposal to make Pennsylvania,
the “Keystone State,” the nation’s 25th right-to-work state.
The legislation, which would end the longstanding practice of
forcing employees to join unions as a condition of work, has stalled
several times over the past decade. The bill’s sponsors say new laws in
Michigan and Indiana forced the state’s hand.
“The needs of our economy dictate that it must be adopted at some
point in time,” said state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe. “The victory of
right-to-work in Michigan and Indiana certainly thrust the spotlight on
it and made the General Assembly look it more seriously than the past.”
Pennsylvania is one of the most heavily unionized states in the country with more than 700,000 workers belonging to organized labor groups. That is nearly 100,000 more union members than in Michigan.
The advent of right-to-work in the traditionally labor-friendly
Midwest and Rust Belt has left policymakers scrambling to catch up,
said Nate Benefield, director of policy analysis at the free-market
Commonwealth Foundation.
“Indiana and Michigan are states that we directly compete with,” he
said. “We’re going to have to evolve to remain competitive and it’s
also a great opportunity for us to outcompete the northeast.”
If Pennsylvania passes right-to-work, it will be the first state to
do so in the northeast. That could give it an economic advantage over
neighboring New York and New Jersey, which lead the nation in union
membership as a percentage of the workforce, advocates of right to work
legislation said.
“We’re playing catch-up to Indiana and Michigan, but our immediate
neighbors, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland are even less competitive
than Pennsylvania is,” Benefield said. “I think right-to-work is a big
part to improving our business climate.”
Restricting the use of compulsory union dues also could deal a blow to union influence.
Indiana experienced a dramatic decline in union membership after
passing right-to-work in February. Nine percent of state workers
belonged to union in 2012, down from 11.3 percent in 2011, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Supporters of the legislation point out that Pennsylvania also saw
union membership drop and blamed this in part to a declining private
sector economy.
“We are sitting on all of these resources—natural gas, shale,
connection to the great lakes—but history has shown that we’re not
creating enough jobs to keep our young people here; they’re going to
right-to-work states to find jobs,” Metcalfe said. “The union status
quo attitude has hampered our ability to create jobs.”
Pennsylvania lost more than 300,000 net residents between 1990 and
2008. That is one of the worst rates in the country, according to the
state’s Commonwealth Foundation. Benefield said improving the overall economy could reinvigorate Pennsylvania’s unions.
“When you have right-to-work, you expect members to leave the union,
but when you bleed jobs because of a struggling economy, you bleed
union jobs, too,” Benefield said. “Right-to-work states have faster
economic growth, higher GDP, and higher job growth—those are good for
all workers in the long-term.”
The GOP will have one obstacle in getting right-to-work through,
however. Republican Gov. Tom Corbett said in December that he would not
pursue such legislation in 2013, adding that the state “lacked the political will.” Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder made similar statements earlier in his term before reversing himself during the lame duck session.
Metcalfe said he believes that Corbett will sign the legislation if it reaches his desk.
“Over the last two years he’s invested himself in very little. He
signed good legislation, but only because we’ve had good leadership in
the legislature,” Metcalfe said. “He hasn’t used the bully pulpit in
too many issues, so he’s leaving this to us as he does with most
issues.”
He was told this was unconstitutional but went ahead with it anyway
Court: Obama appointments are unconstitutional
Federal appeals court rules Obama recess appointments to labor board are unconstitutional
By Sam Hananel, Associated Press | Associated Press – 7 mins ago
WASHINGTON (AP) —
A federal appeals court has ruled that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a labor relations panel.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit says Obama did not have the power to make recess appointments last year to the National Labor Relations Board.
Obama claims he acted properly because the Senate was away for the holidays. But the court says the Senate technically stayed in session when lawmakers gaveled in and out every few days for so-called "pro forma" sessions.
GOP lawmakers used the tactic specifically to prevent Obama from
using his recess power to fill vacancies in an agency they claimed was
too pro-union.
The Obama administration is expected to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
Appeals court unanimously rebukes Obama on recess appointments
posted at 11:31 am on January 25, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
It took more than a year,
but a federal appeals court has finally caught up with Barack Obama and
his unilateral declaration of a Congressional recess. In an
embarrassing rebuke, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Obama violated the Constitution by making appointments while the Senate considered itself in session:
President Barack Obama violated
the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a
labor relations panel, a federal appeals court panel ruled Friday.
A three-judge panel of the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said that Obama did not have the
power to make three recess appointments last year to the National Labor
Relations Board.
And as the AP also points out, the decision was unanimous … and embarrassing:
The unanimous decision is an embarrassing setback for
the president, who made the appointments after Senate Republicans spent
months blocking his choices for an agency they contended was biased in
favor of unions.
The ruling means that a full year of work from the NLRB will go down
the tubes, if the Supreme Court upholds this ruling. The three
appointments allowed the panel to form the quorum necessary to pass
decisions. Now every ruling made by the NLRB will be delegitimized as
soon as those harmed by the rulings take this into court. What a mess
— and an unnecessary mess at that:
The Obama administration is expected to appeal the
decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but if it stands, it means hundreds
of decisions issued by the board over more than a year are invalid. It
also would leave the five-member labor board with just one validly
appointed member, effectively shutting it down. The board is allowed to
issue decisions only when it has at least three sitting members.
It wasn’t just the three appointments to the NLRB, either. Obama
appointed Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, whose appointment ran out when the 112th Session of Congress
expired earlier this month. The appointment is being challenged in a
separate case but in the same circuit, which means we can expect a
similar ruling. Obama re-nominated Cordray to the post yesterday:
Four days into his second term, President Obama renewed a fight from his first term when he renominated Richard Cordray for head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
At a news conference this afternoon, Obama announced he was throwing
Cordray, the man currently serving in the post thanks to a recess
appointment, into the ring as his pick to direct the government-run
financial watchdog.
“He can’t stay on the job unless the Senate finally gives him the confirmation he deserves,” Obama said.
The court ruling gives Senate Republicans more than enough political
cover to proclaim Cordray’s nomination entirely inappropriate, and
start working to block it. And now that the Senate has resolved the
filibuster-reform fight with it largely intact, expect them to use it
on Cordray as best as they can.
What does it matter she asked. Well Ms.clinton why don't you ask the man who now sits in prison because he had the audacity to make a video that poked fun at mohammad. A punishment you preordained when you told the families this man would be punished before a single investigation had began. And now months later after the idiocy that this video caused these attacks have been repeatedly discounted and shown to have been lies, why does this man still sit in prison other than being a scapegoat for your failures . What does it matter now she wonders. Lord help us in 16 if she runs
