Supreme Court Baby Mama Drama

Most of what comes out of the United States Supreme court is as dry and boring as the sands of the Kalahari Desert during a drought. Historically, any drama is usually generated by the justices themselves, such as whether or not Uncle Clarence will break his five year silence and speak from the bench or go home and bitch slap his silly wife, who is this close to getting him impeached.

Normal baby mama drama is left for the lower courts to decide, until now, anyway. Add in the Tea Party, weapons of mass destruction and Phyllis Schlafly and you have a cat fight, the likes of which will cause the boys in Jerry Springer's audience to jump up out of their seats in appreciation.

The story begins on an ordinary note with a cheating husband, a spurned wife and a pregnant mistress. Everybody knows everybody else. In fact the two women are BFFs. Wife and husband tried for years to get pregnant but to no avail. However, while hubby shot only blanks with his wife, he connected on the first, second or maybe third shot with best friend.

Wife, Carol was happy for her friend, that is until she found out who the baby daddy was. Then she was pissed. I mean real pissed. Girlfriend started having panic attacks and losing her hair. But she didn't take it out on Clifford, her husband. She went after Myrlinda, her former BFF.

Carol started calling at all hours of the day and night, leaving nasty messages and threatening to send dead people to Myrlinda's house. It got so ugly that Myrlinda called police and finally Carol was brought up on minor harassment charges and convicted. But it didn't end there.

Carol, who is a microbiologist by profession went on the internet and ordered some kill-you-when-you-touch-it poisons and spread the deadly stuff all over Myrlinda's house, mailbox, car, phone and anything else where she might make contact and die. Only problem was, in her rage Carol didn't think things through enough because she apparently ordered the poisons in powder form and Myrlinda could see the stuff. She tested it with her finger and did burn her finger tip, but it wasn't serious.

Myrlinda called the local cops again and again. They looked at it, said it looked like cocaine to them and that she should have her placed checked out. Then the cops went back to fighting DWB cases and profiling alleged illegal immigrants, leaving Myrlinda to deal with her own dusty house.

The very enraged wife then attempted to poison her rival no less than 24 more times with the same deadly stuff.

Myrlinda didn't know what to do so she told her mailman. Her mailman told his boss. His boss told the postal inspectors and they set up a video sting and caught Carol dumping her potent demon dust all over Myrlinda's property. That led to federal charges. Yes, they called in the feds.

The feds threw the kitchen sink at Carol charging her with terrorism designed to battle terrorists who try to use WMDs against America.  In other words they used the "Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction." This is a treaty between countries to combat the use of WMDs.

Carol and her lawyers immediately said this was not a viable charge and stated the feds had no puppy in this dog race, citing the 10th amendment to the United States Constitution. The 10th amendment is the one that states where federal government power ends and states rights begins. It's a favorite of the teabaggers and conservatives who are attempting to use it against anything Obama, specifically the health care reform law.

Carol was convicted anyway and sent to Club Fed for six years, faces five years of probation and a $2,000 fine when she gets out.

Carol immediately filed suit against the United States Government. An appeals court threw out the suit claiming Carol didn't have standing to bring the suit since the 10th amendment is between federal and state governments, not individuals. Carol is an individual. Carol appealed the ruling.  Tea Party conservatives, Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum, libertarian think tank Cato Institute, NRA activists and the attorneys general of South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Utah and Colorado have also jumped into the pool on Carol's side.

They don't give a damn about Carol and her baby mama drama, but they do want in on anything that may possibly stick it to the Black man in the White House.

This case is now in Uncle Clarence's lap. The high court is being asked to allow the suit against the USA to go forward and watchers say the justices seem inclined to let that happen. But only their ruling will say for sure what they are thinking. If Carol wins a favorable ruling it will open the door to declaring the recently passed health care law null and void. Which will make the conservative right very happy.

It may also invalidate parts of the United States Constitution.

At this writing...Carol is locked up in Club Fed....Myrlinda is alive and in hiding, one would guess....and Clifford...well he is still married to Carol....girlfriend is standing by her man.

Baby mama drama!

10th Amendment, Change, and Article 6

Man, it's absolutely amazing what can happen when a Black family moves into the previously all white neighborhood, or in this case, the White House. Take one individual, who's only difference from the rest of the individuals who lived in the house before is skin hue and watch the other paler hued individuals start freaking out and doing stupid stuff, like putting their houses up for sale, moving farther away from the dangerous urban center, or lose sleep attempting to figure out how to legally evict the black guy without burning down his very valuable house.

Lot's of scared individuals have joined the Tea Party factions, placing their hopes in seemingly like minded Congressional representatives who talk a good game, but are really just out to screw everybody while keeping a firm grasp on their cash cows. Regardless of what side of the aisle they sit on, the game is DC is always and only about the money, so let's not kid ourselves. Here. The conservatives on the Hill are about being obstructionists, nothing less. They want to keep the status quo intact, because they can make more money that way.

Conservatives at the state level, are just as scared as the guys on the federal level, however they are acting out in other ways. These State representatives are about protecting against what they perceive as the federal power grab. In other words, they have convinced themselves that Obama is going to take away their guns and their rights to act independently from the federal government.

They are in fear of living their final days on earth under a Socialist regime, whatever that is. They have convinced themselves that Obama is first, not a citizen and second, in violation of the United States Constitution, specifically, the Tenth Amendment in the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was ratified in December of 1791. To paraphrase the 10th, it says, “powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states by the constitution are reserved for the states and/or the people.”

Some of the stuff going on at state level are laws being passed, just in the past couple of weeks, in fact, are laws in South Dakota, signed last Friday, stating that federal regulation of firearms is not valid, if the gun is made and used in South Dakota. Wyoming has also jumped on this bandwagon with a similar law. South Dakota's Gov is GOP, Wyoming's Gov is a Democrat.

Oklahoma has approved a resolution saying its citizens should be able to vote on whether or not they, as a state, can opt out of Health Care Reform.

As usual, Utah went completely crazy, mandating that Health Care Reform cannot take affect without the permission of the state legislature. Another mandate gives the state authority to confiscate federal land using Eminent Domain statutes. This nut-so bunch even put into their state constitution that Utah has “inviolable sovereignty” under the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution.

Tennessee, Washington and Alabama are even going so far as to try and write into their state constitutions that their police forces have jurisdiction and precedence over federal troops, like the army navy and marines. Hmmmmmmmm....

Now the problem with all these new laws and resolutions is the same problem that all these interpreters of the Constitution have. It is the same problem suffered by fake pseudo Christians who take every opportunity to quote the Bible to all others. Maybe the problem exists because these types of conservatives usually inhabit both groups.

The problem.....they take everything out of context and fail to read the whole document while attempting to back up their sometimes silly arguments.

Yes, the 10^th Amendment does talk about states rights....But so does Article 6.

Article 6 simply says, and I'm paraphrasing again, “federal law is supreme and if there is a problem or conflict between state law and federal law, federal law prevails, “ period. And, Article 6 has been fire tested over and over in the Courts from the signing of the founding document, that these neocons say they are upholding and following to the letter.

Segregationists...the conservatives of their day tried it again and again, most recently in the 1950s and 1960s as a means of combating the civil rights of Black people, as well as in the 80s and 90s against the LGBT community. The neocons of today always respond by saying it's the Courts who get it wrong on interpretation...that's not what the founding fathers meant..

If the conservatives don't like the outcome, they blame others for the wrong interpretation. Case in point, last week, Texas Neocons on the School Board took Thomas Jefferson out of their social studies textbooks....His transgression....coining the theory of separation of church and state...

Neocons claim that separation of church and state is not and never has been implied in the Constitution...the government's wrong, and the courts are wrong for upholding it.

Another example of everyone else but Neocons getting it wrong....all the media polls stating that most people are against health care reform, when in actuality about 96% of the country favors change. The polls, just like in the 2008 election continue to ask only a very small group of the former majority their opinions, while not tapping into the new majority for their opinions.

The MSM was surprised and still fails to recognize that Obama won in a landslide vote, and that while there are issues, mainly everyone is basically okay with what he is trying to do....with the exception of the scared folks, of course..

Health Care reform, while very contentious in discussion, will probably win the same way. This is being born out by the fizzled Tea Bagger rally yesterday in DC, where 100s turned out when thousands were expected..

Once again, the real majority is revealing itself......again.

It remains to be seen when the MSM will wake up and start talking to the real majority...maybe they will have to start putting new majority representatives back into their own organizations and taking the blinders off to what's really happening in America.
