I’m reminded of what the late Bill Hicks said about Rush.

Liberals don’t like the Constitution and never have.  That is why they feel the need to “fundamentally change” this great country. 

Why did Rush Limbaugh take unprescribed viagra to a known destination for pedophile sex tourists?

What does the Consumer Financial Production Agency really do and why would anyone be against it?

Here’s a good overview of what’s really going on.

I love how since you can’t ever comment on the substance of what he says, you post the same moronic comment on every Rush thread. 

But when Bush did far worse you and that fat overpaid BS artist were okay? You and he have 0 credibility

You shouldn’t assume to know what my position was when you have NO idea.  But if I did support Bush in it, I would be a hypocrite right?  Obama was against it when Bush did it, so you know what that makes him?  You liberals are the ones with 0 credibility. 

The constitution “not” liked. I would guess we won’t get an example of the same. “Teas” love that claim and don’t support it. Where have Any of his actions been overturned by the courts? You pray daily you’ll get your chance in June, but until then, it’s just a confused “tea’s” opinion. Where in the constitution does it “Not” allow this apppointment? There won’t be an answer, because it is legal! So I guess this makes “Limbaugh” a lying scum bag trying to rally his “hate” rubes!

No way! An article, about Rush Limbaugh, starting with: “Rush Limbaugh is not happy with President Obama’s…”?!?! I’M SO SUPRISED! Cue Dittoheads and their ‘OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED BY THE MARXISTSOCIALISTKENYANFASCISTREDISTRIBUTIONACORNBLACKLIBERATIONTHEOLOGY USURPER-IN-CHIEF!!!’ crowd now, right?”Dictator”?!!? He called Obama a “dictator’? Well, I guess Father Coughlin – errr, I mean Rush Limbaugh, does have to get his listeners riled up any way possible.

So you’re saying that you don’t know why Rush Limbaugh took unprescribed viagra to a known destination for pedophile sex tourists? 

Let’s see – Reagan did 3 times as many recess appointments per year as Obama. Bush, twice as many as Obama.

The Senate GOP refused to allow a vote on this guy because they didn’t like the agency. The one that was passed and signed into law in accordance with the Constitution. That same Constitution, which apparently, McConnell and his crew thought they could evade by simply not performing their duties. The same McConnell that made defeating Obama the top legislative priority for Senate Republicans.

Had they allowed even hearings on the appointment, there might be something to discuss, but since the Republicans in the Senate chose to simply not respect the agency that was created lawfully in accordance with the Constitution by not appointing a director, they gave up any legitimacy in this discussion.

As far as the Constitution goes, let’s talk about unprecedented incursions into rights and freedoms. Let’s talk Patriot Act. Let’s talk Homeland Security. Those both pretty much shred entire sections of the Constitution. And as far as fundamental change, I would say a full restructure and massive expansion of federal domestic law enforcement and intelligence agencies is pretty fundamental. Were you complaining that day?

They are opposed for the simplest of all reasons – they are corrupt and greedy.

So Bush wiped his ass with it as Rush applauded.

From the link:

“…Legal Counsel under George W. Bush reached the same conclusion: that
Senate recess is not interrupted by “pro forma sessions that are
designed explicitly simply to prevent the President from exercising his
constitutional authority.”

That could be an assumption but what is interesting is all the steps that were taken to make the appointments and oversights free of the traditional controls that would allow partisan interference. 

The model follows the other financial oversight organizations like the Comptroller of the Currency which has had a single director structure for over 100 years.

If you read the article you can find the link to all the ways that the new Agency is accountable including judicial review and of course anything they do can be overritten by Congress with specific legislation. 

Problem the more challenging fact is that the appointment is for five years thereby stretching into the next administration much like the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Richard Cordray looks to be a solid person to hold this position.

Bush and Cheney wiped their asses with the Constitution many times but did Rush complain about that? Of course not.

Why should we listen to this draft dodging drug addict anyway?

Thus my point. That and the $125 million in campaign contributions from the banks and Wall Street to the 45 Senators who wrote the letter refusing to hear this appointment.

This has never been about what is best or good or right. This has been about making Obama lose reelection (McConnell’s top Senate legislative priority) and satisfying the money people that finance McConnell and the rest of them.

Look at it this way – who could possibly oppose simplifying the language on loan documents especially in light of the mortgage mess?

This is not really about Rush’s avoidance of the military, his admitted drug habit and illegal actions in getting them or his liking of little blue pills and vacation spots that cater to fat loudmouths with little blue pills and lots of money. So let’s not drag all that in.

This is about Limbaugh’s total hypocrisy in calling this unconstitutional while adoring the Patriot Act.

deleted by me

@KeevaS:disqus I suspect that is why the Republicans insisted on HR 1315 to create a 5 person board that would contain at least three partisan members from one party ensuring endless gridlock and an opportunity to “lobby” for appointments.

By taking the appointments away from Congress and putting all the oversight in the more structured traditional financial oversight groups like the FDIC et al, they have taken away another power grab for partisan politics.

Yep. Amazing what $125 million buys these days.

Thank you Mr. President,  Now these scumbag Republicans won’t be able to rip off military personnel with payday loans.

Liberals don’t like the Constitution? Tell that to the ACLU.

 To bang tight brown bodies.

 Hey, a lot of great constitutional scholars pack that stuff.

@KeevaS:disqus Guess they’ll have to find a new “power” to buy and sell.

I have a hard time assigning any credibility to a talker who:

- Is married four times;

- Ruined his hearing and lost his teeth by using unprescribed cracked Oxycontin – Google “opiate hearing loss”;

- Dodged the draft to Viet Nam because of “extreme anal cysts”;

- was stopped at customs with a thousand unprescribed Viagra tablets coming back from a “sex resort” in the Dominican Republic.

The most amazing thing is that Americans of modest means listen to this $39 million a year clown and think he actually represents their best interests.

I believe the issue is that congress  (senate) was NOT in recess!

The ACLU only likes the Constitution when it serves their agenda.

Thus spake the uneducated, obese, drug-addicted, often-divorced, racist, homophobic deity of the low IQ Conservatives/Tea Baggers/Republicans.

This deity was silent during the Bush Administration’s recess appointments. In Rush’s own words, he used to carry “Bush Administration’s water”. But now we find out that he used to carry their pee.

No Rush, along with the millions of simpletons who take his BS seriously, have 0 credibility. Reagan did 3 times as many recess appointments per year as Obama. Bush, twice as many as Obama. But don’t let facts get in the way of your rant.

Seriously, with a name like liberal tormentor and you defend Rush, you set yourself up. Too bad you are so narrowminded and 1 dimensional that you buy into his bogus lib vs. con worldview.

Why can’t we see a current picture of Rush?

Bush set the precedent:

“…Legal Counsel under George W. Bush reached the same conclusion: that Senate recess is not interrupted by “pro forma sessions that are
designed explicitly simply to prevent the President from exercising his
constitutional authority.”

Wanna take it to the SCOTUS?  I’m good with that.

Funny how all these people who speak out against this Nazi Commie Muslim Kenyan dictator not only go unmolested, they make millions. Joe Stalin would have never let that happen.

And as was noted in the article, the Bush administration came to the same conclusion – pro forma  3 minute sessions explicitly for the purpose of preventing recess appointments (which the GOP was kind enough to actually say) when there is no actual Congressional (Senate) business scheduled until 1/23 is not the same as in session.

Note that Bush did the same thing when Dems pulled this ridiculous trick of never actually adjourning. Was that an issue for Rush then? No.

And it should not be. The extra-Constitutional act of 3 minute 2 member sessions daily is simply wrong. It is a misuse of the office. If they intend to be in session, then be there and actually work. If the intent is to stop a nomination, then have the vote and follow the rules. But to convene and then adjourn daily just to prevent recess appointments (which are defined clearly in the Constitution) is wrong. It was wrong when the Dems did it and wrong when the GOP does it.

And to answer the obvious, “But Democrats control the Senate.” Yes they do. But the GOP controls the House and it is the House having these micro-sessions, thus preventing the Senate from actually adjourning. There are no Senators even in DC to convene if they had to.

So, empty Senate chamber, closed Senate offices, no scheduled activity until January 23 (over a month with no actual Senators in the actual Senate chamber) does not add up to in session.

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home

Other than those times they are out trying to trample on it – amiright?

And Rush?

You are misguided and misinformed, but hey keep listening to Rash and Fake News and you are destined to stay that way.

Rush likes those water sports doesn’t he?

We don’t need to assume, you chose the name “liberaltormentor” on your own volition.

Oh right, the stealth Nazi Commie purpose?

obama did an appointment that has never been done by a president before, the senate wasnt in recess. You cant compare this to any other.

The ACLU defends everybody.  Liberal or conservative.  There only agenda is defending civil liberties.  

yup. they loved illegal wiretapping.

If you ever actually read the constitution then you might understand mr compassionate liberal. The constition allowed for recess appointments because then there were recesses of months at a time, this was set up for emergencies in that time frame. Yes presidents lately have done them, but no president has ever done it like this, the senate WAS NOT in recess. The president doesnt have the power to decide when the senate is doing “tricks” and just say they are in recess. If you think this is ok i dont want to hear you complain when the next republican president says they are in recess when they take a bathroom break to make his appointments. Go ahead and claim this has been done before but it never has.

What are you talking about?

Whoops, you’re wrong.  But don’t let that stop ya!

You libs have to make up your junk so you dont have to argue the point. He might have had his viagra on the trip down the river with you libs hero teddy kennedy.

I NEVER got why Bill Hicks loved Limbaugh. Weirdest admiration ever.

Henry, if you’ve ever been to Florida then you also have been to a known destination for pedophiles.

Republicans havent been complaining about the agency or the apointment, what they have complained about is the lack of oversight. Yall keep whining about how republicans wont work with anyone, they have tried to get your illustrious leader to meet and work out the details and he wont. Just like with the healthcare bill he wants to make it up as he goes. Yall have the market cornered on the blame game and with the lack of a media who will actually report the stuff, when a conservative actually does its all “spin”.

Please take a minute to read the links in this section.

Republicans complain that the Agency concentrates too much power in a single individual as Director, and that because it falls under the Federal Reserve, it is not accountable to Congress.

However, the U.S. Treasury Department notes that the Agency is, in fact, subject to “constraints, including ones that do not apply to any other federal banking regulator, to create full accountability and transparency to Congress and the American people. Treasury points out: “Congress may also overturn any CFPB regulation through legislation if it disagrees with the CFPB’s judgment.”

The Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs has published a comprehensive list of the means by which CFPB is accountable to Congress, clarifying that, “Similar to all regulatory agencies, the CFPB is subject to the Administrative Procedures Act and its final rules are subject to judicial review.” Some other constraints:

- The Director must report to Congress regularly
- CFPB is the only federal Agency with a statutory cap on its budget
- Subject to financial audit and review by the Government Accountability Office

You need to do some research. Wall street has given more money to obummer than anyone. Remember the big deal about banks adding fees to atm machines? They are going to make all these regulations up one way or another. With your der leader making an  agency just to make more regulations you will be charged ways you will never know. Do you really think banks are going to lose money?

Is that what caused him to have a heart attack in Hawaii?  Too bad they didn’t just let the big blubber die.

If you had a clue you would know that he doesnt like the patriot act. As much as yall seem to know about him you must listen to him everyday. Hmmm,,yall are all closet ditto heads.

Are military personnel forced  to take out payday loans? I havent heard this. Maybe rachel madcow needs to investigate.

sounds like another loyal listener.

you sure are an irritating devil.

“But the Senate cannot constitutionally thwart the president’s recess appointment power through pro forma sessions.”
The writers are Washington attorneys. From 2005 to 2009, Bradbury headed the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department, and Elwood served as deputy assistant attorney general. Although Bradbury was nominated as assistant attorney general in 2005, his nomination was never voted on by the full Senate. Individual senators put holds on the nomination, and Senate leaders instituted pro forma sessions to prevent a recess appointment.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/14/AR2010101405441.html

Oh yet ANOTHER compassionate liberal,,they just keep comin.

Brain trust, why do this to yourself? You take a stand,… proven silly then you get upset and you can’t let go,… like a kid! Here we go. Yes, you should read the constitution. I don’t think you would understand it, because you’re a “tea”, but it might be a good idea. No president has ever done this,.. grow up. How many appointments did Bush make? Don’t be a clown! Yes, the president does have the power to decide when the senate is doing tricks. Are you for real? You don’t like that because you’re a “tea” but that’s correct! Was the senate in full session,… no! Did the “tea” trash act like children,… yes, sooo he spanked them! Where do you find the word emergency, in that section? I know you’re clueless about the constitution so just don’t try. Now if you want to be adult and say, “there was a better way to make the appointment”, that would be correct. A better way, would be to avoid scum blocking every effort for 6 months!

Your wrong again mr limp. You really want to argue this one? Find any other time when it has been done. Recess appointments yes,but not  like this they werent. If you really want the POTUS to start having this much power we need to just do away with the congress and justice dept. Save some money and time.

You need to at least check some of this out before you post!

Congress doesnt have the power of financing this agency, it will be financed directly by the fed. Does this not bother any of you that it will be influenced by what yall complain about, big banking? Do you not think the fed will be pretty much over the purse strings of it and will be really making the decisions of the agency?

Congress has the ability to supplement the budget and the amount of funding is based on a percentage of the budget in the regulatory budget.

Mediaite bitches about Meghan McCain for her juvenile statements, but gives Rush a hummer at least once a week for his infantile statements.

Mediaite emphasizes the UP in sucking up.

Ya know Rush, if we had enough judges to take up these cases about constitutionality, we’d love to see your side argue against recess appointments, but Republicans have held up a record number of judicial nominations too, so there’s nobody left to hear your case.

I never said Obama had clean hands as far as the money goes. However, this story is about the 45 Senators that said they would not allow any vote on the director because they didn’t like the agency. And they took the $125 mill.

By the way, Obama is already raising a ton from Wall Street, but the GOP is raising more, too.

As far as the “pass the costs to consumers” talking point, let’s use the most recent example of the debit card fee, which was in response to Dodd-Frank, since the fees for using ATMs from other banks were introduced with no regulatory excuse.

The banks last year introduced the idea of a fee for using your debit card to make a purchase. This was in direct response to the Dodd-Frank limitation on how much the bank can charge the merchant for accepting the card. Consumers were livid and started tp move to banks and credit unions with no such proposed fee. And guess what? The banks all dropped the fee totally. In response to consumers. Sounds like the free market and regulation worked in this case.

For the record, I am opposed to the limitation on the fee in this law. That is an inappropriate interference in business by government. But, protecting consumers with basic rules is not a bad thing.

Oh, the banks will never lose money. Seriously. Where were you in 2008 when we were forced to cover the banks’ losses?

So, Republicans never adjourn congress in order to effectively take away the President’s CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to temporarily appoint during a recess…hum, this ought to be interesting.  Conducting the government in a way that deprives anyone, even the President, of rights under the Constitution, without due process, sounds like trouble. 

Do you really support government actions that deprive access to rights assigned in the constitution?

Yeah – it was.  A couple times over our history.  Check out the latest CRS report on it just published the beginning of December.

Yes – they have.  You really need to read the CRS report on recess appointments…

Uh, Bill Hicks did not admire Limbaugh as this famous bit proves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZsLF336fmk

Fat Rush is really into that Dominican boy butt.

Actually, it’s been done…”Since 1867, 12 presidents have made more than 285 such appointments, without constitutional objection by the Senate.”

”
Liberals don’t like the Constitution and never have.”Read what you said and see if it really makes any sense. It is like a true or false statement there partner. And the answer would be FALSE because of the way you phrased it. Figure it out………if you can???

It is people like you making these statements (that don’t make sense) that are the problem!!!!

YOU ARE CLUELESS!!! 

yall is not a word

The Limbaugh freak show goes on. Thanks, Rush for confirming one more time how sick and stupid the wingnutariat is.

And keep it up — November 2012 is just 11 months away!

Hello, clueless.
Enjoy your misery for another five years.

You’re full of s**t. Limbozo loved the Patriot Act until there was no longer a Republican president around to use it.

No, that’s exactly what Republicans have complained about. They’ve made it clear they won’t allow ANYBODY to be confirmed as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, because they oppose the existence of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

That comment is totally clueless. Congress created the agency and will fund it.

It’s Republicans who find the Constitution to be a danger to their plans.

One of my favorite poems ever. But, very not safe for work. Probably not safe for almost anyone, especially for maggots joining pro-life rallies.

What kinda change?

I think it’s funny that people actually still listen to and live by this snake salesman’s words.  Wow!  I’ll give you the free speech thing, but man.  The stuff  that this blow-hard spews out of his mouth is absolutely drivel. For his unfortunate brain washed fans, this garbage actually makes sense.  I must say I do feel sad for those who continue to feed this cartoon character of a man.  For all his talk, he is nothing but a commercial program that only benefits himself by selling more books.  Please don’t tell me I am the only one who sees this.  Don’t even get me started on Glen Beck.  They are only interested in they own bottom line folks.  O.k. I’m done.  Next Please.

“Ted Kennedy” is not an answer to my question.  My question was:

Why did Rush Limbaugh take unprescribed viagra to a known destination for pedophile sex tourists?

Yeah, but it takes a 3/5 majority to override the agency, AND congress has no control over their funding. It’s another executive branch power grab.

Rush you asshole, you’re look my age and are old enough to remember that Ronald Reagan had close to 250 recess appointments. I don’t care much for Obama, but I don’t care for freakin congress either. I’m now convinced that they’ll do anything to stop this economy to get better until he’s out of office. I just may vote democratic come the fall.

You’re not.  A certain part of the public listens to him because they think just like him. 

Rush is a home town referee with no shame.

I still don’t understand why we can’t see an up-to-date photo of Rush.  Because he is obese and ugly?

I still don’t understand why we can’t see an up-to-date photo of Rush?

The Senate was in recess.  The Republicans concocted a “pro forma sessions” farce when the Senate members had gone home.  They can’t use deceitful trickery in this manner to hide the fact that they were, in fact, in recess.  The worst part is that the entire purpose was to block a very qualified person from the position and to force Democrats to agree to legislation that would prevent the agency from protecting consumers from predatory practices.  Apparently the Republicans want consumers to be preyed upon.  We’ll all remember that on election day.

I love the Constitution.  I recognize it as a living document, I realize that a few sections (slaves being three-fifths of a person) no longer apply, but it provides a wonderful system of checks and balances in a representative democratic republic system. James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay did an incredible job,  I have read many of their writings, including personal letters to each other and folks like John Adams, Benjamin Rush and Thomas Jefferson, who were founding fathers and signers of the Declaration of Independence.
(Adams was in England and Jefferson in France, when the Constitution was signed.)

That’s why I find it hilariously ironic, albeit a little sad, when the Republicans use trickery to circumvent the Constitution and then try to push false claim that it is the other party, and not themselves, that hate the Constitution.

Perhaps the funniest moment I recall was when, I believe about a year or two ago, Rush Limbaugh made a speech saying (sadly, to cheers of the unknowing and un-knowledgeable listeners) “I believe the preamble to the Constitution, when it says, we were endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

When I read this, I almost spit coffee through my nose, I laughed so hard.  Sadly, I was reading it in an article that was just reporting the speech.  Even the author of the article didn’t note the obvious error that anyone who loves the Constitution would.

My immediate reaction was, “That’s the Declaration of Independence!”  There was no question in my mind.  I even knew that Thomas Jefferson had written those words based on the writings of John Locke.

I’ve also known since I was a child, these words, the Preamble to the Constitution (which I’m typing from memory, not copy/pasting from anywhere): 

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution, for the United States of America.

You see “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in there?  Me either, but Rush did.

So you see, I love the Constitution enough to know it.  To read it, and to be familiar with it.  Not to pipe rhetoric and pretend to love it when it suits me in partisan attacks, like the folks who are standing against it while in the next breath, wrapping it around themselves and claiming the other side opposes it.

3/5 majority? What are you talking about about? Any ruling can be overridden by legislation and all actions are subject to judicial review. 

As for the budget – it is revenue neutral from the Fed.

The Senate was in recess, and during similar recesses, Bush and Reagan both made numerous appointments.  If you disagree that they were in session, answer me these questions:

(1) During the holiday period, how many Senators were working?
(2) What bills were discussed or proposed in the Senate?
(3) What bills were voted on, passed or rejected by the Senate?

From my reading, what actually occurred was this:

Republicans in the Senate, apparently hating the Constitution and its provision for the President to make recess appointments, decided to circumvent the Constitution by holding “pro forma sessions.”  Here is what a “pro forma session” entailed:

Every few days, one Republican Senator would walk into the empty Senate chamber, bang the gavel, wait a few minutes, bang the gavel again, and walk away.

I’m sorry, sir, but that does not qualify as “being in session.”  That is an attempt to use trickery to block the Constitutional powers of the President.

The President, in response, called their bluff.

That is the truth of what happened.  If I am wrong, please tell me what critical business the Senate was working on during their non-recess, tell me how many Senators were there, what debates occurred, what legislation was voted on, to prove to me that the Senate was not in recess.

removed, posted as response to wrong post.

The agenda of the ACLU is to protect people’s rights.
The agenda of the Constitution is to protect people’s rights.

So that’s pretty much, all the time, that the Constitution serves the agenda of the ACLU.

Yeah, but correct.
I came here to see if I could post what he had to say during bush’s MULTIPLE appointments.

Kinda like Gingrich being for Citizens United, until those millionaires came after him.

yeah but Ted liked women

You’re right.

Liar…go to open secrets and show me truth.

I was going to comment on how Limbaugh takes a piss on his listeners everyday and they thank him for the rain but your link to the Bill Hicks bit was priceless.

Intellectual Repug words from fat, slovenly, alcoholic drug-addictee.  Reminds one of the good ol’ BushDrunk days!

definately did not like the fat junkie.

I always thought that the fat junkie is gay. Sorry to all my gay friends out  there. I know you already have enough problems.

And someone that goes to 9 different doctors to procure scrips for 2000 oxycodone per month knows a little something about lawlessness, huh.

It wasn’t anything pertinent to the topic of conversation, perchance, that Obama is conducting himself as a dictator, was it?

Not to be confused with the good ole Ted Kennedy Drunk drown a girl after you have sex with her days…………..

And speaking of drunks I imagine you voted for John Kerry? Hillarious……….

Wasn’t it Obama that said he used coke and weed? Hmmmmmmmm Oxy has to be prescibed is cocaine prescribed in obama’s case?

No that would be mostly liberals…………and dems rip off military personnel with insurance scams and get rich quick schemes……some maybe invested in Solyndra……….

Did you listen to Ted Kennedy?

I hardly ALL make millions that would imply half the population of the USA are millionaires……………

Where is it written they must adjourn……….I thought we paid them to work?  You truly are a democrat…………

Democrats you mean?  Kennedy did it as a matter of course………..far earlier than some group of people who did it unknown to the president at that time……..he still took the fall for em………how about your man?

I know he got shot by one of his own………

Rush brings out the libbies doesn’t he?  Must be his success………..and funny thing he never name calls………..where as liberal talk radio (air America or other defunct bankrupt ones) …….every other word nazi this dicatator facist that……………and that is just the mild stuff.

Last I checked Rush was a talk show host…………..not a politician………….last I checked Democrats elect their talk show hosts especially the more hate filled ones………….like Franken……..

Said Mao………..

And you ate it and Rush applauded….

Yeah, Limbaugh is a fat junkie. Ashamed to say he’s from my state.

its Spanish………get used to it

Didnt know you had a degree in psychology doc cajun. I never got upset,there is no reason to get upset over the clueless rants and ridiculous examples you libs put up. Your saying i act like a kid? I believe your the one who is poutin about someone actually callin your bluff and calling me childish names. And silly? None has proven me wrong yet.You libs seem to like nbc so go find where they reported that it hasnt been done like o did it. And you probably like chicago too because of its liberalness, so look up professor richard epstien of university of chicago law school. he said it is for the senate not the president to decide when they are in session.He also said when the president says its not in session when the senate says it is sets up a set of constitutional confrontations that we would be better off without. Oh wait a minute,,since he said pretty much the same thing i did i bet you think he is childish too.

Yes your right, recess appointments have been made several times. I never said they havent been. The democrats started this type of senate session when Bush#1 was president to keep him from appointments, which he didnt do because of it. Now libs are whining because republicans did it and saying oh yeah o had the right.

That is the whole argument here, yes they were considered in session. They had returned from holiday recess. Yall  need to listen to others besides who you listen to. Dems started doing this tactic and now it doesnt count as being in session? Prove me wrong and show me where a republican president did this during such session.

There is no answer to your question, didnt happen so it cant be answered. you can make up all the stories you want but it doesnt make it true. Why dont you post the story for all of us.

Apparently your totally clueless. Go actually read and find out who will fund it. When did the rule be made that congress had to fund what they create?

Wow,,they NEVER said that. They simply wanted to meet with obama and hammer out the details about funding, power structure, agenda and other details about the agency. But guess what, he wouldnt meet with them. This is how it has been with this “transparent” administration.

Neither is “teabagger” except in vulgar terms but you libs seem to use it enough.

Do you listen to his show?

You are right. I Will be in misery if o wins again, along with several other million unemployed, desperate Americans.

Yeah,no need for drs. when you can get your drugs on the street like obama did.

Face Plant!!!!

What Planet have you been on?????????? Did you just get here???

So….you’re an illegal…..
Go Home wetback!!!

Your specific words were “but no president has ever done it like this” and in fact, they have…12 presidents have made 285 appointments when congress had not formally adjourned, but was nonetheless on “recess” – lol.

They must adjourn when they will be away and not conducting legislative business.  These creeps go away, put keep someone there to punch their timecard every couple hours so they can cheat their boss…you must be a conservative to not see the problem here…your boys are yanking your wanky like a dishonest employee.

Budaaaa, Budaaa, Budaaa – get a hold of yourself man.  Spit it out.

“I never got upset”,… clueless rants, ridiculous examples, poutin… sure! Calling my bluff,…? Epstein is consdered a deep conservative. What do you think his OPINION would be? It doesn’t mean he’s wrong, but sure doesn’t mean you’re right! This is going to be “opinion” on both sides that practise constitutional law,…. opinion. “Yes” he might be childish!

No, El Rushbo has far more respect for the office and the President himself to lob such careless attac– oh wait, it probably was.

So where exactly does your original point have relevance in this discussion? Does your train of thought often derail this easily?

I also get a kick out of how he initially whined about it, but when called on his B.S., he accused democrats of whining about it.  Because that makes sense.

Again, please inform us on how many senators were there, what debates occurred, and what legislation was voted on.  We’d like to know.

Kennedy?  You’re actually going to bring up Kennedy?  You had to go that far back to find an example?

Grover Cleveland was a Democrat, do you have any gripes you want to post about him? 

And the Tea Party is a very vulgar movement, which is why we call them Teabaggers.

No, that’s EXACTLY what Republicans said. They said they wouldn’t allow anyone to run the agency because they wanted to cripple the agency.

Never name calls? What kind of crack are you smoking? Or are you just taking a bunch of Oxycontin like Rush?

Franken is hate-filled? This from one of Limbaugh’s Dittoheads?

I disagree with the man’s politics, but I don’t wish him dead.

Sorry, but stuff like this degrades the discussion.

I agree with you, but in defense of the Republican Senators, the pro forma sessions pretty much resembled what they did in the regular sessions.  They got nothing constructive done, either way.  May be they just can’t tell the difference between not working when the Senate is in session and not working when it’s not.

While we’re at it, I’d like to take the current filibuster method to the Supreme Court.  A filibuster should require someone to be constantly talking and debating the bill in question.  The threat of a filibuster should not be the actual filibuster. 

Thank you!

Rush could you be anymore outrageous? Why is that these super conservative like Rush are such hate mongers?  Please give me a liberal example of Rush.That’s right there is none.

Rush I would like to ask you what has a republican done for you lately?

Like living in the twilight zone with libs around. I give examples,show expert analysis, Actually GIVE yall proof but all you can do is keep up the cryin.

Kieth Olberman, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow,Chris Matthews…..

You are lying to yourself as much as others, teatard, but no one expects any more of you.

You have to be kidding.  They don’t hold a candle to Rush and his rhetoric.  I don’t know of anyone on the cable channels even Hannity is not as out spoken as Rush.  The cable channels would fire them if they talked like Rush. So get real lib_are_clueless.  You are not living up to your name, becuase you appear to be the clueless one. .

Yes. They were not in recess — they were on vacation! Get it straight, people!

You’re ignoring all the people in here who have (successfully) argued that Limbaughs’ point is wrong — that a one month vacation is obviously a recess, and that pro forma sessions are wrong no matter which party is doing it, because it circumvents the Constitutional right of the President to make recess appointments.

Rush was detained while returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic (a known sex-tourism hotspot) with unlabeled Viagra in his bag. He had been traveling with a few male companions, and was stopped for trying to bypass the inspection area.

The charges were later dropped as his psychologist had apparently acquired a prescription from a doctor.

No, clueless, you didn’t give examples or show expert analysis. You just made a claim without any evidence to support it.

at least Obama didnt send his housekeeper or Snerdley

now now everyone calm down and have a tall glass of Rush’s Pee In My Tea.

sounds coming from Hannity’s bathroom…”billayres …*squeak*”Rev.Wright”… *aawwggh*..

I know Hicks didn’t like Limbaugh. I was doing a bit of Trolling there. I just hate Hicks, and remember how childish his Limbaugh rant was.

I know this is a bit late but I played this link that you put up for my wife and she loved it even as offensive as it was.  I have decided anytime there a story put up involving Rush Limbaugh, at this blog site or any other site I look at, I am going to link that youtube site.   Because the late, great Bill Hicks does the best job of explaining what Rush Limbaugh is.  He is such a pox on this world.  Thank God he is incapable of spawning little Limbaughs.  He would probably be one asshole of a father anyways.  Thank you for that link… I am still laughing.

Since when is 60-90 seconds a week, derailing the peoples business, considered constitutional Mr. Limbaugh?  Its one thing if they were conducting the peoples business during their sham sessions but its a whole other thing to purposely stop the government from working.  

Just because they hate ONE man over 310 million people.
