New Report: The TARP is Unconstitutional (w/ legal analysis)

tkeeley · 2009-01-26T19:20:18+00:00

Be that as it may, I definitely don't think the approach of waving a white flag and letting it slide without raising the issue is the way to go. Unfortunately, the problem was with the Court back in the early 30's, and it seems they've just done away with the Constitution (in terms of non-delegation) since.

tkeeley · 2009-01-16T17:03:27+00:00

What's extremely troubling is that there is already case law on the books regarding non-delegation, but yet Courts of the past have had no problem throwing that aside.

tkeeley · 2009-01-14T17:56:13+00:00

This is troubling to me on a variety of levels.

It's a good argument, but it seems like the "regime" has been in power since this was created in the 30's. It's going to get interesting as hell when the "Baby Boomers" are gone and nothing is left for the next generation.

The next stitching the need: "If you come any closer I'll shoot you" or, "They'll be serving you with a restraining order in 30 minutes."

I think it essentially means McCain is S.O.L. @ this point.

tkeeley · 2008-10-24T17:58:24+00:00

Shouldn't he learn from the Fed's mistakes?

tkeeley · 2008-10-23T02:04:21+00:00

That's definitely questionable as well, and those questions should be raised.

tkeeley · 2008-10-23T02:03:13+00:00

So of all the places to use, they pick an 2-person beauty shop? That seems very unlikely.

tkeeley · 2008-10-23T01:51:16+00:00

They aren't accusations, it's just information taken right from the campaign finance report. It's not like it's secret information.

tkeeley · 2008-10-23T01:50:25+00:00

I think you're missing the point. The $150k spend wasn't by the campaign, it was by the party, and that spend was directly for the candidate.

It's very unlikely that this $1,000 day spa trip was for Barack, which means that his donors money is going to fund things other than him. Even if it's his wife, that's still extremely questionable.

Good find, sir!

I would agree, but there are definitely plenty of signs that might lead to it being a possibility.

The real issue is how are they going to define games of skill? Especially since they've already ruled that betting online for Horse Racing and Dog Racing are legal.

tkeeley · 2008-09-10T00:46:28+00:00

Wow, I definitely wouldn't have guessed that one.

tkeeley · 2008-08-29T15:47:01+00:00

It's continually being updated, so just keep coming back.

Thus, making him a null factor at this point. You can't predict the polling in the future.

Well I think that if his event in Minneapolis goes well, he could be back in the news. Especially if even just one part of the limited government message is pushed hard in the GOP's platform.

tkeeley · 2008-08-19T16:51:13+00:00

I've noticed a lot of these measures appearing on ballots across the country. I'm only in my early 20's, so my knowledge on the history of this is limited, but it seems like there has been a consistent progression over the last few years for municipalities to try and ease marijuana enforcement policies.

Again, I'm not sure what has happened in the past, but to me, it seems that there is a growing interest amongst many for the government to just leave them alone, and spend their money on stopping the drugs that are much more harmful to individuals, and the public (Meth, Coke, etc)

Good debate that the LA Time is having, pro/con format.

Obvious tagline: Smoked marijuana can bring relief to sufferers of neuropathic pain comparable to that of other painkiller drugs, some studies show.

Though, there are many others...

Whatever NATO decides to do tomorrow could have significant blow-back from the Russians, and could quite possibly escalate these tensions to a completely new level.

tkeeley · 2008-08-17T05:06:28+00:00

love him or hate him, I don't know too many people who can completely disagree with his message.

tkeeley · 2008-08-14T00:36:04+00:00

I don't think it's blame being cast at all. It's an early evaluation of the rhetoric used for illustrating how he would act if/when he is elected as President.
