Republicans warn against Miranda rights for terror suspect

Homer_J — Tue, 04 May 2010 15:36:28 +0000

GASP…. an American citizen being read his Miranda rights? Say it ain’t so!! (Note to GOP – Don’t yell at me about the rule of law then say stupid shit like this)

Congressional Republicans want to know whether the Pakistani-born American arrested in the Times Square car bombing plot was read his Miranda rights, with Sen. John McCain saying it would be a “serious mistake” if the suspect was reminded of his right to remain silent.

“Obviously that would be a serious mistake until all the information is gathered,” McCain (R-Ariz.) said on “Imus in the Morning” when asked whether the suspect, Faisal Shahzad, should have been Mirandized.

Ariz. governor signs immigration bill into law

Homer_J — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:58:48 +0000

Silly me. I thought immigration was the responsibility of the Feds. This can’t end well……

The sweeping legislation makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It also requires local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegally.

………..

A Phoenix Law Enforcement Association representative acknowledged that racial profiling can occur but said fears associated with the bill are unfounded.

“We’re not targeting any particular group,” said Levi Bolton, a retired police detective. “Cops are not here to do these things to you.”

HAHAHAHAHA………… now that’s comedy!

47% of Tea Partiers Pay No Federal Income Taxes!

Homer_J — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 02:32:17 +0000

Like we needed more proof the teabaggers were retards(bold parts highlighted by me….

Forty-five percent of self-identified “Tea Partiers” make less than $50,000 per year, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll. Similarly, 50% of the total population makes less than $50,000 in the same poll. Despite this author’s lack of direct access to the tax returns of the Tea Party movement, it seems safe to assume that if about half the country avoids federal income taxes, a similar percentage of the Tea Party movement gets away with the same even as they march and scream about their tax burden.

Outcrazying The Crazy: How A Prankster Plans To Infiltrate And Destroy The Tea Party Movement

I wholeheartedly endorse this idea. The thought of those wackos freaking out about “plants” is hilarious.

Outcrazying The Crazy: How A Prankster Plans To Infiltrate And Destroy The Tea Party Movement | TPMDC.

Meet Jason Levin, quite possibly the scariest man in the tea party universe. An Oregon technology consultant, Levin is the leader of Crash The Tea Party, a plan to take down the tea party from the inside. Levin says he’s got a growing cadre of supporters across the country, and conservatives from the message boards to the set of the Sean Hannity’s show are getting nervous.

“Our plan is not to shout them down,” Levin told me yesterday, “but to infiltrate them and push them farther from the mainstream.”

Nebraska Passes Controversial Abortion Ban – ABC News

Silly me. I thought Republicans were against the Gov intruding into their person lives (Note to self: NEVER go to Nebraska for any reason)

Nebraska Passes Controversial Abortion Ban – ABC News.

A Nebraska state law that will make abortions illegal after the 20th week of pregnancy has sparked speculation about whether the state ban — the first of its kind in the United States — might end up as the subject of the next Supreme Court abortion battle.

The primary goal of the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” is to stop late-term abortions, supporters say. The state law makes it a felony for a doctor to abort a fetus at more than 20 weeks.

Dawn Johnsen withdraws as nominee to head Justice Dept. Office of Legal Counsel | StarTribune.com.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel has withdrawn her bid for confirmation, after several Republicans objected to her criticism of the Bush administration’s terrorist interrogation policies.

Dawn Johnsen’s withdrawal — a setback for the Obama administration — was announced late Friday by the White House on a day the capital’s legal and political elites were absorbed in the news that Justice John Paul Stevens would retire from the Supreme Court.

So That’s Why She Quit

Homer_J — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:11:59 +0000

We all knew there had to be a reason.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.

The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.

Her twitter account says otherwise:

So she violated ethics laws by setting up a fund to pay for her fight against ethics complaints which also broke the existing ethics laws? That’s fucking funny. But golly gosh gee, she’s been so trustworthy up until now. Who do I believe?

…..

….

Yea she’s guilty.
