No Biggie, But the Obama Administration Lied to a Federal Judge and May Now Be Sanctioned
I've never seen a useful explanation of the chain of events here, so I'm going to guess: I think the judge wanted to know from the Obama Administration if any action on the illegal executive orders was going to be taken, short term, before the judge even had a chance to consider the issue. I believe Judge Hanen wanted to know this because he wanted to know if he had to order a temporary restraining order against Obama, blocking him from taking action before the merits of the case could be heard. (In such cases, an emergency hearing is had and a mini-presentation of the case is held, so that the judge can decide if the case seems likely to win on the merits.) I believe the Obama Administration told the judge: Nah bro, there's no need for an emergency restraining order, we're not going to do anything on immigration for a while. So Chillax, Bro! You have all the time in the world to consider this case at leisure! But then Obama actually issued work documents to 108,000+ illegal immigrants even while Hanen was hearing the case. Thus, Obama issued documents to 108,000 illegals before Hanen had the chance to estop them. They told Hanen to not worry about issuing an emergency injunction before a decision on the case, and then, during that period where Hanen thought no action was being taken, they rushed out documents to 108,000 illegals. And then they didn't tell Hanen about that until three weeks later. And also: Obama is now claiming those 108,000 illegals are already "grandfathered" in and the judge cannot take the documents away, even though those documents were issued in defiance of his (ultimate) order. Hanen is pissed, and he says he feels like "a fool" for having taken the lying Obama at his word.A federal judge sharply scolded a Justice Department attorney at a hearing on President Obama's immigration executive actions, suggesting that the administration misled him on a key part of the program -- and that he fell for it, "like an idiot." The testy court hearing was held Thursday in Texas by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen. The judge suggested he could order sanctions against the administration if he finds they indeed misrepresented the facts. At issue is whether the DOJ misled the judge into believing that a plank of the Obama program -- giving deportation reprieves to thousands of young illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children -- would not go forward before he made a ruling on a request to halt it. In fact, federal officials had given more than 108,000 people three-year reprieves before that date and granted them work permits under the program. ... Hanen chided Justice Department attorney Kathleen Hartnett for telling him at a January hearing before the injunction was issued that nothing would be happening with regard to one key part of Obama's actions, an expansion of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, until Feb. 18. "Like an idiot I believed that," Hanen said.And I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear this, but the Department of Justice is protecting Hillary from having to reveal her allegedly "private" emails.
The Justice Department is defending former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from a motion to subpoena her private emails under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). "Such action is unnecessary and inappropriate under FOIA," DOJ officials wrote in a legal briefing filed Thursday. Officials were responding to a case launched by Larry Klayman, the founder of the conservative watchdog group Freedom Watch. ... The Justice Department describes Klayman’s call for a subpoena as "speculation" in its brief. "Plaintiff provides no basis, beyond sheer speculation, to believe that former Secretary Clinton withheld any work-related emails from those provided to the Department of State," the agency says.Riiiight. But in the meantime, Trey Gowdy has sent a letter to Hillary asking her to turn over her Mystery Servers to a neutral third-party in order to ascertain if official documents have been deleted.
Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, has sent a letter to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's attorney requesting that she turn over her private email server to the State Department's Inspector General or to another neutral third party. "The Committee must have objective assurances it, and by extension the House of Representatives as a whole, has received all relevant information requested and necessary for a thorough investigation into what happened before, during and after the attacks in Benghazi, Libya," he wrote in the letter. "More broadly, the equities in these emails extend beyond this Committee. The House of Representatives and the American people are entitled to a complete accounting of the Secretary's official record during her time as Secretary of State." The letter asks her to respond by April 4. "Should Secretary Clinton continue to maintain that the server and its contents are hers alone, I will inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives so that he can use the full powers of the House to take the necessary steps to protect the best interests of the American people," he added.Quotes From the Hearing Before Judge Hanen: @gabrielmalor earlier clipped some brutal bits from the hearing where Hanon quizzed our lying government about all of its lies.

Congress, Republicans and Democrats just like to pretend that he has a legitimate right to the office so they don't hang for treason. That's why they took impeachment off the table. That's why no one stops him. Because they are protecting themselves not Obama.

A massive flaw in the Constitution has been revealed.
The Separation of powers and the oversight by the House on budgetary matters and the Senate over appointments and treaties and the Supreme court on the Constitution have all just found out that without the power to compel, they have no power.

The Beltway GOP are terrified of taking on Historic First directly, but there's no reason why underlings should not be being hung out to dry.
Very interesting things can happen when low level people end up in front of the hot lights and under oath. Especially when they start to realize they might be thought of by their bosses as disposable patsies.
Recall that the Watergate scandal didn't really break wide open until minor figure Alexander Butterfield panicked under questioning and blurted out the existence of Nixon's secret tape recording system, something not known to the Congress up to that point.

I hope the administration quadruples down on violating the law and humiliating the judiciary. Easy to forget, but the disastrous indefensible legislative rampage of the judiciary is responsible for even more degradation of the country than the last six years of misrule by the alien freaks in DC. So have at it.
Most in the "let it burn" camp fundamentally misjudge the situation - no amount of "math" is going for force kineticdramatic change or awakening. The forces of irresponsibility have only begun to tap their options for distortion, theft, and can-kicking.
But an outright collapse in rule of law at a serious level might - slight chance, but might - suffice to shock at least those jealous of their own power prerogatives into action. A full disembowelmnet of rule of law is closest to fruition in immigration. All that's really missing is some good executive-on-judiciary action, and some defiant states leading to a serious national conflict with DC.

With regard to the House and Senate, I don't think this is true at all.
They have substantial power. They've just been cringingly cowed by fear of being called racist into a refusal to use that power.
Eric Holder should have been impeached, for example, after refusing subpoenas. And if he refused to appear, the House Sergeant at Arms should have been dispatched with a squad of U.S. Marshals to bring him in by force.
If nothing else, the ensuing drama would have made clear to the general public that something had gone very very wrong with the normal course of operations of the federal machinery.

Posted by: Grad School Fool at March 20, 2015 06:39 PM (A9KzJ)
actually, no they don't. The reason is because they rely on the Department of Justice (joke) to enforce their rulings/findings.
Like Stalin once said: "How many divisions does the Pope have?".
How big and army/police force does the supreme court have or the senate or the house?
Without the power to compel they can't get shit done. (that's even if they wanted to).
If the Supreme court through some miracle decides that the IRS provisions about subsidies is wrong, who's going to enforce that ruling?
This may be why Roberts didn't rule against it in the first place. He knew they would defy the court so he's trying to maintain a facade of having power knowing full well he cannot enforce one damn word if the DOJ doesn't do it.

Stop and think for a moment (all of you).
Who runs the Marshal's? the DOJ
Who enforces federal law? the DOJ
Who operates the federal prosecutors? the DOJ
Any time you claim that one of the other 2 branches of Gov't has power, remember that they rely on the 3rd to enforce that power.
If the DOJ says NO. There is nothing that can be done.
As I said; major flaw.

They have to defend her for the Won's sake. He knew she was using her own email setup and didn't care. He probably also didn't care about the foundation shenanigans. They have to let the investigation die down so that even the dumb journalists don't start wondering why this went on under their boyfriend's nose.
That, or Shrill threatened to take them down with her.

Jimmy Fallon might be a lefty Obama tool, but there are reasons he has a semi successful late night talk show and Sanz doesn't, despite being pot buddies together on SNL, and both being dems.
One is that he Fallon learned to check his leftiness a little after the Michelle Bachmann debacle. When he had Sarah Palin on he was a gracious host to her, it actually surprised me. Sanxz could not do that in a million years.
Also Fallon has slightly more talent and drive and attractiveness, that always helps.

Can't Fire... Fines are paid by the Taxpayer...
Sure, he can jail the attorney... but that won't stop the US Government from doing whatever the hell it wants to anyway.
Because, Laws are only applicable, if they can be both enforced.... and the person who breaks the law can be punished for that transgression.

2) Toss them in jail.
3) Get them disbarred.
4) Issue an immediate order revoking all papers fraudulently issued by the Obama administration.
Make those people realize that lying for Obama has serious, painful consequences. Make the illegals realize that Obama is not only lying to the court, but lying to them.

You know, not to get philosophical, but I wonder something - Obama has shown, repeatedly, that he is willing to violate his oath of office, lie, and generally abuse his power to get what he wants. And he has shown that he faces little, if any consequence for those action.
The recent collapse of the Republicans may be based on that realization - in the last 2 years of President "Who-gives-a-fuck" they don't want to give him excuses to further expand his lawless powers. Better that 100,000 illegals get citizenship and keep Obamacare than to have martial law and congress jailed.

.357 Magnum based on the .38 Special

.40 SnW based on the 10mm Auto
155 gr (10 g): 1,205 ft/s 500 ft·lbf
I guess the big distinction is that the .357 was designed for revolvers and the .40 was designed for semi-auto pistols.

Basically that they ignore the base, especially on immigration which is why they lost my donations. I also add they need to kick all illegal aliens out and that I will not vote for them unless they do that FIRST.
I always finish up with "If the Reuplican Party is going to act like a bunch of democrats I might as well vote for a Democrat".
I know its a waste of time.
My next move is to cut up all the other junk mail , shove it in the envelope if its prepaid and mail it back.

If I order attorney's fees, who pays it?
MS. HARTNETT: Well, the United States.
THE COURT: Well, United States taxpayers pay it, right?
MS. HARTNETT: Your Honor, I -- again, I -- We have this...
THE COURT: Well, answer my question. The United States taxpayers?
MS. HARTNETT: Ultimately, yes.
THE COURT: All right. So that means that the states, the people that have already suffered the damage, if there is damage, actually end up paying their own sanctions, right?
MS. HARTNETT: In that respect, Your Honor, yes, but...
THE COURT: okay.

Hey thanks, I read number post 97.
I don't give a hoot how it looks on the evening news dragging illegal aliens across the border. Pack the whole family off together if they want to stay as a family unit. I should care, it's a valid concern. The opposition would run wild with it.
They need to end this birthright citizenship loophole. Taht would stop a lot of this nonsense.
We have citizens who can't get jobs and we have lawbreakers competing for what little jobs there are. Put that on the evening news. I believe the balck community is starting to wake up to this because they have been the hardest hit.
This HB-1 visa crap has to stop also. Put a realistic salary requirement and that will stop all that.
Look, I'm not against immigrants. My wife and daughter are immigrants but we did it the right way.
This whole mess is a slap in the face to anyone who followed the law to immigrate. Maybe we need to get some of them on the news.

Yeah... but if you can get a Judge laughing????
Had a situation where I got a parking ticket in Va Beach VA. for 2 motorcycles parked in the same space...
Walked up as the meter maid was writing the ticket... and you could see that my Bike was in the center of the spot... someone else I did not know had parked beside it...
Tried to explain... but she didn't care...
Next DAY, I was on a 6 month US Navy Deployment... did the paperwork and the Navy was supposed to go get me a continuance so I could fight the ticket.... they didn't.
Pulled back into Norfolk, and was taken off the ship in cuffs for 'Failure to Appear'....
Spent my first night back stateside after 6 months... in Jail... for a parking ticket...
Next morning... explained all this to a Judge... ended with "just glad I didn't run a Red Light... or it would probably be a death sentence case by now...'
Judge Laughed, made me pay the original fine... and let me go....

You truly misunderstand how shit gets done in Washington, and any Member of Congress' state and district offices. You also misunderstand what it takes to get a member (trust me, they're all really "members") to listen to you.
Take this from a guy who used to answer constituent mail sent over to DoD from the Hill.
I especially enjoyed the thrice annual proposals from various prisons around the country written by inmates who proposed the creation of a "Dirty Dozen" style brigade in the Army where prisoners could have their sentences commuted.
Yes. Those were always the best.
I think I most enjoyed the illiteracy. But I have to admit the the illegibility was always a hit too. Or....or maybe I really just loved them for the spiral bound notebook paper upon which they were written...complete with frayed edges.

Forgive me, I am in a long-term rage state brought on by the likes of out current bunch of traitorous politicians and was perhaps a bit sarcastic.
In reality, I think this is an excellent idea, but I don't have any practical suggestions as to how to get it into a functional process. I think jwest #97 is a start, and Allen's response could be the basis of something really good. Y-not and WeirdDave are also running a fantastic thought provoking "seminar/bloginar" here as well. And I agree, a conservative position honed by Horde constructive criticism should be one that could be presented effectively to a much larger office, if you could find a spokesperson or candidate with the balls to present it.
A key problem IMHO is that you need an administrator/adjudicator and some non-trivial collaborative tools to do something like this as well as a lot of time to get in a presentable state, particularly the interpretive dance part.

Could someone put together an "E-Z Guide to Twitter" for we
non-tweeters? I can't tell whether I'm supposed to read from the bottom
up or from the top down, or what the difference is between @ and #, and
why a site like Twitchy takes 20 minutes to load, or if I'm supposed to
scroll all the way to the bottom and then scroll up, or if the whole
enterprise is just a way to ensnare celebrities and share snark.
Posted by: Don't Get It Guy at March 20, 2015 08:39 PM (yxw0r)
On twitter itself, the most recent tweet is at the top. Twitchy, I believe, reorders them to read from top down....i.e., the order in which they were typed, so the oldest tweet is first or the original tweet if you will, followed by replies to the original tweet.
@ precedes someones twitter handle, i.e., @AceofSpadesHQ. If you wanted to send a tweet to ace, you would have to type that first, followed by your msg.
# is what's called a 'Hashtag'. People use it to get something 'trending' or group tweets about a particular subject. If you click on the hashtag you will go to a page that contains all the tweets where people included that hashtag as part of their tweet.
There? Clear as mud?

I don't doubt your sincerity at all. In fact, I'm totally with you.
I'm just saying that the VAST majority of members view us as rubes and proles. They believe that they're in Congress because they're smarter than the average bear and the very fact that we're NOT there serves as proof of our low-class status.
I've even seen - up close and personal - "Horde approved" members treating their own constituents like shit. They really DO think they're special.
So, when you get in a member's face as you described, they just smile, and go home and laugh about that guy who thinks his opinion means anything.
You get a members attention by forming a group, raising money, writing op-eds against him, and talking to anyone who will listen. It's a pitifully slow process....but once you reach critical mass, it's the only thing that gets their attention.

One of the great things here is the unflagging optimism on display.

Yes and no.
My view is tempered by the reality that they're unlikely to listen for quite some time and time is really what we're running out of.
Come on....let's drink to the burning times before someone steals my last shot of Pappy 23-year old.

These are worth bookmarking, because he approaches the subject in a methodical manner. He points out that most people who consider themselves "preppers" are thinking in terms of SHTF or TEOTWAWKI type scenarios, which are low probability.
His series starts out with more common calamities like house fires or your car breaking down miles from nowhere, and scale up from there. Definitely worth a read.

Exactly! Another bonus is that you can be ugly and stupid and in the majority or the minority, but all the perks will still accrue so long as you don't do anything to slow down the Establishment gravy train!
Tell me again why they want to listen to reasoned positions on small Constitutional government!

Unlike my retirement savings. I am much more confident I will not outlive my ammo savings."
You would be surprised by how lead is still out there other in bullet form. It is easily recastable into the caliber bullet you wish. The formula for gunpowder is pretty simple. A little experimentation and you will have a acceptable substitute for what you buy in your local shop for reloading. Electricity is not needed to machine new casings from Brass stock. Casting brass stock is also relatively easy.
The shop to produce all this is easily hidden by woods or underground.
Research is the key.

If you like yer lesbian films, and if you're on this site chances are you are a connisewer, then you might like "I've Heard the Mermaids Singing". Not much sexy stuff, but there's some good puncturing of art world puffery.

___% of gays discriminated against
___% of Americans getting fu(ked by Obamacare
Which number is higher?
Which number never makes the news?

So what's the sanction? A fine (which has been ruled out, apparently)
would simply penalize the taxpayers and no one else. You know, insult to
injury.
But what is the price to be paid? Who and how many are going to jail
and for how long? Anything short of that is a no ckufing deal.
Accountability is the one thing forbidden at the Federal level. Always.

The states' attorneys are asking the judge to allow early discovery (forcing the federal government to turn over documents without allowing any delay).
Posted by: redbanzai at March 20, 2015 09:18 PM (5DGKy)
Let's play a game. Say this DOJ and this President publicly stated that
this Federal Judge in Texas is untrustworthy and have decided to have
him removed from the bench.
Only Congress has the power to impeach.

Okay, so thus far:
Soapbox - ineffective
Ballot box - ineffective
Jury box - ineffective

No, it was always pretty apparent that the Constitution lacked an effective "or else" clause with regard to government shenanigans. As Lysander Spooner said a long time ago: "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much
is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have
had, or has been powerless to prevent it."
