THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY!

THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY!

(FRAZER CHRONICLE)

(All the News That Nobody Else Will Print)

 

I’ve never fully understood exactly what the above term means, The Laws Of Our Country, what does that simple phrase mean, do other countries not have laws, are we the leaders in making laws, are other countries lawless? You see, to understand exactly what that little group of words means can be a tough nut to crack.

 

We now have speaker of the house John Boehner, and Senator Ron Johnson in a challenging mode, filing lawsuits to question whether President Obama is following the rules of his office the way that he is supposed to. Speaker Boehner and Senator Johnson have both taken their disagreement with the president to the next level…..”as it were,” and through the courts are hoping to put the president on the rack!

 

There complaints seem to be two fold, yet amount to the same thing, for Boehner his contention is that Obama is not adhering to his sworn oath of office…..that is to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Members of Congress swore to the oath, members of the Senate also swear, as do all sorts of elected officials, locally, regionally, and at the state(s) levels…..there seems to be all sorts of solemnly swearing going on all over our country.

 

These elected officials, almost no matter the level, and importance of their position are expected to swear their allegiance to all sorts of higher authority, whatever that authority might be. Judges on every level are usually required to swear oaths, and to uphold their integrity of the office that they occupy.

 

What with all the solemnizes, oath taking, and promises that are pledged to safeguard higher thinking, being incorruptible…..and always doing whatever is best for the greater majority, I’m wondering how in hell any wrongdoing can take place. I mean these people do serve the public…..RIGHT. it’s one of the first things that is mentioned whenever you get one of these old crow-baits (somebody that’s been in an elected position for decades), how they’ve dedicated their lives to PUBLIC SERVICE.

 

The essence of Boehner’s impending suit will be the fact that President Obama’s use of executive action is criminal, and that he (Obama) is circumventing the American people and their elected representatives through that executive action use. And in the process, changing as well as creating new laws…..in fact creating his own laws.

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON THE BOEHNER’S LEGAL EAGLESE

What Speaker John Boehner will be attempting will be to legally reign in Mr. Obama, by compelling him to follow the letter of the law as prescribed in his oath of office, to faithfully execute the laws of our country. According to Boehner, and some of his colleagues, this unusual action is necessary because the president continually circumvents Congress, creating his own laws, and excusing himself from others.

 

What Boehner and his minion will attempt to do to the president is to cut off presidential shenanigans when Congress is in recess, deadlocked or in a complete disagreement with the executive office of the president. Executive orders, executive action…..presidential memorandum, and I assume time-outs, sitting in the corner for an hour, to bed with no supper, and television privileges suspended would also be included in what Boehner wants to take away from Mr. Obama.

 

AND THEN THERE WAS A WISCONSIN JOHNSON

United States Senator Ron Johnson, (R-Wis.) “man I love to do that” has announced a lawsuit to bar members of Congress and their employees from getting any employer-sponsored health insurance, saying it’s not fair that the Obama administration is making him decide which staffers can keep federal contributions to their plans.

 

Before Obama-Care took effect, lawmakers and staff got their health care coverage from the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. However as of January 1^st these people must get their coverage from the new health care exchanges.

 

In one article that I read from the Huffington Post, there was a reference to Senator Johnson as that “wealthy Wisconsin Businessman,” had declined to use the health care coverage from the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. Johnson sited the fact that Americans expect their elected officials to use the same benefits, coverage, and health care services as are available to them.

 

That is all fine and dandy; however everybody with an ounce of brain knows that, that isn’t the way that the Federal Government operates. A key here would be what the Huffington Post used to describe Mr. Johnson…..”A wealthy Wisconsin businessman,” he, Johnson, can afford to piddle around with insurances, he’s got money and he isn’t the average Joe on the street.

 

I’m sure that some of Johnson’s staffers cringed when their boss started talking about the Affordable Care Act, and how he was going to mess around with the workings of what they hope will be the final solution to a huge problem across the entirety of the United States. Johnson wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act…..post haste…..if not sooner.

 

I’m always leery whenever I see, read, or hear rich people talking about governmental programs that seemingly will help those less fortunate obtain a modicum of services that those affluent folks simply use, take for granted and pay full price for…..because they can afford it.

 

We are a country of laws, of that there is no doubt, however whenever laws come into conflict with the laws of human kindness, or right and wrong, of being able to take full advantage of benefits that are out there, it is criminal to not allow everybody from access.

 

As long as the United States of America has a foreign policy that distributes billions of dollars to help those less fortunate, to give aid to the needy…..and to grease the skids…..we each should expect, and demand everybody here in the United States is afforded good quality services through the tax dollars that we pay.

 

Oh yea, let’s put things into proper perspective…..President Obama has used executive orders/action 144 different times during his term and a half 144 times, George W. Bush used his presidential powers 291 times, Bill Clinton 364 times, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt a whopping 3,522 different times.

 

Now…..put that in your pope and smike it!

 

HAVE A NICE DAY!
