| | Help Me Understand....Page 9 of 11 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) | Mr Bluesman, he is probably both... and DESPERATE. What kind of fool thinks he can fire the SEC guy if he were president...?? That is just plain NUTS...!! Can someone please talk to his advisors and ask them to tell HIM to stop saying ALL those stupid things...?? Thanks.....
Since the Chairman of the SEC is a Presidential appointment he serves at the pleasure of the President.Take a civics course.
You Obama supporters shouldn't be so worried about the Republicans.A new survey shows that 1/3 of Democrats are Racists.I just read it on MSN.com. It's in a study made by Stanford University.So when you wake up on 11/6/08 and things didn't go your way look inside your on party . | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/21/2008 8:57:31 AM | LOL, Eric, what makes you think we don't know that? Did you sleep through the primary season? Have you forgotten that we had people in every state saying that they would not vote for Obama simply because he is not 100% white? | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/21/2008 9:13:50 AM | Mr. eric, while is true that the SEC is a presidential appointee, it is also true that it has to be CORROBORATED by congress. The same happens if such person needs to be dismissed. THAT ALSO HAS TO BE CORROBORATED BY CONGRESS. So, I guess is YOU who need the civic course.. Learn more about the bureaucratic machine. By the way, next time that You try to put tags on me ( a.k.a. OBAMA supporter), PLEASE take the time to READ my points of view in this and another forums. Is easy to make assumptions an jump to conclusions. Being part native american indian, I KNOW FIRST HAND WHAT RACISM IS..!! It comes in all sizes and shapes.. from EVERY SPECTRUM OF "SOCIETY". I know because I have to live with it EVERYDAY. And the truth be told, It does not KNOW political affiliation. I hope this clarified things for YOU..!!  | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/21/2008 9:17:22 AM | Just in case You didn't getit. I AM NOT A SUPORTER FOR ANY OF THE SO CALLED CANDIDATES. !! None of them does anything for me...!!  | |
|
| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/21/2008 9:17:47 AM | I guess you didn't know the President could remove the Chairman of the SEC since you didn't mention it. I was only pointing out the Democratic parties own racist problems. How can you change Washington if you can't change you're own party? | |

Actually just because he has to be confirmed by the Senate(not Congress) does not mean that the President has to get permission from Congress to remove him.Case in point any member of the Cabinet can be fired by the President without Congressional approval even though the Senate has to Approve their Appointment.There are no members of the Government whose appointment has to be approved by the Congress,But there are many who must be approved by the Senate only.Take a Civics class and you will know these things. P.S. look at my profile and notice my racial background.I used to attend manyDemocratic Party functions locally.I got tired of being asked my ancestry.Its never happened at a Republican or Libertarian function.

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/22/2008 4:41:35 AM | Mr. eric, I won't Begin and argument about WHO needs the civic course. That is irrelevant and belongs to another thread. But I will tell You this. #1.- The SEC is a COMMISION, not an individual. Compose by 5 multi-partisan members, including independents "liberals". #2.- The senate is PART of congress. The congress is composed of the upper and lower houses. Being the upper the senate. So, with out getting into details of syntax and contexts, CONGRESS HAS to corroborate the "appointees" . By the way, senate comes from the latin, "SENATUS " which means the council of the elder. No kidding, no wonder they all are "SENILE"... #3.- Thanks to Myers Vs. Unites Estates. The congress approval is not necessary to corroborate or dismiss some cabinet members or COMMISIONS.. But NOT the SEC. That has to be ratified BY the senate as well as is dismissal. Regarding your experiences of "racism" in the "democratic" gatherings. I am reading right your statement. That came after You mentioned your ancestry or probably your last name. Which, if You had not mentioned, probably nothing would have happened. It has occurred to You that You are being accepted in the other party because You "look" white..?? Because EVERYWHERE I go, is a whole different story with me. I even have been called "illegal"... Go figure..! But I can tell You that I am PROUD of my ancestry, .. of my heritage... and my "looks" ...!! If people likes it, that is fine, if they don't.. OHh.well!! They have a problem, I DON'T..!! But this is getting way out of topic, so I suggest we get back to it....  | |

1) Neither McCain nor myself have called for the firing of the Commission.McCain called for the firing of the Chairman.You claimed that the President couldn't do that without permission of the Congress. 2)You used the wrong term which implied a certain ignorance of the process 3)Myers Vs. The United States basically states that the Legislative branch does not have the power to block the President from REMOVING ANY OFFICIAL HE APPOINTS BECAUSE OF ARTICLE 2 OF THE CONSTITUTION.It therefore rendered the Tenure Act of 1867 UNCONSTITUTIONAL and basically stated that in order for the legilature to limit the President's power they need a Constitutional Amendment.You basically countered your own argument.Typically I don't quote case law but since you started I thought I might clear things up for you.ONE of my degrees is in Political Science so civics is one of my hobbies. Now for the racial issues of your post.I have never mentioned my Racial background at a meeting,but the Democratic Parties local leadership seems obsessed with it( white and black).I have an Olde English surname so that has no bearing | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/22/2008 12:43:06 PM | Mr. eric. again.. .-- I never said YOU called for the firing of the the SEC. Mr. Mc.Cain DID!!!! Watch what he says on TV.. actually says it TWO times.. once he mentions Mr Cox by name. The other says "SECT'' which is not the SEC .. but that is forgiven and forgotten. THE GUY IS OLD.. so, he probably has alzheimer's.. and YES It can not be fired with out consent from congress...the upper house, or senate as You want. .- Thanks for calling me ignorant. .- If I mentioned Myers vs. United States, is because it gives way to MARBURY vs. MADISON. WHICH STATES THAT THE EXECUTIVE HAS NOT ... HAS NOT... NOT.. THE ABSOLUTE POWER OR DISCRETION TO DISMISS ANY OF IS SUBORDINATES. !!!!! Congratulations on your degree.. but I suggest You go back to school or ask for Your money back.. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME... and money. Who do You think You are talking to.. And trust me I DID NOT EVEN FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL..!! But I taught myself in this and other issues.!! Which by itself, is irrelevant also. .- Regarding the racial issues. YOU brought that up.. and started to quote me.. So. it WAS YOU.. who started this. My personal opinion still stands.. MR. MC CAIN IS OLD, A LIAR, SENILE, AND DESPERATE....!! Just for your information, I am NOT in this world to please ANYONE.. I go on with my life, living it MY WAY... if people likes it, well.. if they don't.. well.. including my own family...! What Am I saying this..?? Because I try to live my life with out offending ANY ONE, so if someone messes with me, I will answer back..
Now, Can we please get back to topic.. ??  | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/22/2008 2:16:09 PM | | Members of the religious right will always vote for the Republican ticket regardless of the candidates, something I wish Democrats could do, be more unified as a single collective entity. McCain is conservative, but Sarah Palin is even more conservative, this woman has a pregnant teen daughter & is still pro life in ciricumstances including rape & incest! She is try to convince McCain to drill in ANWR. The pro-gun, pro life, pro-military expansionists, those who want lower taxes in a time when it's simply out of the government's budget, these are McCain's strongest supporters. | |
|
| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/22/2008 4:34:21 PM | There you go again.Marbury vs. Madison does not have anything to do with whether or not the President has the right to dismiss a subordinate it is primarily the decision that states that the courts have the right to determine whether a law can be determined to be constitutional or not and it also stated the Congress shall not have the right to pass laws that supercede the Cconstitution.It also outlined the process whereby people seek redress with the court concerning constitutionality of laws. Myers vs The United States reiterates the rights of the Supreme Court to declare an action of Congress to be unconstitutional.Article II of the Constitution outlines the process of appointment of certain Executive Branch Government officials and the powers of the Chief Executive Officer.Myers v USA states that the Congress cannot limit the Executive Branch without amending the Constitution. Somewhere you are reading Case Law and getting exactly the opposite of what it is saying. | |
|
| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/22/2008 4:50:43 PM | It has not ANYTHING TO DO..??? Do YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT EXECUTIVE MEANS..?? IT APLYES To ALL EXECUTIVES.. INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT..!!! as in EXECUTIVE..?? WHATEVER HIS/HER NAME IS...!! And because of it, it determined that the EXECUTIVE has NOT absolute power BECAUSE the CONSTITUTION COULD NOT... NOTT.. BE AMMENDED IN SUCH ISSUE!! .. as I said. This is WAAYYYY out of topic.. how is the weather by the way.??  | |

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The legislative branch cannot interfere with the executive branch in their internal machinations without passing an amendment to the Constitution And the executive branch does not need permission to fire people who do not please them in their branch exclusively.But the executive branch cannot remove a member from the Judiciary without an impeachment hearing.Just as a judge cannot remove a member of Congress or a member of the Executive Branch.The SEC Chairman is appointed by the executive branch with Senate Confirmation and can therefore be removed by the Chief Executive Officer Without Congressional approval. | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/22/2008 5:47:42 PM | WOOWWW... I am glad You understand... CONGRATULATIONS...!! ... But You have the MEANING OF THE ISSUES BACKWARDS... Would YOU do me a favor.. GO BACK TO YOUR BOOKS..!! and back to the TOPIC...!!! As I said .. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO..?? Holly crap... there is such people in this world..!! I can not believe this ,,,,, !!!! Anyhow,,, uhh.. how is the family..??  | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/23/2008 7:33:46 AM | Unfortunately some people don't.I have give you the interpretations of every TEXTBOOK used in schools across the US.These aren't my opinion of the Case Law this is how they would try to teach you in Law School what these Cases mean ,if you wont listen and you want to tell lies .So be it. Don't call someone a NUT when you don't know what you talking about.Maybe It's you not me.I tried to contact you privately to tell you that what you were saying was contrary to accepted schooling and suggested a course of action to fix the problem and you called me a racist. That's how a lot of people react when try to help them.When your wrong you just call them a racist. Your loss. | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/23/2008 5:49:51 PM | Mr. eric, this will be the last time I will be addressing You. And because of it, I would very much like to share something with You. But then again, I did not called You a racist.. YOU BEHAVED LIKE ONE!! But as I said before, I do not care what people, INCLUDING YOU, thinks about me. Thanks for You help but I do not need it. Now, back to business. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/marbury.html Please pay special attention to the paragraph that reads as follows: "The discretion of the executive is to be exercised until the appointment has been made. But having once made the appointment, HIS POWER OVER THE OFFICE IS TERMINATED IN ALL CASES, where, by LAW, the officer is NOT removable by him. The right to the office is then in the person appointed and has THE ABSOLUTE, UNCONDITIONAL POWER OF ACCEPTING OR REJECTING IT." Is very.. uhh... educational stuff... please enjoy. ohh... uhhh.. and have a nice life!  | |
|
| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/23/2008 6:00:37 PM | Ps.- Something that I forgot to add to Mr. McCain's resume. Besides being old, senile and desperate., he is also an opportunist. In my OWN VERY PERSONAL OPINION...!  | |
|
| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/23/2008 6:20:51 PM | | In the interest of keeping this thread open and not dumped by the mods may I suggest a time out and retreat to your separate corners to regroup before you come out swinging again? | |

As I said in one my previous posts The Chief Executive cannot remove a member of the judiciary such as Marbury was once his appointment was signed without an Impeachment hearing.I stated that in a previous post.The Chairman of the SEC is a member of the Executive branch and under the sole authority of the Executive branch and subject to Executive Removal. | |

| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/24/2008 1:45:31 PM | | Okay this is getting CRAZY! Now McCain wants to pull out of the debates to focus on the economy he helped destroy? What's he going to do? Another ploy by camp McCain. Man this guy REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wants to be president! He will stop at nothing to do so. Absolutely NOTHING. What does he think pulling out of a 2hour debate is really going to do to help the economy? And it's on a FRIDAY at 6pm to boot! If the debates where any other day of the week I might by about 20% of this junk but a FRIDAY at 6PM and he wants to pull out to focus on the economy? Sounds like he's scared or just isn't prepared to face tough questions posed to him about his involvement of where we are financially. Wow.... and we thought we seen it all. We are witnessing a man literally, mentally coming apart at the seems. | |

Hey Chicken Little, he said 'postpone', not 'cancel'.
Obama was the second largest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I'm sure that's because all of the work he did to keep them under control, eh? | |
|
| Help Me Understand.... Posted: 9/24/2008 3:15:46 PM | UMM... SKIER...postpone / cancel who cares! What McCain is showing (and you know this) is FEAR. He's also making a fool of himself with his impulsive decisions too. Fire SEC chairmen, Palin pick, and now this. With every decision McCain is showing himself NOT to be presidential. This guy is all about himself. Nothing more. This is the most obvious of political posturing. And YOU KNOW IT! Wants to focus on fixing the economy he helped destroy... PLEASE! And for your information, Reid just told him to "STAY AWAY" his help will NOT be needed in washington. C'mon GUY IN FREDDY KRUGER GEAR, be honest. This is a BAD, BAD, BAD MOVE. He's trying to use this economic situation to his advantage. And SO WHAT if Obama was 2nd largest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie. What does THAT have to do with McCains poor voting record and policies over the last 8 years? Again, be honest, if you were advising McCain, YOU wouldn't have suggested he "POSTPONE" the debate. Especially now. Bottom line, your boy is showing his age, his tempermant, his fear, and his ability to sink to even lower depths. And for the record, Obama called him this morning and suggested they release joint statements concerning the crisis. And what did your boy McCain do? He released HIS OWN statement and tried to take it a step further by suggesting they POSTPONE the debates. And it's ALREADY BACKFIRING ON HIM BIG TIME. The epitome of political posturing. What? Your boy can't do two things at once? What kind of president can't deal with TWO issues at once!
Funny how truth about who we are usually finds its way to the surface in a crisis. And this is a perfect example. This guy is NOT nor will he EVER BE ready to lead this country. Doesn't have the mental capacity, patience, fortitude or the SMARTS. He's done. | |
