COMMENTERRY—
And, the beat goes on...

Pelosi is now saying she intends to maintain a position of leadership in the remaining pool of congressional democrats. Apparently she continues to misconstrue her re-election by a San Francisco neighborhood of fawning liberals to be an entitlement to some sort of national coronation.

Arrogance personified!

Hang in there miss Queenie. Your continuing presence in the democrat leadership will stimulate even more of the house cleaning that began in this election.

In Portland, Maine they recently voted on an issue that would allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections. The measure was defeated; but only by a margin of 52% against.

Forty-eight percent of that crowd favored the measure...

...in spite of the Fifteenth amendment to the US Constitution which says, in part, “Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall...”

Note the word “citizens” in this clause. That word usually is interpreted to mean “A native or naturalized person who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it.”

Forty eight percent of that crowd evidently believes they can simply disregard the US Constitution based on the popularity of some local whim.

Critics of the measure up there said, “If immigrants want to vote, they should become citizens.”

Amen!

Obozo and his bloated entourage are clicking up expenses reported to be somewhere between nothing and 200 million bucks a day on their current romp through India and Southeast Asia.

The London Daily Mail newspaper summed it up this way:

“Probably not since the days of the Pharaohs or the more ludicrous Roman Emperors has a head of state traveled in such pomp and expensive grandeur as the President of the United States of America.”

Attawaytogo Barry-O; yet another stick in the eye of the US taxpayers.

Oklahoma voters last week voted 70 percent in favor of a state law that prohibits courts from considering international law and Islamic law (Shariah) when deciding cases.

A US district court judge, Vicki LaGrange, then ruled the election result would be suspended until a near future hearing where she will listen to arguments on whether her temporary injunction should become permanent.

Shariah is the basis of Islamic law found in their Koran.  It is the religious/legal doctrine Muslims march to.

I am neither a legal nor Constitutional scholar but I like US law to be just that; law based on the US Constitution and the legislative processes it provides.

Anything that remotely subjects us to the legal meddling of other countries or Muslims is unconscionable including judges of that ilk.
