What are your thoughts on this latest Constitutional Crisis?
Appearing on Neil Cavuto’s program on the Fox Business channel,Meese said the appointments of Richard Cordray to serve as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and three pro-union members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) were historically unprecedented and violated constitutional order. He noted that since the House did not give consent for the Senate to go on recess for more than three days,nor did the Senate go into recess,there was no recess;thus,the president could not legally make a recess appointment.
The interview quickly touched upon impeachment. Cavuto asked Meese if these actions “get to the level of a serious crime or misdemeanor?” Meese replied:
Whether it’s an impeachable offense —or I think more particularly whether Congress would impeach,whether the House would impeach –- I think there may be some reticence on that. That’s an extreme,last resort measure…I think it should play in the next election process.
Meese concluded,“Whether you go to that point or not really depends on what the House decides to do.”
He said all Americans must ponder on’question:“If the president is willing to violate the Constitution now,when he has an election upcoming,think what he would do if he was in his second term with no election ahead. To what extent he would literally shred the Constitution during that period of time.”
Sekulow Now: Obama's Unconstitutional Appointments
The Saudis have an East-West pipeline system to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea which is only a temporary measure in light of Obama's inability to forge an effective strategy against Iran. The neighboring United Arab Emirates also has export flexibility. It is nearing completion of the Abu Dhabi crude oil pipeline, which will bypass the strait to ship as much as 1.5 million bpd to the Indian Ocean.

With minimal media debate, at a time when Americans were celebrating the New Year with their loved ones, the "National Defense Authorization Act " H.R. 1540 was signed into law by Obama. The actual signing took place on the 31st of December.
According to Obama's "signing statement", the threat of Al Qaeda to the Security of the Homeland constitutes a justification for repealing fundamental rights and freedoms, with a stroke of the pen.
The Lessons of History
This New Year's Eve December 31, 2011 signing of the NDAA will indelibly go down as a landmark in American history.
If we are to put this in a comparative historical context, the relevant provisions of the NDAA HR 1540 are, in many regards, comparable to those contained in the "Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State", commonly known as the "Reichstag Fire Decree" (Reichstagsbrandverordnung) enacted in Germany under the Weimar Republic on 27 February 1933 by President (Field Marshal) Paul von Hindenburg.
Implemented in the immediate wake of the Reichstag Fire (which served as a pretext), this February 1933 decree was used to repeal civil liberties including the right of Habeas Corpus.
Article of the February 1933 decree suspended civil liberties under the pretext of protecting democracy: "Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of association and assembly, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house-searches, orders for confiscations, as well as restrictions on property rights are permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed." (Art. 1, emphasis added)
Democracy was nullified in Germany through the signing of a presidential decree. The Reichstag Fire decree was followed in March 1933 by "The Enabling Act" ( Ermächtigungsgesetz) which allowed (or enabled) the Nazi government of Chancellor Adolf Hitler to invoke de facto dictatorial powers. These two decrees enabled the Nazi regime to introduce legislation which was in overt contradiction with the 1919 Weimar Constitution.
The following year, upon the death of president Hindenburg in 1934, Hitler "declared the office of President vacant" and took over as Fuerer, the combined function's of Chancellor and Head of State.
Obama's New Year's Gift to the American People
To say that January 1st 2012 is "A Sad Day for America" is a gross understatement.
The signing of NDAA (HR 1540) into law is tantamount to the militarization of law enforcement, the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Inauguration in 2012 of Police State USA.
The NDAA is "Obama's New Year's Gift" to the American People. ...

The relevant sections of the bill are 1021 and 1022.
* Section 1021 asserts the President’s authority to arrest suspected (not convicted) terrorists and gives him the option to choose whether or not they even get a trial, and if so, what kind of trial.
* Section 1022 requires that a certain class of terrorist get no trial. Instead they must be held in military prisons, for as long as this President, or any future President desires.
SECTION 1021
Section 1021 is very expansive in its reach. It “includ[es] any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.”
* Who is “any person?”
* What is a “belligerent act?”
* What is “direct support?”
One could be safe in assuming these words mean whatever a creatively-minded prosecutor, a flexible judge, and an ignorant jury define them to mean — except that, under this act, one might never get as far as a court hearing.
These terms will be defined by the bureaucrats in power.
They could be used against political opponents.
1021 has no exceptions. There’s not even a hint of an exception. Remember, that section gave the President the authority to arrest you and a set of options on how you were to be handled. These choices are completely divorced from the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments, as well as the Treason provisions of Article III. The President’s new alternatives are:
1. Detention without trial by the military
2. Trial by a military commission
3. Trial by some other court of the President’s choosing
4. Shipping you off to a foreign jurisdiction
SECTION 1022
1022 is a requirement — a binding mandate upon the President. Obama threatened to veto the bill, but only because he feared 1022 would restrict his power too much.
In the final version of the bill, after a public storm started to erupt, the title of the section was changed to indicate that it only applied to “foreign al-Qaeda terrorists.” However, titles are not normally considered part of the law but merely summary descriptions to the reader of a bill.
But this title is especially ironic, because it’s this section that includes the so-called exemption for American citizens. Why would you need to exempt American citizens from a section of law that applies to “foreign al-Qaeda terrorists?”
The answer is because the section applies to any kind of “terrorist,” domestic or foreign, no matter what the title says.
And here’s the so-called exemption, with the key word highlighted:
The REQUIREMENT to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
That means that military custody, without a trial, is mandated by law, but that the President, at his discretion or by written policy, may issue a waiver on the basis that a person is an American citizen.
If this provision was a true safeguard for American citizens, then the line would’ve been written like this:
Military custody of citizens of the United States is still prohibited under this act.
The difference is critical. It’s a requirement that can be waived at discretion, as opposed to a prohibition.

There is more to the Constitution than the Commerce Clause but as he points out you need activist judges to push this down the throat of the American people.
President Obama's appointee to the Consumer protection bureau Richard Cordray is a staunch supporter of Obamacare. He has said the lawsuits against the legislation were "frivolous" because of the commerce clause.
Cordray, before his recess appointment to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, served as the Attorney General of Ohio and declined to file a lawsuit against Obamacare like many other states in the nation. He explains his reasoning of why this is a "pretty frivolous" lawsuit in an interview with Capitol Square, a program that airs in Ohio. Transcript of they key portion of the interview is below.
"The commerce clause claim is pretty frivolous under standing jurisprudence prudence. It goes back 70 years where the court has held that any legislation that affects the national economy, even if it affects matters that are not economic themselves, that have incident effects on the economy. And healthcare insurance clearly does. It is [a] valid exercise of Congressional authority.
"I think that disagree with this law, and I understand there's deep disagreements and it's a complicated law and I'm sure that over time some pieces will work and some pieces will not, and they'll have to go back and revise and tweak it. If they want to continue to battle on this, it should be in the political arena. We don't typically go to the courts and ask the courts to micromanage the democratic process. I don't think that is a good expenditure of taxpayer resources. As I said, the lawsuit will go forward but Ohio will not be part of it."
The drill, which is unprecedented in its size, will include the establishment of US command posts in Israel and IDF command posts at EUCOM headquarters in Germany – with the ultimate goal of establishing joint task forces in the event of a large-scale conflict in the Middle East.
The US will also bring its THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) and shipbased Aegis ballistic missile defense systems to Israel to simulate the interception of missile salvos against Israel.

LA arson suspect's captor patrols for $1 a year
Captor: reserve sheriff's deputy is Shervin Lalezary, a 30-year-old Beverly Hills real estate attorney who was born in Tehran and moved to the U.S. with his family about 25 years ago.
There are so many strange twists to this story it reads like a novel; you can't make it up. The lamestream media will simply report that a lone crazed arsonist was arrested and go back to sleep without any more research. However, this may be an active Islamist cavorting in L.A. Perhaps the State department is doing the job that Justice or Immigration refuses to do. Perhaps the L.A.P.D. is protecting the city, as is the NYPD, since the Feds will not track Islamists. One person can do so much damage and I can only wonder the effect of just a handful of these miscreants let loose in an urban setting.
It was less than a month ago that the Hollywood Jihad occurred with a shootout and a gunman calmly targeted drivers while shouting ALLAHU AKBAR!
This car was spotted in Portland, ME, August 24th, 2011. The translation on the sticker says "Help from Allah and present victory."
In Arabic it says "Victory from Allah, and invasion soon." The word "FATTEH = Invasion" was used during Muhammad's era when he conquered areas killing people who did not submit to Shariah. After they were done, they would celebrate for the "FATTEH" of this country.
This bumper sticker was made for the USA, and was translated so it would sound good to the non-Arabic speaking Americans.
