Liar in Chief!!!


He blatantly lies AGAIN!!!

“Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” bho 4/3/12

I doubt that the self-professed “Constitutional scholar” doesn’t know that the Supreme Court has struck down laws like obamacare only 1,315 times before. He uses his old tactic of telling a lie loud enough or often enough that the “sheeple” begin to believe it!

DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“That's quite a sequence of lies by the President, all packed into a single, steaming sentence of manure:

A "strong majority" of Congress? NOT!!! The bill was passed using a budget reconciliation maneuver that allowed it to bypass a Senate filibuster with just 51 votes.

A "democratically elected" Congress? NOT!!! Actually, the 111th Congress had roughly a half-dozen appointed Senators and one turncoat (Arlen Specter), elected as a Republican but who switched to the Democrat Party.

Unprecedented step of overturning a law? NOT!!! Oh, gee, Mr. Constitutional Scholar, as of 2002, the Supreme Court had only struck 1,315 laws down as unconstitutional, the first in 1803.

Does the arrogance of this President know no bounds?”  (http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2012/04/constitutional-scholar-slash-golfer-in.html)

“The list would be too long for this format, but the US Supreme Court has declared a total of 1,315 laws (as of 2002, the most recent year for which statistics are available; the database may be updated in 2012) unconstitutional using the process of judicial review.

The first time the Court declared a federal law unconstitutional was in Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion for Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), in which he asserted Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional because it extended to the Supreme Court an act of original jurisdiction not explicitly granted by the Constitution.

Unconstitutional and Preempted Laws 1789-2002
According to the GPO (Government Printing Office Database):

1789-2002 Acts of Congress Held as Unconstitutional..............................158

1789-2002 State Statutes held unconstitutional......................................935

1789-2002 City Ordinances held unconstitutional....................................222

Total State, Local and Federal Laws Declared Unconstitutional................1,315

Interesting Email about the law student needing 3k for birth control


The name Sandra Fluke has been in the headlines, a media star after testifying at a Congressional hearing to demand government insurance pay for her birth control efforts, and subsequently suffering criticism from Rush Limbaugh on his radio show. Disregarding the pros and cons of Ms. Fluke's appearance or Mr. Limbaugh's comments, a physics professor, obviously a wise man with analytical brilliance has delved into the depths of the problem and reveals his conclusions below.  Remember, I don't make this stuff up, just expedite its forward progress.

Physics professor analyzes Sandra Fluke’s plea for birth control expense coverage:
Sandra Fluke, a law student at Georgetown University, appeared before a Congressional Committee this week. She was lamenting that no one would subsidize her birth control expenses, which she claimed would amount to $3000 during her three years in law school. After watching Ms. Fluke describe her desperate situation, I set to thinking of ways to help her out of her crisis.
First, of course I had to pass through the grieving period I experienced after hearing of her inhumane treatment at the hands of the Georgetown administration and our Government – what cruelty lurks in the heart of men that they would leave this poor woman to fend for herself when all she wanted to do was have sex seven times a day (see my analysis below).

Once I recovered from my grief, I set to thinking about ways to help this poor girl. Being a physicist, I sat down with my calculator and worked through some numbers. Ms. Fluke’s expense account for birth control (aka sexual entertainment) was claimed to be $3000 for three years at law school. Let’s presume that as an educated woman she wants to be doubly safe and uses both birth control pills to prevent pregnancy and condoms to prevent STD (sexually transmitted disease).

Using the Wal-Mart cost for birth control pills of $9 per month, her birth control pills will cost her $324 for her entire law school career. This leaves only $2676 for her condoms.

I went to Amazon.com, and found quality condoms available for 33 cents each in packages of 60 condoms each. This cost includes tax and shipping. Since she has $2676 for her 33 cent condoms, she will be buying 8109 condoms during her law school “career”.

To use her 8109 condoms (remember, $3000 was Ms. Flukes’ own number) she would have to have sex 7 times a day. This number presumes that she has sex ten times a day on Sundays, when she has more free time.

So, having worked through these numbers, I have some suggestions for Ms. Fluke to help her work through her crisis:

1. Find dates who are gentlemanly enough to either provide their own condoms, or at least split the cost with her. Selection criteria is the key to this one.

2. Spend more time studying. Even seven “quickies” a day will seriously cut into quality study time. This would not only save money but would improve her education as well.

Just trying to help out a starving student.

BTW, the average starting salary of new Georgetown Law School graduates is $160,000 a year, FYI.
