Quotes of the day

A proposal to give federal judges a direct role in the nation’s drone campaign gained new momentum this week with a signal from senior lawmakers that they intend to consider creating a special court to oversee the selection of targets for lethal strikes.
But the idea, cited by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), among others, as a way to impose new accountability on the drone program, faces significant legal and logistical hurdles, according to U.S. officials and legal experts.
Among the main obstacles is almost certain opposition from the executive branch to a dilution of the president’s authority to protect the country against looming threats. Others include the difficulty of putting judges in position to approve the killing of individuals — possibly including American citizens — even if they have not been convicted of a crime.
“Having the executive be the prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner is very contrary to laws and traditions of this country,” King told Brennan. King suggested that the court would involve a “FISA-type process,” referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the secret court that considers requests for surveillance against people who are suspected of working for foreign governments. “At least that would be some check on the activities of the executive.” The days, weeks, and months-long process of determining whether someone can be targeted, King suggested, meant that targeted killing was not like soldiers shooting each other on a traditional battlefield and should be subjected to some form of judicial accountability.
Brennan was negative to non-committal, telling King that although the idea was “worthy of discussion,” that courts were traditionally used for adjudicating guilt or innocence, not to prevent the sort of “imminent” threat Brennan claims lethal force is reserved for. A recently leaked Department of Justice memo on targeted killing, however, defines “imminence” as membership in a terrorist organization, not necessarily involvement in an unfolding plot that threatens American lives. Nor are courts used solely to adjudicate guilt—King noted that judges also approve warrants.
Some judges want absolutely nothing to do with this. Not that this is dispositive. But I was struck by what recently-retired District Judge John Robertson (D.D.C.) had to say when this came up at an ABA panel we were on a few months ago (the audio is here, and the statement came toward the very end if I recall correctly). Though very much a judge associated with the view that the judiciary plays a critical role in checking the executive in national security-related litigation (the topic of our panel), he made very clear his hostility to the idea of judicial involvement in death warrants. (And that’s without considering the possibility of warrant-issuing judges finding themselves the object of suit or prosecution abroad.) Of course, other judges could feel differently. But at any rate, the anecdote contributes to my next point…
A core benefit to judicial review, presumably, is that judges might detect and reject weak evidentiary arguments for targeting particular persons. I wouldn’t bet on that occurring often, however. Judges famously tend to defer to the executive branch when it comes to factual judgments on matters of military or national-security significance. I’ve argued that they should not always do so, but that doesn’t mean they won’t. Especially when the stakes are as high as they will be represented to be in such cases.
Machiavelli tells us that men are venal self-deceivers, but then he gives his Prince permission to do all these monstrous things, trusting him not to get carried away or turn into a monster himself.
Our founders were more careful. Our founders understood that leaders are as venal and untrustworthy as anybody else. They abhorred concentrated power, and they set up checks and balances to disperse it.
Our drone policy should take account of our founders’ superior realism. Drone strikes are so easy, hidden and abstract. There should be some independent judicial panel to review the kill lists. There should be an independent panel of former military and intelligence officers issuing reports on the program’s efficacy.
If you take Machiavelli’s tough-minded view of human nature, you have to be brutal to your enemies — but you also have to set up skeptical checks on the people you empower to destroy them.
It should be clear by now that President Obama and his terrorism advises are hypocrites. When they campaigned for office, they claimed that the Bush Administration had violated the Constitution and trampled individual rights in its quest to stop terrorist attacks. Now we have an administration that keeps Guantanamo Bay open, keeps military commissions running, continues terrorist surveillance, and regularly drops drone missiles. But I’m glad they are hypocrites, because they chose to keep the policies that have kept us safe these 11 years instead of sticking to their misguided principles. If the Obama folks ever had the good graces to thank President Bush, I am sure he would say “[you're] welcome.”
“This controversy is not going away,” Schultz, a critic of the administration’s drone program, said. “The boundaries of transparency are still undefined.”
Yet in a survey of his (reliably liberal) viewers, 78 percent said they agreed with “the policy of targeted killing of American citizens.”
“I voted for President Obama because I trust his values and his judgment, and I believe that he is a fundamentally responsible actor,” she added. “Without gratuitously slamming ex-President Bush, I think he displayed extraordinary lapses in judgment in executing his primary responsibility as commander-in-chief, and put troops in harm’s way imprudently.”
“President Obama would have exercised better judgment and he has exercised better judgment,” Ball said. “What would George W. Bush do? That’s our standard? We would never allow a power to the presidency that we wouldn’t feel comfortable giving to George W. Bush?”…
“Do you feel the same about George W. Bush having the nuclear codes as you do about President Obama?” Ball asked in conclusion. “Call me a hypocrite, but I sure don’t.”

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I used to like a waitress named Mickey in the early ’90s, who looked like Belinda but was better looking (she knew it, too, and really knew how to use her appeal – guys went gaga over her!)
Of course, everytime I saw her I’d start singing “Mickey” to her! She loved that, and me…however, I ended up sexually frustrating her because I wasn’t physically aggressive/expressive enough for her (I had a good excuse for that – although she was unhappily dating one of my best friends, I was hesitant to act because I’m a true gentleman… :))

” ‘IT’S SCARY’: Records show IRS officials independently targeted conservative training materials…
“To say that these were are a couple of rogue IRS agents, there’s just no way,” Nonaka said. “They obviously had to have done research into the state of Hawaii.”
BELOW – Four of the IRS’ questions for the Hawaii Tea Party. (Read the full request here)
4. You will sell merchandise. Provide a list of all merchandise you will sell, the cost and the sale price.
5. Provide details regarding your relationship with the Leadership Institute. Provide copies of their training material.
6. Provide details regarding your relationship with Dylan Nonaka. Provide copies of training material used by Dylan Nonaka.
7. Provide details of all other training you have received. Provide copies of the training material.
The Hawaii Tea Party, based in Maui, was audited in 2011. But despite the IRS’ inquiries, Nonaka said he had only limited interaction with the group.
“I think I did one training with [the Hawaii Tea Party] through the Leadership Institute, when the Leadership Institute came to Hawaii,” Nonaka told The DC.”I was never a member of the Hawaii Tea Party. I was never involved with them.”
Meanwhile, also in 2011, the Leadership Institute was under the IRS’ microscope.
“Our audit began June 1, 2011,” Leadership Institute spokeswoman Abigail Alger told TheDC. “We were asked for additional documentation in February 2012″ — just 19 days after the Hawaii Tea Party was asked for additional information.
“The Baltimore office asked for copies of our training material,” Alger said. “The questions ranged from turning over the content of our 2008 training materials, to giving them all the information on our 2008 interns. These were just college kids, but they asked who our 2008 interns went on to work for.”
“In May, the IRS had an internal workshop. Our audit was closed July of that year, with no evidence of wrongdoing,” Alger said. “By that point, we had spent $50,000 in legal fees.”
The Hawaii Tea Party was also cleared of wrongdoing by the Cincinnati office.

The same sort of laser-like focus on jobs: he destroyed them and the economy has been on the brink of collapse with all the additional federal spending and regulations, plus the size and intrusiveness of it.
He wants to do the SAME THING to the middle class.

“Second, looking much further back than I did, our reader says that since 1960, the 2004 election is the ONLY time that Hispanics MIGHT have voted 40% for the GOP.
Third, he presents this distressing news:
Pew Hispanic Center published a remarkable – and completely unreported – research study in 2012. Pew’s conclusion? First generation Hispanics vote 80% for the Democrat Party. Fourth(!) generation Hispanics vote 60% for the Democrat Party.
Unskilled and low-skilled immigrants are, and always have been, natural constituents of the Democrats. And their more highly skilled, and even affluent, descendants tend to remain Democrats. Heck, fourth generation Jewish Americans vote even more heavily for Democrats than fourth generation Hispanics.
Republicans are deluding themselves when they attribute Hispanic voting patterns to the issue of immigration — the numbers don’t support that argument. They are also deluding themselves when they claim that the Hispanic population that has voted so overwhelmingly Democratic for decades can be won over in the foreseeable future by a Republican Party that favors limited government…”

Agreed AJ and excellent, appalling link workingclass.
Could the reasonable person presume Romney would have gotten a 2% swing if Americans would have been informed in a timely fashion of the IRS and Benghazi details–details known then that we are just discovering now? Clearly, if the AP story would have broke, they would have blown up the 2012 election. Mind-boggling what could have been.

Martin Luther King, Jr. “The War Against Christianity: Obama’s IRS” My take.

Well…This is unexpected….
” Eliana Johnson points out that the director of the Office of Rulings and Agreements, which oversees the determination of tax-exempt organizations, is a donor to Barack Obama. Holly Paz donated $2,000 to Obama’s 2008 campaign, according to Open Secrets, which maintains a database of individual political donations.
Liberal Democrats comprise the vast majority of federal bureaucrats. For example, in the past two presidential races, roughly 85 percent of the money contributed to a candidate by IRS employees went to Barack Obama.
This is consistent with what I observe here in the Washington, D.C. area. I estimate the percentage of bureaucrats to be at least 85. And most federal bureaucrats I know hate conservatives as a class (but not me, I hope).
That’s one reason why, as I wrote the other day, conservatives should never support legislation that empowers the federal government to promote liberalism. Any constraints written into such legislation are likely to be ignored by the bureaucrats who administer the law.
And conservatives should begin adhering to this rule by rejecting the Schumer-Rubio immigration bill…”

Congress (Talking to you Mr. Ryan) needs to setup related sub-committee hearings where these targeted individuals testify pronto…imho

(Oh…I know…Maybe a rogue low level WH employee)
“Top Republican Rep. Dave Camp, the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, suggested IRS targeting scandal involves officials outside the IRS….
video at link
” Last week, Lois Lerner, head of the tax exempt division of the Internal Revenue Service dropped a bombshell: The IRS had been applying extra scrutiny to conservative groups claiming tax exempt status.
The revelation came seemingly out of the blue, in response to a question during a panel at an American Bar Association conference, leaving the audience baffled, according to reports.
As it turns out, it was not a spontaneous revelation. The question, said outgoing IRS Commissioner Steven Miller in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee Friday, was planted, as part of a prepared strategy for the IRS to release this information to the public.
Under questioning from Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, Miller said it was a “prepared Q and A,” and the question, which came from tax lawyer Celia Roady had been discussed in advance as well.
Roady told U.S. News and World Report later Friday afternoon that Lerner had personally contacted her and requested she ask the specific question. Roady said she did not know at the time what Lerner’s answer would be.*
Later, Miller, questioned by Rep. Peter Roskam, explained that the disclosure had been made to coincide with the conclusion of the inspector general’s report…”

We reject the bill, but that doesn’t much matter to Congress. If they want it, they’re going to have it. Obama wants it, too, so we have no real recourse long as this crap thing is passed under the law that is the Constitution.
More-Conservative Republicans aren’t just fighting the Democrats. Their own Party opposes them, almost to the point they’re a third political party.
The IRS did an excellent job of stifling the formation of TEA groups, and I find it more infuriating that Senators like Schumer pressed the agency to do it. It’s an insult to our parents who fought WWII, and it’s an insult to my generation who served (I’m pushing 55), and it’s an insult to our children who serve now.
This is not the United States into which I was born.

I’m sure this has been brought up, but if not, in addition to the scrutiny and delay conservative groups had in attempting to gain tax exempt status and the unethical and probably illegal selection of conservatives for audits, all of them incurred additional expenses, sometimes in the tens of thousands of $$$, in documenting their application or defending their tax return. These were hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars that were diverted from promoting conservative ideas. Don’t think for a minute that some enterprising, liberal IRS agent(s) didn’t think: “let’s audit these conservatives and teach them a lesson, all the while making them spend $$$ that they could be using to oppose ‘The Anointed One’.”

“Issa Issues Subpoena To Amb. Thomas Pickering, Co-Chair Of ARB, To Be Questioned About Findings On Benghazi…
He better have a darn good explanation for why they didn’t talk to either Clinton, Greg Hicks or some of the other important people on the case. He previously said he didn’t interview Clinton because “we knew where responsibility lay”. Huh? – Nickarama
via cbs…
The chairman of the House Oversight committee has issued a subpoena to compel the co-chairman of the independent review board that investigated last year’s attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, to answer questions about its findings in closed session.
California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa issued the subpoena on Friday to retired veteran diplomat Thomas Pickering to force him to appear at a deposition next Thursday.
Pickering has offered to testify before Issa’s committee in public, but Issa said a closed-door meeting is needed first.
Issa is one of several GOP lawmakers who have suggested the Obama administration is trying to cover up the circumstances and aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the Benghazi outpost that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans…”

At the DC link I posted above one group spent $50,000 in legal fees in their wrangle with the
KGBIRS.But Wait…There’s More!
The
KGBIRS also requested back-end access to conservative websites.“IT GETS WORSE!
The Obama IRS demanded that several Tea Party groups provide back-end access to their websites.
And, from reliable sources: This happened to several Tea Party groups!
The source has this in writing. It states they wanted access to everything the members had access to, which would be chats, email, contact information, etc. The group raised less than $600. She was targeted as early as October 2010.
Central Texas 912 President, Maria Acosta joined Kristina Ribali from FreedomWorks to discuss being singled out by the Feds.
The IRS asked for back-end access to the group’s website.
And this is a tax question?…
UPDATE: The IRS also demanded the Richmond Tea Party in Virginia to provide access to the back-end of their website.
Question 5A: screenshot & pdf at link
5. Provide the following information for your web and internet related activities

(Ted Cruz and John Cornyn wrote Xcellent amendments to the Bogus Immigration Bill btw…Cruz has them at his site)
Volcanoes continue to smolder…

I’ll cut Jazz some slack. He got assigned to write an article on the dreadful Terry McAuliffe. There’s no means or method to make that dull Clintonite anything but boring and a thankless no-hits wonder.

This is nothing new for dear leader. He gives a speech to issue a veiled warning just in case there are whistle blowers lurking in the tall weeds. It had been reported that there were some more Benghazi witnesses coming forward, he gave a speech with a veiled warning about bringing people to justice and losing jobs and apparently those witnesses disappeared.

I love their version of this and – yeah 1987 counts as “late 80s to early 90s”……anything after ’85 is “late eighties”, technically and even though they disbanded in 1987 (actually late December of 1987, so it was practically 1988) – underground and non-profit radio stations continued to play their music regularly for a good five years. Not to mention the subsequent efforts of the individual band members after the group disbanded. I remember hearing them a lot on WXRT in Chicago in ’91 and ’92…..it was like they never went away….So – even though they disbanded in late “87 – their “Radio Life” went on for a good five years after that…..
