On Wednesday, Senator Rand Paul surprised the U.S. Senate by attaching an amendment to the small business re-authorization bill, chastising Obama for his actions in Libya and urging Senate members to adopt the president's own words as a "Sense of the Senate." In the video at the link posted below, you can see Paul quote, on the floor of the Senate, from Obama's own 2007 remarks that "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." The amendment is intended to "put the Senate on record affirming Congress as the body with constitutional authority on matters of war."
GOP sources say that Paul's proposal flummoxed Reid, who does not want his members to have to weigh in on Obama's old quote about congressional auethority to declare war..

John: Your recent post was brought to our attention. You can refer to: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sofa%20king%20we%20t...
This is unacceptable behavior and language. We will not tolerate this and you are being suspended from the site for this behavior.
There is so much in the health care bill it makes my head spin. To read it you must read the section and refer to previous passed laws, bills, mandates and regulations and but i am sure it has some some reference to that in there. Keep in mind student loans are in there. There is a former LT. Governor of New York who actually has read the whole think and she can tell you where what is and it is mind blowing that so many Democrats voted for it because their leadership told them to. At least even the Progressive Liberal Republicans stood back and voted no. I would not want my figure prints on it.
I just listened to Chuck Schumer address the Senate stating that a Fox news reporter conservative Jennifer Powers even agrees with his statement that if there is a government shut down it is because of the GOP. He is delusional. Jennifer Powers is a Liberal pro-Obama and she is Fox news advisor. I think the Progressive Liberals in Congress have finally gone rabid like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
As far as a flashpoint in the Middle East our global President has encouraged it for months, in almost all of his TV appearances and speeches. Then i happens and he shuts up, with the exception of Egypt and Libya. They have been at a flash point for decades the 4G communications finally got them up to speed with the whole world and their situation.
That Jeffrey Immelt is a piece of work, he should be shunned by many Americans in his monetary betrayal of America workers. And now he is on a committee, being paid by our tax dollars, when he pays none?
J.R., You are right, Congress has failed big time and we the people have allowed that to happen. Sometimes i feel we can make a difference but then when you look at the decades of changes, ignorance, deception, etc., it seems impossible, then you have all the global problems to boot.
Global warming renamed Global Climate Change (jeez, doesn't some Congressional members do the same thing? Change and repackage the name because people realize it just a bunch of false facts and lies?) is bs.
Grains being used for fuels? Didn't this wonderful global President of ours command that more American crops in corn be used for biofuels? Even Al Gore has finally realized the danger of using food stocks for fuel. We still have farmers and farms who are subsidized with taxpayer's money not to raise crops.
Our whole country and government has been subverted.
J.L., you're right. Congress was given the power to provide checks and balances on abuses by the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch of government. They have failed to be vigilant and do that mandated job, allowing all manner of unconstitutional judicial legislating from the bench and executive legislating through executive orders, regulations, and rule-making actions to go unaddressed.
But Congress has also violated the Constitution themselves, by passing legislation that has no constitutional basis and by manipulating, or out-right violating, House and Senate rules in order to perform unconstitutional and unethical actions like sneaking earmarks and/or additional legislation into bills, then requiring voting on bills no Congress member has had an opportunity to read and understand.
That's the short list... and they really have dropped the ball. In fact, the ball must be stored in the same cloakroom they go into to make the unconstitutional "sausage" that they pack into unappetizing legislation that we are expected to swallow and regard as legal and enforceable. We need to collectively JUST SAY NO.
That is so true, J.R., as far as the food prices rising, they have always been rising, and not for cost but because of loss of crops, cost of transportation, etc.. People have gotten alway from their heritage of gathering and providing for themselves and their families. Those are the people i feel sorry for are the ones who only can relate to packaged, man produced foods. With oil going up, prices go up across the board because of energy and gas prices in producing, packaging and delivering product.
I really have not thought lately about the U.S. Constitution being a living document, here is a article that actually addresses why many Americans assume that the supreme court has the last word on what is or isn't Constitutional:

Apparently it is our elected representatives who are serving in the peoples' seat that has dropped the ball. Interesting. Boy, our work is cut out for us.
It's about time they started recognizing that their problems are caused by their not so benevolent leaders who deflect the blame to the non-Islamic world in order to blame the "infidels" for everything that goes wrong. That serves their jihad to further their murderous 7th century "religion" that is more about power and control than anything else.
It's also concerning to see the sharp rise in food prices in this country and the deceptive practice in new packaging, in order to charge the same amount or more for a product when the package, bottle or can contains less of the food product. Pretty sneaky, huh?
Thank you Roma and J.R., That is disturbing about Soros donating to that Institute that Rubio went to, he seems to be a true constitutional conservative although i am not trusting many candidates for anything especially with what the progressive liberals have promoted in the last four years, the deception that they have gotten away with is unconscionable.
Reading about Soros, he made his money in markets, investments, he went to some British school of economics which he supports and one of Gadfahi's son went to, there has been talk that with Soros's help him graduate, sounds like some one pulled strings to help him do so. So Soros is connected to Gadhafi, involving him in his one world global whatever. There is some question whether Soros was involved in stealing some property from jewish people during his youth during his involvement with his caretaker at the time to help start him in his climb to wealth. In his interviews, he comes off very arrogant and loves to feel power taking things from people, toppling over economies and being able to control other people's destinies by destroying their way of life, he is dead set against American Capitalism, i read a article some where, weeks ago, where he stated that bringing down America and Capitalism would be the best of his life works.
Jeez, i just looked up Rubio and the Aspen Institute and now i am not happy. Check this out:
http://looktruenorth.com/limited-government/49-conservatism/15871-a...
Soros is up to his ears in backing that institute, disappointing to see who all is involved. I would love to question McCain, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Rubio, Ryan, Barbour on this.
There is a statement down at the bottom of the above url (1) there that rings so true, i am personally tired of having to dig up information when candidates who are not truthful with the facts, does anyone think Rubio will be asked about his involvement, this looks a way to vet and educate more hopeful candidates to do your bidding. Gosh, i feel like i am witnessing something really evil in our country.
We really need people to rise up to protect the U.S. Constitution or this country is doomed, if it's not too, late already. How we have allowed lobbyist, money to embed in our government was completely foolish. This whole push that every America should vote is rubbish and is part of the movement to destroy our country. Only people who are familiar with the Constitution, issues, candidates, etc., should vote and i was part of that when i was younger. I was just using my 'right' to vote because that is what i was told not realizing the damage i was doing being so misinformed. We reap what we sow, boy what a mess.
Roma, a great book on America black history is "Setting The Record Straight: American History In Black And White" By David Barton.
(1)Aspen Institute Avalanche: Sheila Kihne 10March2011: "Look, I've been saying this for a while now: There are two types of Republicans: Those who understand what the country is facing and what we're up against in terms of battling the left....and there are those who don't. You shouldn't need to go to organizations directly connected to George Soros to figure these things out and I don't care how nice or free the trip.
Our elected officials should represent us and listen only to us. Not those who are counting on payback based on the notion that an "education" is a terrible thing to waste."
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
