Comment on The New Face Of Tyranny by Ryan

Obama’s executive orders will lead to the socialism that he claimed not to espouse during the campaign. Only now in office, he’ll be able to ride a wave of public support as a result.

I think Kay said it best in Men In Black: “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”

A perfect description of the Obama nation.

I think I have your answer.

In 1952, the Supreme Court ruled in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 US 579 (1952) that harry Truman’s Executive Order 10340 was unconstitutional because it attempted to directly make law in violation of the “faithful execution” clause of the Constitution.

This clause gives the President wide discretion in executing the law, but does not give him authority to enact law. As a result of the ruling, Presidents will now often cite the specific law being executed when an Executive Order is signed.

The Supreme Court was asked by the government to make a ruling of certorari in the case–part of the appellate jurisdiction of the Court.

As to what I see happening, I see the federal government increasing its power under the Obama administration.

Obama is a statist who believes that federal power should trump in all cases. Most people don’t like the expansion of federal power. However, I also see a very charismatic, popular man who can very effectively manipulate public opinion, much like what Bill Clinton was able to do. The difference is that Obama doesn’t have the same sexual baggage Clinton did, which will work heavily in Obama’s favor.

I predict that even though Obama will work toward expanding federal power, his approval ratings will remain fairly high and he will be able to accomplish most of what he wants.

I really hope I’m wrong, though.

That’s a great question, and one that I don’t have an immediate answer for.

Trenton, I couldn’t remember–is the Supreme Court the court of original jurisdiction for executive orders? If it comes down to that, what do you see happening?

Comment on Rahm Emanuel Tagged As Obama’s Chief Of Staff by Trenton

Trenton — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:23:53 +0000

I heard a Political Science professor from the University of Utah on the radio yesterday describe Rahm Emanuel as “a centrist, a moderate.”

I won’t be taking any classes from that guy anytime soon. How blind can you get?

[...] It Has Already Begun Folks, Rush called it. He predicted an Obama win would usher in a new Chicago gangland-style thugocracy. Most people won’t want to hear it, and will refuse to believe it or will call it crazy talk. Nevertheless, the two thugs in the video below are Obama supporters. These are the kind of people that Obama has befriended over the last 20 years, and the kind of people that are attracted to his campaign. These are people who have not voted before because only white people were running. These are [...]

Comment on The Repugnance of Socialism by Stephanie

Stephanie — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:33:00 +0000

When people want something for nothing they find out rather quickly that there is no such thing as something for nothing. What an empty victory to just be handed everything you thought you wanted-only to discover that you have acomplished nothing, contributed nothing in your life and left nothing of real value that speaks of your stay here on the earth. What sacrifices will the American people be willing to make for their Country? What will be said of us if we do not let go of our own selfish desires and be willing to make sacrifices for each other? Here is what I want: I want the victory our founding fathers realize every time even one person in this Country becomes a true Patriot. I want the peace that comes from standing for Truth and the joy that - with hope - will come when people begin to discover that God has instilled within every person the light and power to create their own abundance. With that realization comes a need to fulfill one’s purpose, which purpose is not found in taking from society but contributing to it.
