Laws Shmaws….He and his good buddy Barry have no use for those things.

Spot on, Lisa. A case could be made that they’re doing the same thing with the Constitution, but a more appropriate case you’ve made here.

Remember how Bush would write these memos stating what part of a law he would follow and what parts he would ignore?

Do a little research. I know what he is talking about because I been involved in the world around me for many years.

Before Ramirez’s cartoon, Clay Bennett had a GOP politician doing the daisy petal picking bit with CHOICE.

Based on my comment you say I can’t keep my facts straight any longer. Which facts did I error on?

By what moronic stretch of stupidity does Bush doing something abhorrent and illegal excuse the current president doing something abhorrent and illegal? Save us from the idiots from both corrupt political parties where the party line trumps common sense!

What Holder has been saying is stop wasting resources, and people’s lives, enforcing extreme penalties (not all penalties) for minor crimes, and focus on serious, violent, offenders within the FEDERAL system. We did this years ago by using less penalizing state laws instead of egregiously punishing federal law for minor offenses, like smoking a doobie. Title 18 and 21 crimes and penalties are not needed to seek justice and protect people from non-violent criminals.

As to Jimmie Carter’s intelligence, he was an officer and nuclear guy in the Navy, and yes, DOES understand a lot of Einstein’s, and others complex theories of physics, while MStevenson 58 seems confused by the instructions on Milk of Magnesia or Ex-Lax, that other “physics”.

Name one that I’ve stated.

Yes, Bush was not perfect, ran up the debt about 4-5 Tril, but he hasn’t been in office for 4 1/2 years. Liberals are always deflecting and two wrongs do not make a right.

did ya ever notice that people apply logic and common sensein every endeavor except religion and politics?

They were called “signing statements.” You might look them up before spouting more ignorance here.

I do. I’m sure there must be at least one other person paying attention during that time.

Seems about right?

“Nixon, Reagan, Bush 1 and 2.committed serious CRIMES yet Clinton gets impeached for a bj.”

One thing you have to say for the GOP – they are determined to define, monitor and penalize our sex lives.

It appears that until we have been reformed to the point where we apply to the GOP before we engage in any intimate behaviour, no crime can be punished more promptly or severely than a sex act they haven’t authorized..

“those on the leftist side of things have failed without exception to make a convincing, reason-based argument for their policies, ideas and candidates.”

I’m sixty five, and have been watching this circus even longer than you have, and I could certainly say the same for those on the right side of the aisle.

If the GOP is so wonderful, why on earth haven’t they done anything constructive over the last forty years?

The fact is that both parties are working hard to drive this country into the ground, and they are using partisan politics to distract the voters until they’ve finished the job.

Both parties are at fault.

skipcarlsen: you did not miss that part. Obama just ignores it, any andytoher thing he does not like.
