Fair – What goes around comes around.
Just confirms that "most" liberals are just plain miserable folks on the inside.
And tom, your strained interpretation of the recess appointment case shows you haven't read it. The SCOTUS drew from historical precedent to fashion new bright-line rules that cleared up an ambiguity that still existed and then determined that Obama's recess appointment fell outside the new, clearer rules. trying to paint is as a deliberate, knowing, despotic overreach and scoffing at the Constitution is a mischaracterization. He did what others have done in a situation where there was no clear rule and only after fashioning of that rule was it found to exceed POTUS authority. Moreover, as much as the GOP/Teatrolls want to gloat, the decision also introduced a beautiful new caveat to the Senate being write its own rules to hold pro forma sessions willy-nilly as a means of rewriting the Constitution to not include a Recess Appointment Clause. They have to be able to conduct business during the pro forma session and if they can't, then it will be considered a sham and will trigger the recess appointment power. The fact is, this is where it's heading: The Senate cannot be imbued with the power to write its own rules in such a manner as to be able to write the Recess Appointment Clause out of the Constitution. It's there. It exists. And that can mean only one thing: the founding fathers intended the Senate to be subject to it, which means the Senate's power to avoid it must be limited in some fashion.
condolences to the family. It was not the presidents fault though

Comments on this board just proves that Sniffit was incorrect that only repubs make nasty and disgusting comments. Wow, pretty shameful. Dude killed himself and the left here (except Sniffit) are dancing on his grave.

Nope... I got nothing nice to say about the man. So I said nothing about him at all. Your fellow liberals would do well by themselves to do likewise.

Freedom of choice is what this country was founded on. Sometimes you make good choices sometimes you make bad choices like abortion and suicide, but at least you have a choice, too bad Mayfield made a bad one in one way, but a good one for the U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.

By all means JS- tell us of the wonders of this man and his dirty tricks- abusing the elderly. You're obviously down with that too, right? Do you think this man is deserving of praise?
"Your fellow liberals would do well by themselves to do likewise."
Gotta agree there. Dude's wife was home in the house when he took his own life with a large caliber revolver in the garage, and she's the one who had to call the police about it. Let it be, guys...geesh.
The Tea Party and other extremists are destroying the GOP, and
permanently stripping it of any credibility in the minds of thinking
people. In 10 years time, provided they don't get us all killed, we'll
be wondering how anyone could ever buy such a bill of spoiled goods.
"Comments on this board just proves that Sniffit was incorrect that only repubs make nasty and disgusting comments.
I have, quite literally, (a) never said any such thing EVER and (b) consistently corrected my fellow liberals when they do it. And yeah, now is one of those times. Cut it out guys.

Clearly you don't recall the interaction with you and Wake Up! where she made a comment about "if you don't have anything nice to say" and then said something along the lines that only repubs do it. I wish I could find it but it was 2 weeks ago...
