Re: Trump, Schumer agree to pursue plan eliminating debt cei
Reality is the debt ceiling has become meaningless. It is used for political theater but is automatically extended. It serves no purpose so why have it. That's way too sensible. It's just that some,people want three shots at the target. First they authorize a program in substantive legislation, wit...

He tweets no action will be taken against them during the 6 month extension. He's already said he'll revisit the situation if Congress doesn't act.

Ryan is an ineffective leader that needs to be replaced. He can't get anything done so he was bypassed.The debt ceiling was going to get raised one way or another.

Re: Huckabee schools Stephanopoulos on SC and civics
What law? The government is granted powers and rights. There has to be a law saying Davis can issue marriage licenses to gays. There isn't one right now. The flow of control is flipped from what you're thinking. The government is by default limited in what it can do. There has to be a law enabling ...

Re: Chutzpah, theClinton says officials should obey the law.
Marriage licenses have, and always will, be under the purview of the states. The exception to this (and to all state laws) is that if there is a law that violates the Constitution, it is not valid. As of June xx, 2015, the KY marriage amendment concerning SSM, became invalid. Then, the KY governor ...

Will was right. Places like this can affect how Hokies view each other as people and as fellow sports fans, and shouldn't have been part of a gathering place for Hokie 'brothers in arms.'

I know I'm talking to a brick wall on this, but the Pope's call for peace and an end to slaughter is perfectly on target. What should he do -- call for revenge killing of Muslims?
