33rd Time’s a Charm

In other news, the city of San Bernardino, California has declared bankruptcy. The primary causes — plummeting tax revenue and the third highest foreclosure rate in the nation. But you can expect to see lots of blame placed on public employees and their pensions.

Also — the House voted to repeal Obamacare for the 33rd time today. No word on when the 34th vote will occur, but I’m sure it’s just around the corner. Maybe even before congress goes on vacation again or after their next game of golf.

    One definition of insanity : Repeating the same action over and over while expecting a different result.

    I don’t think even they are stupid enough to actually expect a different result. Cheap political stunts are their stock in trade.

    So, how many jobs did this vote create?

    I’ll give you insanity. In TN, the state I reside in, State Senator Mae Beavers has actually tried several times to push a bill through the TN State Legislature that would take away power from the court to overturn any law. Basically she wants to get rid of Judicial Review. Doesn’t matter that it’s blatantly unconstitutional or anything.

    And the Tea Publicans in TN are pushing to have every State Supreme Court judge run for their seat on the bench. No appointments because that won’t lead to more corruption or anything.

    The GOP’s new motto: “Screw Separation of Powers!”

    So much for limited government. It’s naked power grab time!

      That, also, is their stock in trade.

      Funny how teabaggers liked judicial review when they thought SCOTUS was going to overturn Obamacare.
