Fox News Won't Admit that Republicans Voted Against 9/11 Rescue Workers

OIC, so 99.999% of the laws ever passed by congress would then be unconstitutional because they weren't specifically enumarated. By golly Mr. Constitutional Scholar I guess that means we have to go out and get rid of the United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations cause, since they weren't specifically enumerated in the Constitution they would all have to be unconstitutional. Thank you Mr. Constitutional Scholar[/sarcasm]

You're comment is completely irrelevent. Congress legislates laws. Our courts determine their constitutionality. Didn't you take civics in high school?

I believe the number is significantly less that 99.9999%.

So where are the provisions in this bill enumerated under Article I Section 8? :)

I imagine a bunch of liberal butt buddies sitting around 24/7 in a basement watching tapes of FOX News, looking for the slightest hint of anything that get the liberal base into a frenzy.

Their listeners dont care, they love that fox news only reports what they want to hear.

People on the right dont want facts, they want to feel good about the republican party at the expense of EVERYTHING else including the truth and the country.

Yea, it happened...

Here's the vote: 60 votes required

Senate Democrats - 57 yea, 1 nay (Majority Leader Reid switched to a nay vote for procedural reasons).

Senate Republicans - 0 yea, 41 nay

I always had it. I was raised that way. I suggest you find it.

If Democrats had blocked that legislation do you believe Fox's Peter Johnson Jr.'s passionate attack would have been on “Congress” and “the U.S. Senate” for killing health benefits for 9/11 rescue workers or a passionate attack on Democrats?

State? Where did you get that? You tried to ridicule his religious beliefs, and he responded with a comment about his personal faith.

Why do you hate people's personal beliefs? Why do you hate religious freedom?

:rolleyes:

On Fox & Friends this morning, Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. launched into a passionate attack on “Congress” and “the U.S. Senate” for killing health benefits for 9/11 rescue workers. “Last week, Congress told them they could drop dead,” Johnson said, to the mournful chords of September Song. “Shame, embarrassment, outrage, anger—all the proper reactions to the conduct of our senators who…have turned their back on American heroes.” Worse, they’ve been betrayed by the same “politicians who couldn’t take enough pictures with them.” Right on, Peter.

But in his three-and-a-half-minute rant, Johnson didn’t once mention who in Congress could be such heartless hypocrites. The 57-to-42 vote was three short needed to break a filibuster, as every Republican voted against even bringing the bill to a vote, and every Democrat but one voted in favor (Harry Reid had to switch his vote for arcane procedural reasons).

didn't the dems pull this same bullshit last summer?

They do it, too!

:palm:

no, didn't the dems do the same thing last summer, eg, force the pubs to not allow the vote because they stupidly tried to bypass rules or something similar to this and then cried that pubs hate the 9/11 workers

pity your desire to always try and catch me in a gotcha moment and your poor reading comprehension make you stupid :)
 
whats fucked about this is that both parties are using the responders as political pawns...this is almost identical to what they did last summer


King, a Long Island Republican, is furious because he believes the measure would pass easily as a regular bill needing a simple majority - but Democrats fear the GOP might attach toxic provisions if they get the chance.

Instead, Democrats opted to require a two-thirds majority vote for approval - a procedural move that blocks the GOP from attaching potentially toxic amendments to the measure.

"The Democrats are guilty of moral cowardice and a failure of leadership," King told the Daily News Wednesday morning.

"They put this up on the suspension calendar knowing it's not going to get a two-thirds vote," he fumed. "It's really morally disgraceful...They are letting cops and firefighters die because their members don't have the guts to take a vote."
