Winners and Losers in my Constitution Bee

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 8/7/2022 4:43:01 AM

Every year kids from around the country enter a contest, the Spelling Bee, to test their ability to spell often difficult words better than anyone else. If adults held a Constitution Bee, the winner this week would be Florida governor Ron DeSantis and the loser would be White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre. It has been the game in many states, particularly those where the attorney generals were elected with a big assist from leftist moneybag George Soros and friends, to refuse to enforce (usually criminal) laws adopted by state legislatures with which they disagree. This week, Governor DeSantis played his ace in the hole,

Today's pedantic moment: Clarice is exactly right of course but the proper term is "attorneys general", not "attorney generals".

I find it incomprehensible that a person like Jean-Pierre speaks for POTUS.

Somewhat boring discourse on the law but, as usual, Clarice is right on the money.

This door swings both ways. It's not hard to imagine a future "liberal" governor using this same authority to remove a conservative state attorney for a different "abuse" of prosecutorial discretion. Easy to cheer now. And this has a long way to go...the lawsuits will start in three...two...one... BTW: What happens to those cases prosecuted by the newly appointed state attorney if the court overturns the Governor?

#7, the cases you refer to are being prosecuted by the OFFICE of the prosecutor, not the individual elected to, or appointed to, the office. The cases will continue to be managed by whomever is sitting in the prosecutor's chair, and that person's staff, whoever they may be.

DeSantis got it exactly right, of course. The prosecutor cannot choose to take over the legislative branch's duty of making laws by 'UNmaking' laws, effectively by refusing in advance to enforce them. A serious breach of the separation of powers. Dimwitted fool Jeanne-Pierre has not much of a clue about anything, and gets it stupidly, completely, even egregiously wrong, as she usually does. Dimwits say the darnedest things.

Monday, on the heels of news that former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, FL was raided by the FBI, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz criticized the raid as “misconduct.” According to Dershowitz, a raid is the method of last resort, and the onus will be on the Biden administration to show justification, or anything obtained in the raid would be suppressed. “The raid is supposed to be a last resort,” he said. “But this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against its political enemies. It has arrested people, denied them bail, put them in handcuffs – used all kinds of techniques that are not usually

Some learned from old media some from social media,” a senior White House official told CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe when asked about the raid. Fox News journalist Pat Ward also cited a comment from a White House official denying they did not receive notice of the raid and referred reporters to the Justice Department.

Rep. Liz Cheney’s husband, Philip J. Perry, and Hunter Biden’s attorney, Christopher J. Clark, are both partners at the same law firm, Latham & Watkins. Given that partners share revenue, this means that Cheney’s husband is profiting off of Clark’s services to President Joe Biden’s son. “In December, Hunter Biden hired former federal prosecutor Chris Clark, a partner at the firm Latham & Watkins. The president’s younger son is said to be under investigation for possible tax and money laundering activities, with a potential counterintelligence component,” Axios reported in February of 2021. To be fair, Latham & Watkins boasts close to 500 partners, according to 2020 estimates,

Cheney has no interest in changing her political affiliation, she also told the publication. “I’m a Republican,” she said before warning the Republican party “is continuing to drive itself in a ditch.” She added, “I think it’s going to take several cycles

After a whirlwind weekend of amendment votes the Senate on Sunday passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a paired-down climate and social spending bill that offers $369 billion for climate and energy funding. The $740 billion bill includes billions in new funding for the clean energy industry, 'environmental justice,' the agriculture industry and more. The bill passed 51-50, including Vice President Harris' tie-breaking vote, after winning key approval from Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. But Manchin's stamp of approval was not without concession from climate advocates.

With inflation raging and the shadow of recession looming, it’s difficult to envision a worse time to pass a tax-and-spend bill like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Yet, that’s just what Senate Democrats did Sunday. It’s even harder to imagine that “moderate” Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), both of whom voted for the bill, believe it will live up to its Orwellian name. If so, they are at odds with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), hundreds of economists, millions of Americans, and even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

There are factions of conservative Republicans who are steadfast in their opposition to Donald Trump, and accordingly, they approve of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and her efforts opposing the former president. ‘Never-Trumpers,’ they’re sometimes called. There aren’t many, but you may indeed know a few. Trump is a narcissist, and Liz is just standing up to him, they’ll tell us. Trump attacked our democracy on January 6th, and Cheney is protecting our country, they’ll insist. Liz is the one who’s an authentic Republican, not a Johnny-come-lately like Mr. Trump, they’ll say. But Liz Cheney has now lifted the veil. She’s not some principled, well-intentioned conservative

Even before he became president, the now-79-year-old Joe Biden faced serious and persistent questions about his mental health. Among average Americans, those questions have become a major issue, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The I&I/TIPP Poll, conducted online from Aug. 2-4 among 1,335 adults nationwide, shows that a 59% majority now say they are “very concerned” (36%) or “somewhat concerned” about Biden’s mental health. That compares with just 39% saying they are “not very concerned” (18%) or “not at all concerned” (21%). Only 2% of respondents said they were “not sure.” The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points.

I shared some of Teele’s information in my 2016 book, TWA 800: The Crash, The Cover-Up, The Conspiracy. Teele did not claim to be on the ship that fired the missile.
