What a shame that FDR didn't arrest Prescott Bush for trading with the enemy during the Second World War, strip that family of its assets and force them to actually have to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.

Wow, John Kerry was impressive. Smart and knowledgeable.  He should have been President.

The Republicans were total boobs--uninformed political hacks (Corker excepted.)

Johnson of Wisconsin tried to embarrass Secretary Moniz over Electro Magnetic Pulses and some report that was issued in 2008.  Moniz said he had not heard of that particular report, and Johnson tried to say the Moniz was stupid.  Moniz said he was aware of the issue and had made recommendations about it.  Had nothing to do with the Iran nuke deal.

"sent to Earth to protect us," according to Laura VadBunker, the mother of 39-year-old Dawn VadBunker, who used to work for [the dead space-alien's fiancée, Catherine] Nebron.

"I can't believe this," Laura VadBunker told KTLA. "It's worse than a Twilight Zone movie. He was part alien and part human and was out to save the world."

Let me repeat. My numbers are accurate. I don't doubt yours. I would appreciate the name of your company so I can raise some questions with my state's commission.

I only had 10 years in Naval Aviation so I get no benefits.

BTW - We're talking across each other. I took your comment as calling me a liar, see my original reply and for some reason you think I was calling you one. Nope, see my comment #163.

But my numbers are correct. Medicare premium is $104. Hospital co pay is $1260 per stay within 60 days. A good Part D plan is around $80 and my United Health Care premium was over $250 when I opted out went Cigna Medigap  which has a $72 premium with a $4400 out of pocket.

And I am not opposed to Medicare. In fact I have stated that we need a single payer system modeled on Medicare without the 80/20. But it is in trouble unless Congress ups the funding and the 20% is a huge problem unless you have a SI. And the numbers double, which I did note at the end but you may have missed.

2 People Reportedly Killed, Including Gunman, in Shooting at Louisiana Theater; Multiple Injured

Should the law be struck down as unconstitutionally vague and overbroad and not meeting strict scrutiny?

Three decisions cumulatively portray Terry's application in a traffic-stop setting: Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106 (1977) (per curiam); Maryland v. Wilson, 519 U.S. 408 (1997); and Brendlin v. California, 551 U.S. 249 (2007).

In Mimms, the Court held that "once a motor vehicle has been lawfully detained for a traffic violation, the police officers may order the driver to get out of the vehicle without violating the Fourth Amendment's proscription of unreasonable searches and seizures." 434 U.S., at 111, n. 6.

Wilson held that the Mimms rule applied to passengers as well as to drivers. Specifically, the Court instructed that "an officer making a traffic stop may order passengers to get out of the car pending completion of the stop." 519 U.S. at 415.

It is true, the Court acknowledged, that in a lawful traffic stop, "[t]here is probable cause to believe that the driver has committed a minor vehicular offense," but "there is no such reason to stop or detain the passengers." Id. On the other hand, the Court emphasized, the risk of a violent encounter in a traffic-stop setting "stems not from the ordinary reaction of a motorist stopped for a speeding violation, but from the fact that evidence of a more serious crime might be uncovered during the stop." Id., at 414. "[T]he motivation of a passenger to employ violence to prevent apprehension of such a crime," the Court stated, "is every bit as great as that of the driver." Ibid. Moreover, the Court noted, "as a practical matter, the passengers are already stopped by virtue of the stop of the vehicle," id., at 413-414, so "the additional intrusion on the passenger is minimal," id., at 415.

Completing the picture, Brendlin held that a passenger is seized, just as the driver is, "from the moment [a car stopped by the police comes] to a halt on the side of the road." 551 U.S., at 263. A passenger therefore has standing to challenge a stop's constitutionality. Id., at 256-259.

After Wilson, but before Brendlin, the Court had stated, in dictum, that officers who conduct "routine traffic stop[s]" may "perform a `patdown' of a driver and any passengers upon reasonable suspicion that they may be armed and dangerous." Knowles v. Iowa, 525 U.S. 113, 117-118 (1998). That forecast, we now confirm, accurately captures the combined thrust of the Court's decisions in Mimms, Wilson, and Brendlin.

He's a retired detective robbing banks without disguise and yet no one in LE recognized him enough to turn him in.

Omg it was so worth it.   The look on Joes face while the presidential like jet and motorcade and swarms of press was described - like he was in the process of passing a brick, the clueless regal sniffing of Queen Mica tut tuting the poor dumb masses.

Yikes.

Attorneys for six Baltimore police officers charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray said in a court filing Thursday that prosecutors either failed to turn over evidence or lied about conducting a thorough investigation into Gray's death.

The evidence already provided by prosecutors is "completely devoid of any information obtained during the course of the State's investigation," the defense attorneys said, leading them to conclude that "either the State is withholding the information from its investigation, or there was no investigation."

Trump - 28%
Bush - 14%
Walker - 13%
Carson - 7%

McCain is seen favorably on the military side but he is considered a RINO by many.

Santorum is personable, and has good diction for a white guy, but WOW, what a maroon!  He clearly did not understand Marbury V. Madison or the Constitution.

If I were one of these candidates running for the GOP nomination I would keep my mouth shut when it comes to criticizing Trump. He's moved into 2nd place in Iowa and may even take over Walker for first place.

The stupid burns with these people. And I think they know they've been stupid too.

He gets one bit wrong.  Hannibal is no longer under Chiltons care, they just had dessert.  But it's still a good review.

"Spat Breaks Out Over Plans for Clinton's Testimony Before Benghazi Committee,"  rambles through Benghazi, the "Republican-led Committee" invitation to testify, the acceptance by Clinton and two versions of the "classified" or sometimes referred to as "secret" information.

  Inspectors General are sometimes referred to as investigators, unless there are not really the same.   But, whomever or whatever, these investigative people said that the information was not marked as classified (or secret) but should have been stored only on government computer networks.

 But, then again, the issue boiled down to , they report, the absence of a process for resolving disputes between State and other departments of the government about differences over how to classify documents.  Because FOIA.  And, the article states with regard to testifying, "and, by day's end, it was not clear what exactly they were arguing over."  

She writes that the article details, "the abuse the women describe suffering at the hands of the embattled comedian..."

Yeah.
