Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

Hey @Bill Martin, can I pick your legal brain?

Does anything in the election of a Senator constitute a written or unwritten but understood contract between a Senator and his constiuents?

I ask because one of my Senators happens to be boycotting his duties in the Finance Committee, and I want to see if I have any legal options as a constituent.

Yes, I am serious, and no I'm not kidding. If I don't go to work, I get fired. They are responsible to the taxpayers so do your f-ing job. Maybe I could make it a class action suit.....

Although I never specialized in Constitutional Law this one is pretty easy - in a word NO. They take a vow to uphold the Constitution same as the military. Seems like they should be held to a higher standard but sadly no.

Yeah, I figured that's what you were going to say. Looked at the oath to see if there was an easy connection, just wondering if there were any legal workarounds. I'm a little cranky.

Good job President Trump on Supreme Court Justice nominee Neal Gorsuch. I have followed his work for the last 20 years and he is a conservative who is honest and has integrity beyond reproach. IMO what I been sayin from WAY back - this is what this election was all about!!

It's a good thing Trump got his nomination in before the 36 month "lame duck" deadline. Though with the partisan direction Washington has been going, Trump may be a "lame duck" 30 months in.

I wish the Democrats wouldn't be as petty as the Republicans were during Obama's presidency. Mitch McConnell: "We need to vote No on everything. We will make him a do nothing President. We will not allow a Democrat to pick a Supreme Court Justice". They need to do their jobs. When each side is seeking revenge(blocking any progress) rather than doing their jobs, we all suffer.

I know @Orangeman . I said "both sides" do it. They both seek revenge and justify it with "they did it". Am I suppose to list every single example through history? They BOTH suck, BOTH are failing at their jobs, BOTH are petty......

BOTH: 1.

I don't understand the Democrats. They raised over $1.1 Billion to try and get Hilary elected. If they would have chosen any other candidate who was not far left, they would have cleaned up. They picked their candidate and spent a lot of money.
Now post election, they continue to throw money away. If Soros really cared about what the Womens March was about he would have used the $90 million to privately fund women's health programs.
I have a problem seeing the money thrown away that could be used to further their cause. It is amazing that since the election the Clinton Foundation intake has dried up. If it was truly there for what they preached (not to buy influence) the money would have kept comming in.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Don't cry Dems, you paid for what you received.

Not a fan of Bill Maher but even a liberal accidentally says sumthin smart sumtime

Sadly I went that route, but realized my vote would count for nothing because not enough people would do it.

Thankfully the Trump is working on a solution which will alleviate the need for costly and corrupt elections moving forward!

Nice Call(NOT), Thanks for the Win.

I'm sorry you can't and probably never understand me. It's not as hard as you think. I am a man that says what I mean, and mean what I say.
