Sensenbrenner: "Executive Orders are not part of the president's power"

[eleny]

Oh, hold me down!!!!! :rofl: They've lost their minds.

[bigdarryl]

1. MOTHERFUCKER PLEASE!!!!!!!

[high density]

2. I thought that was very funny as well. NM

[muriel_volestrangler]

3. To them, they were part of the Vice-President's power

but only if the VP had dodged the draft, selected himself, and promised to shoot a man in the face during his term. Then he could get his catspaw to sign whatever was put in front of him.

[Clio the Leo]

4. sigh .... if ONLY President Bush hadn't established a precedent!

[mrcheerful]

5. Got to love the wing nut hypocrisy when they no longer control shit

That wasn't what he had been saying the whole 8 years of con Executive Orders that brought the country to its knees and put us in 2 wars.

[treestar]

6. OMG

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[housewolf]

7. Try telling that to CWB & Dick Cheney

There were more executive orders written during their administration than ever before! Some of them secret ones...

[eleny]

13. I bet even Cheney did a spit-take

[housewolf]

26. Yeah... can't you just see him sitting at home with that forked tongue spitting in and out?

:rofl:

[butterfly77]

8. Whoever this ass is on now..

says over 70%of Americans don't want this bill...

[Divine Discontent]

9. executive power = president. lol.. sheesh, they reinvented the term for 2 terms!

they're great at rewriting history, too!

10. Senselessbrenner's whole thing was one mess of confusion and contradiction

On the one hand, he argues stridently for the meaninglessness and insignificance of this Executive Order by Pres. Obama.

On the other hand, he finds it contradictory that Obama opposed using executive orders to effect meaningful, substantial policy, executive orders that have an impact like - one that authorizes tribunals (read: an area where there was at least question as to the clarity of the question - is there an actual law opposing it).

Those two arguments simply cannot hold together, and yet he made them both in the span of a two-minute speech.

:freak:

[eleny]

16. There should be some fine nuggets to harvest during this 2-hour debate

[jsmirman]

18. You have to think (hope?) that the American people are smart enough

to realize the willful, feigned naivete that went into that doozy is less plausible than Rick's surprise over all that gambling.

It's like he explained exactly what Obama was doing, and yet still thought that left him with ground to find his actions contradictory. You simply can't have both!

[virgdem]

23. You know what they say..

a speech divided against itself cannot stand.

[jsmirman]

24. very funny

:rofl:

[nickinSTL]

11. HA! so...

all those executive orders of Bush's are invalid, right?

Cool. Let's get rid of all of them now.

And that means any agreement with Stupak is invalid, too.

Doesn't sound so bad.

[Phx_Dem]

12. I can't believe they're allowed to tell blatant lies on the House floor, n/t

[ellenfl]

14. un-freakin-believable! they truly have lost their minds. eom

[patrice]

15. So he's objecting to an EO that accomplishes something that he supposedly WANTS???

Or is he Pro-Choice?

[Submariner]

17. Especially since he has no "Executive" experience either

I heard Bible Spice tell me that on TV yesterday from Wasilla, so it must be true :rofl:

[Ikonoklast]

19. Riiiiiight. (No direct eye contact, backs away slowly.)

20. Wha? That Republican be lying

Man, he really tried to make it seem as though the CBO had blessed the thing he said that just followed his reference to the CBO - such crookedness. But unless I'm mistaken, it seemed that any reference he made to the CBO was based on lies.

And how the frack can these people claim "the people have spoken"???

Walk me through this one slowly.

Defeating Martha Coakley = "The People Have Spoken"???

[Arkana]

21. Oh good god.

They have completely lost their minds.

[elias49]

22. 284 executive orders issued between 2001 and 2009

according to the Federal Register.
So WTF??

[MiniMe]

25. That were treated like law by the repukes

That is why it is so funny.

[saltpoint]

27. Sensenbrenner has had too many of his toes removed to make any

sense.

I have no idea what that fool is talking about.
