Good morning!

Going Nuclear on GOP Obstruction

On three recent occasions — January 2011, January 2013, and July 2013 — Senate Democrats threatened to make changes to the Senate filibuster rules in order to stop Republicans from obstructing even the most routine business of the Senate and slow-walking or simply blocking the president’s nominees. Each time, Democrats agreed to very modest changes to the rules or even simply a gentleman’s agreement with Republicans and each time Republicans broke their word and went back to their same old obstructionist ways.

In the past few weeks, things have gotten even worse than usual. Senate Republicans have embarked on an unprecedented campaign of obstruction:

• Republicans blocked the nomination of Rep. Mel Watt (D-NC) to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the agency that oversees mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He is the first African-American nominated to head the agency and the first sitting Member of Congress denied confirmation since the Reconstruction Era.

• Republicans blocked three highly-qualified nominees — two women and an African-American — to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is the second most powerful court in America and which is currently dominated by conservative, Republican-appointed judges. Aside from complaining that one nominee openly supports abortion rights some four decades after the Supreme Court affirmed that abortion is a constitutionally-protected medical procedure, Republicans offered basically no substantive opposition to the nominees. They simply indicated they will not allow President Obama to name anyone to fill the three vacant seats on the court, which even Chief Justice John Roberts agrees must be filled.

• Leading Republicans have already announced their plans to block two more top Obama nominees: Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve (the first woman in the world ever selected to lead a central bank) and Jeh Johnson, the first African-American nominated to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Republicans have reveled in this disturbing pattern of partisan obstruction, daring Democrats to change the Senate rules in order to eliminate the filibuster on nominations.

Well, it appears Republicans have made their bed and now they may have to lie in it.

A parade of Democrats, including some who have previously expressed strong opposition to the idea, have come forward in recent days to support changing the Senate rules:

• Sen. Barbara Boxer ((D-CA): “I am very open to changing the rules for nominees. … I was not before, because I felt we could work with them. But it’s gotten to an extreme situation where really qualified people can’t get an up-or-down vote.”
• Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA): “If ever there’s evidence for [a rules change], it is now.” Feinstein said she changed her position after a compromise deal reached last year to push through nominees did not stop obstruction from leaving crucial seats vacant. She told the Huffington Post it is “unconscionable” that Senate Republicans are now allowing a vote on Obama’s cabinet and judicial nominees.
• Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): “So far they have shut down the government, they have filibustered people [President Obama] has nominated to fill out his administration and they are now filibustering judges to block him from filling any of the vacancies with highly qualified people: We need to call out these filibusters for what they are: Naked attempts to nullify the results of the last election.” She added, “If Republicans continue to filibuster these highly qualified nominees for no reason other than to nullify the president’s constitutional authority, then senators not only have the right to change the filibuster, senators have a duty to change the filibuster rules. We cannot turn our backs on the Constitution. We cannot abdicate our oath of office.”
• Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), one of the original proponents of filibuster reform, said recently: “The Senate rules must change … This is a war on the other two branches of government and their ability to do the jobs the American people need them to do.”
• Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) is another longtime supporter of filibuster reform. He said last month: “We keep getting up to the edge of it, and then we make some, quote, gentleman’s agreement … and then you find out the gentleman’s agreement doesn’t hold. … I’ve been so frustrated by it.”
• Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV): The Senate majority leader holds the ultimate authority on whether Democrats invoke the nuclear option. He said Tuesday he is actively weighing a rules change, and won’t accept a deal to avert the nuclear option that includes anything less than confirmation of all three D.C. Circuit nominees stalled over the past few weeks. In July, Democrats scored a short-term victory with a deal to confirm seven executive branch nomineesin exchange for dropping filibuster reform. But just a few months later, they ended up facing the same sort of Republican obstruction.

Sen. Reid reportedly may move to end the GOP’s partisan obstructionism as soon as this week. We’ll be sure and bring you the latest updates.

BOTTOM LINE: We simply cannot allow a minority in Congress to retroactively veto laws and the results of elections. This is unfair, makes a mockery of our constitutional system, and represents the worst kind of partisan gridlock that the American people are sick and tired of. It’s time for the GOP’s unprecedented campaign of obstruction to end.

Good morning!

I figured since this was such a hot topic a few days ago and it made the news on MSNBC, it felt it was worthy of another post. This video shows a more complete version of what we all saw in the other video, and in case anyone is not clear about the law, and is interested in knowing, this will clear it up for you.

Good morning!

After yesterday’s post, I couldn’t help but post another write showing us once again, just how abusive police can really be. Once again…the power is given to the thugs with guns. And they use every opportunity to make up for what they lack in the sack. Even to the extent of brutally beating up a 14-year old kid!

There is some pretty charged banter going on in the comment section where I found this write. Not quoting his entire statement, one person stated: “…Don’t hate my color, hate THIS dick.” That about sums it up.

Was This 14-Year-Old Boy Brutally Tortured By Pennsylvania Police? (PHOTOS)

UPDATE: 11-18-13 11:00 AM EST

The mother of the 14-year-old boy who was subdued with a Taser in the face is calling into question whether the officer’s actions were appropriate.

“I know what my son did was wrong, but look at the picture, you think he deserved all that for retail theft?” Marissa  Sargent told LevittownNow.com exclusively on Saturday morning.

Sargent also alleged her son’s rights were violated because police officials “wouldn’t let me see him at the police station.”

“He’s a minor, I’m his parent, and I should’ve been able to talk to him while I was there” she said.

Sargent plans to file a complaint against the Tullytown Police Department. We’ll keep you updated on the latest.

A photo of a 14-year-old baby badly bruised, swollen and beaten has been making it’s way around the internet, posted by the teen’s mother her claims her son was abused by police.

Sharing the picture below on Facebook (which we warn is pretty graphic), the mom claims the police of Tullytown, Pennsylvania left her son’s eyes swollen and nose broken, after tasering him in the face.

This is my 14 yr old son who was brutually tortured By 2 Tully town officers he was handcuff but they say he resisted arrest that yall tazzed him in his face …not only that they took him to lower bucks hospital with out his mother consent they broke his nose n both eyes were swollen shut these prejudice cops need a rude awakening any one know anyone that can help my son please help they took hi…m to the police station n told me I could not come up there but as a mother who loves her child I did Go to the station they would not let me n at all they talked to me through the door I didn’t see my son for tree days n the cops says o he’s fine we ordered him pizza really? Any one who can help me get justice please comment I’m torn mad angry just can’t deal # HELPSee More

However the police seem to have a different story.

According to the police, after they handcuffed the teen and put him in the back of the cop car, he escaped leading to a chase and he refused to listen to orders. This, they claim led to them using a taser after several warnings.

Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler gave the following account to the Courier Times:

Tullytown police were called to Wal-Mart for a shoplifting incident.

Police took three males into custody. While in the back of a patrol car in handcuffs, one of them got away and started running toward Route 13.

Police gave chase, repeatedly warning the youth to stop.

Seeing the teen running toward Route 13 with his handcuffed hands behind his back, police feared for his safety. They warned him he would be hit with a Taser.

Heckler said he was told the police officer gave a warning to stop or he would use his Taser gun.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that police did warn the youth several times, Heckler said.

Not seeing him stop, police fired a Taser barb, hitting the boy in the shoulder and cheek.

The boy fell down. He was taken to a hospital and treated. He was then taken to the county juvenile detention center in Doylestown Township as he was under a juvenile probation violation, Heckler said.

Heckler says his office is not investigating the claims, but said if the boy’s mother comes forward and complains, he would look into it.

And while Heckler hasn’t spoken to the teenager he says juvenile probation spoke to the boy and the teen also told his probation officer that no one ever touched him.

Mmm… conflicting stories much? We’re sure in due time the truth will come out. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one. Until then let us know who’s story you believe.

*****

Readers: Is there any doubt whose story to believe? The injuries on this kid’s face is not from a fall. In my opinion this is police abuse. And, can you imagine not being able to see your son, a minor, for three days? Simply unacceptable. This would probably never have happened if he was white. Simply disgusting.

Thoughts? Blog me.

Zen Lill: I am sorry we haven’t chatted. I am just now getting caught up on all of the comments since last Saturday. Let’s try and connect this weekend.

Peace out.

Good morning!

From ABC News:

Minivan Stop Turns to Wild Chase for Mom, Kids

Video from a police dashboard camera showed how a routine traffic stop devolved into an intense incident that involved a high speed chase and a police officer appearing to shoot at van full of children.

The incident began when a woman who police have identified as Oriana Ferrell was pulled over by a New Mexico State Police officer for going 71 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone according to station KRQE-TV in Albuquerque, N.M.

The dash cam shows the woman and the officer arguing, and when the officer goes back to his car to check paperwork, the woman drives away and is pulled over again by the same officer.

When the officer goes to the car a second time he opens the door and demands that Ferrell get out of the car, yelling “Get out of the vehicle right now!”

When she refuses, the officer appears to attempt to pull her out of the car as her five children, ages 6 to 18, according to The Taos News, start screaming in the car.

After a few moments, the woman’s 14-year-old son gets out of the car and tries to engage the officer. But the officer pulls his taser and the teenager goes back into the car.

As the officer tries to get the woman to leave the car, he tells her that she is already facing charges for leaving the scene after she was first pulled over.

“Look, I’m going to ask you one more time to get out of the vehicle and then I’m going to pull you out, OK?” the officer said. “You’re already facing evading charges. You ran away from me.”

“Sir, I pulled back over, I didn’t run away,” the woman said. “You see my children. I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just trying to take them to the Rio Grande.”

Eventually the woman gets out of the car to talk to the officer, but when he tells her to turn and face the vehicle she tries to run back into the driver’s seat of the car. The incident quickly escalates with the woman’s son this time engaging the officer. Only after the officer aims his taser at the boy does he run back into the van.

As back-up arrives, the woman and her family are locked inside. The officer takes his baton and starts to break the windows of the van as he tries to get the family out of the car.

At that point the woman starts to drive away, and another officer who came on the scene later appears to fire three shots at the back of the minivan even though five children were in the back seat.

The woman leads the officers on a 10-minute chase before stopping in front of a hotel and turning herself in. Both the woman and her 14-year-old son were arrested.

The actions of the different officers and the fact that the routine traffic stop ended with an officer shooting at a car and a high speed chase has led to an internal investigation, the New Mexico State Police told ABCNews.com. However, the officers involved have not yet been removed from active duty.

Ferrell was charged with five counts of abuse of a child, aggravated fleeing an officer, resisting an officer, reckless driving and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to The Taos News. Her teenage son was charged with battery of an officer.

Readers:  And they say the mother was charged with intentional child abuse. Hello! One officer attacks the car with his baton. And another officer fires shots at the van that had 5 children in it! Was there no other way they could’ve stopped this woman’s van other than shooting at her car? Evidently yes, because after chasing her, she eventually pulled over.

What do you think? Blog me.

peace out.

Good morning!

Oh…Happy  Monday….

Open your mouth that you are an advocate for women’s rights and not only may your career be jeopardized, but the country as well when it comes to women having a voice on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a position where we really could use another strong intelligent woman on the bench who is committed to women and their rights.

From Think Progress:

Senate Republicans Filibuster Judicial Nominee Who Dared To Talk About Women’s Rights

*****

As expected, the Senate blocked an up-or-down confirmation vote Tuesday on one of the nation’s leading women’s rights attorneys, Georgetown University law professor Nina Pillard.

Pillard is one of three nominees to the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that Republicans committed to block. Democrats have warned that if Republicans go forward with their threat and block all three nominees, they will invoke what is known as the nuclear option, and change the Senate rules with a simple majority vote. Under existing rules, 60 votes are needed to invoke cloture and overcome a filibuster. The Senate vote Tuesday evening was 56-41, meaning that Pillard’s nomination had the support of a majority of senators but was nonetheless blocked.

Two weeks ago, Senate Republicans signaled their commitment to filibustering these nominees when they similarly blocked a vote on Patricia Millett, a nominee that has garnered little particularized opposition from Republicans. Instead, Senate Republicans have cited misleading statistics to claim that judges are no longer needed to fill the three vacant seats, belying the reality that filibustering Obama’s nominees would maintain the conservative stronghold over the court that has blocked environmental regulations and issued a radical ruling that could undercut all federal labor regulation.

Filibustering Pillard, who was rated unanimously well qualified by the American Bar Association, sends an even broader message. Unlike the generalized opposition to Millett and Obama’s third nominee to the D.C. Circuit, Judge Robert Wilkins, Republicans have aimed more personal attacks at Pillard. One prominent conservative group warned of Pillard’s “militant feminism,” saying, “America can’t afford to give a lifetime appointment to a radical ideologue!” And Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) attacked a law review article in which Pillard opposed gender stereotyping in public school curricula.

As Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) pointed out just before the vote, Pillard is also the third highly qualified woman whose nomination to the D.C. Circuit has been blocked by Senate Republicans. (The other two were Millett and Caitlin Halligan).

Today’s vote against Pillard may confirm what U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg predicted when she said her record as a women’s rights attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union “would probably disqualify” her from confirmation if she were nominated to the bench today.

The filibuster of Pillard not only brings Senate Democrats a step closer to invoking the “nuclear option.” It also suggests a grim future for judicial nominees who are open about their commitment to women’s and reproductive rights, and raises questions about who will carry on the legacy of Justice Ginsburg. Among those Republicans who voted against Pillard were a host of Republican senators who pledged during George W. Bush’s presidency never to filibuster a judicial nominee, and some who even said it was unconstitutional.

*****

Readers: Don’t you just love the last line of this write? So much for these repubs thinking filibustering a judicial nominee is unconstitutional anymore. As usual, they vote for whatever works best for them at the moment. In other words,  the hypocrisy is still alive and kicking.
