Did 47 Republican senators break the law in plain sight?

IMHO, right wrong or indifferent, these a$$holes just proved how incompetent and divided we are "TO THE WORLD!"
Yea I know the dems did it as well but two wrongs doesn't make a right.
So sad we don't have leadership that can take the high road.
We need a clean sweep of the lot of them, professional life long "politicians"...

We speak of 'right to work' states where the workers are not obligated to pay union dues.
How about a 'right to pay taxes' wherein you are not obligated to pay taxes?
 
Yea, I'll vote for that!

They exist, sort of... Texas and the six other states don't have individual income taxes.

A clean sweep won't change anything.  The dick head that instigated this BS was a freshman Congressman.  
 
I think the only way this changes is for the populace to get educated.  They/we need to think and look beyond tomorrow and our own petty self interests.  May be then we will stop electing the Wrangles, Pelosis, Bachmans and Akin's.

So TX does not have income tax.  We have a sky high property tax.  If I pay 1.5% income tax and 1.5% property tax or 3% property tax what is the difference?

This makes the binding vs non-binding and international law thing clear as mud.

Sounds good....
 

 
A final caveat:  The line between legal and non-legal agreements is not always clear, and one can imagine that there remains some play in the joints on this issue in the current negotiations (which might explain Foreign Minister Zarif’s references to “international obligations”).  Also, an entirely different set of arguments and concerns might come into play if the parties were to sign a non-binding agreement that becomes the basis for a legally binding Security Council Resolution.

What was that old saying...."United we stand, divided we fall".  The GOP is letting the world know that this country is divided with their invitation to Bibi and their letter to Iran.   Maybe next year we can have al qeada members standing in front of a bunch of camels under a "Mission Accomplished" sign. 

 

[signals]

Yeah for some it's all about party lines. They did it not us, we only do good things, etc., seems to be an excuse used by all of mankind as a whole.

United we stand applies to some old mantra to make losers feel good. The true motto is divide and conquer. That is what runs the world and dominates human nature be it political, religious, sporty, etc.

There is always competition, so united is a smokescreen.

I miss the days when United we stand meant something.  It changed though to something like "yer either fer us or agin us".

Yeah, sure has changed since Bush left.

You know what the correct name of this thread should be?-------- "Did Hillary brake the Law-in-plain-sight?"

 

[Dog Wonder]

Hillary signed the letter?

It has already been established that no laws were violated.  The law was changed in 2014 after she left office.  There is no law against poor judgement unfortunately.  Were that the case, DC would be a barren wasteland.

 

[MCI transplant]

Hillary signed the letter?

Did she now? If she so, from what I hear, she is guilty. But Even is she was, do you really feel Holden would go after her? --------I don't think so. But than again, there really isn't any love lost between the Clintons, and the obama's.
