Well, hopefully Romney is voted in this next election so he can Bench some more fine Justices.
Hmm....The Supreme Court ruled Monday that two Secret Service agents are shielded from a lawsuit filed by a man they arrested after a confrontation with then-Vice President Dick Cheney......
“Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense.” (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100).
I fully support THIS CONSTITUTIONAL EXERCISE!

Filibusters are for bonafide cowards.
All politicians are spineless brownie-hounds.
I want every Representative to stand their spineless, parasitic ass at the podium, and declare their views on the Universal Background Check.
Then, if you don't like what they have to say, peel your American ass up off the couch, and make your mark!
Happy voting!!
The point was that up until the moment that decision was handed down there was not a "bright line" decision that said that the Secret Service guys could not do that without violating some Constitutional right. That's just part of the judicial determination that cops in general, as a species, are too dumb to figure things out on their own and must have each and every possiblity spelled out in minute detail. Kinda, sorta, like dealing with a 3-year old, if you have ever done that.
I may be wrong in how I read the decision, but I do see it as telling the Secret Service that as of now they can no longer do that. The "bright line" has been drawn.
In many ways it's wonderful to know that the justice system considers citizens who are not drawing a paycheck through some government agency are capable of reasonable thought and able to figure out on their own that certain behaviors are inappropriate, but government employees are such dolts that they must be told specifically what is not allowed, and cannot be held responsible until and unless the courts have said it is not allowed.

I never really needed any excuse to stay far, far away from politicians and bureaucrats of all sorts - especially cops. But if I needed a reason...
Having to deal with 3 yr olds using large guns and other stuff would be right up there on top.
But, in the end, I live and therefore I am. I don’t need any other person’s permission to live or defend myself. I don’t need anyone’s vetting of my intentions or sanity, nor approval for the self defense tool I choose or how I carry it.
I don’t NEED to explain myself. I don’t NEED any reasons at all.
Is that sarcasm? If so, you should notice Obama's appointees did just the same as the other Judges; I count abstention in with voting against citizens.Originally Posted by Beretta92FSLady
Don't believe any facts that I say! This is the internet and it is filled with lies and untruth. I invite you to look up for yourself the basic facts that my arguments might be based upon. This way we can have a discussion where logic and hints on where to find information are what is brought to the forum and people look up and verify facts for themselves.
the president is not a "God". he is a man, just like anyone else, and a citizen (hopefully) of this country. what makes vice-president cheney so special? is touching him on the shoulder against the law?
Well, yes, it actually is. Any touch that is not permitted by the person being touched is a battery, and that act is universally criminalized. Attempting to touch a person without their permission is an assault, another criminalized act.
And the Secret Service has a special assignment to try to prevent people from assaulting and/or battering certain government officials just because they are certain government officials. How are they to determine before the fact that someone wants to give a congratulatory slap on the back/shoulder as opposed to sinking a kitchen knife there? Since the Secret Seervice cannot accurately guess which sort of touch it would be, they declare all touching off limits. The government official may over-rule them by agreeing to certain touches, such as handshakes. If so, the Secret Service is going to make darned sure all you look like you are going to do is shake that hand with nothing but air ij your hand.
Now, getting to your question about the specialness of the VP - he is in the line of succession to the Presidency if the President can no longer serve. There are some folks who would see taking out the VP as a positive move towards changing the way Things Are Done and Policies are Made/Followed if certain folks after the VP had a shot at the #1 slot before the #1 slot was made vacant. No tin foil needed to figure that one out.
stay safe.

i actually know all that, but was just making a sarcastic statement. i'm getting at the fact that the elected president is a citizen just like anyone else. i know the VP is second in line..
Sarcasm comes over the internet so well that there is absolutely no reason to use the convention of [sarcasm][/sarcasm]

Obama is the president but the SS is charged with ensuring that the Office of the Presidency/Veep is not compromised. I don't really think it's really about the individual, per se, but about the office and its occupier. Can't let the citizenry think that their top dogs are at risk any more than is absolutely required.
Would the SS put Obama and Biden in a sphere of 12" thick bullet-resistant Lexan®, You bet they would. Do you think the SS would let Moochelle be alone with Barry? Not if they could get away with keeping them separate.

seriously? i mean, can't someone honestly assume that everyone in america knows that the VP is next in line to be POTUS if something were to happen?
really? u think so?
I found the ruling reasonable. Couple of key excerpts to help keep the skimmers from jumping to errant conclusions:
"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that two Secret Service agents are shielded from a lawsuit filed by a man they arrested after a confrontation with then-Vice President Dick Cheney."
"Even so, the appeals court said Howards could sue the agents for violating his rights."
"The agents and the Obama administration asked the court for broad protection against claims of retaliatory arrests. The justices did not grant that wish."
I note with some rather extreme shock: "Justice Elena Kagan did not take part in the case."I also wonder why she abstained here, and refused to abstain from other issues on which she was seriously conflicted/biased.
Going after the guns won't work. We have to go after the crazies.
