Firenze Sage: Mayor of New York urges police everywhere strike for gun control

Knee jerk reaction to massacre by  NY Mayor:  Bloomberg urges that police everywhere strike until gun control is passed. 

 MAYOR BLOOMBERG:  “Well, I would take it one step further. I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say, we’re going to go on strike. We’re not going to protect you. Unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe.

“And we’re doing everything we can to make their job more difficult but, more importantly, more dangerous, by leaving guns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them, and letting people who have those guns buy things like armor-piercing bullets.”

Firenze Sage: Fast and Furious FUBAR [Attorney General Holder]

FUBAR stands for ….  and that is what Attorney General Holder did concerning Fast and Furious: 

After 18 months of stonewalling, hem-hawing, national headlines and a contempt charge for Attorney General Eric Holder, the U.S. government finally unsealed its grand jury indictment case against those involved with the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry today.

Little new information was revealed, but the Department of Justice (DOJ) provided media with confirmation that Border Patrol agents, using guns that fired bean-bags, not bullets, were used stop a dangerous, well-armed rip crew outfitted with U.S. Operation “Fast and Furious” AK-47s.

This is why Holder is being held in contempt. He stonewalls the search for why this fiasco was allowed and who is responsible

Firenze Sage: Fairy Dust Law [foie gras law in CA]

foie gras sold on federal land gets around CA law?

 

Love foie gras?

Made illegal by CA law, one restaurant in San Francisco  located on federal law questions legality of state law.

Experts can’t agree on whether a restaurant located on federal land in California can legally subvert a new state law banning the sale of foie gras.

Evan Lee, a professor at UC Hastings College of Law who specializes in constitutional and criminal law, said there is nothing simple about federal exemption in the case of foie gras.
“So far, there is nothing I can find that makes it explicit,” he said.
“There’s no doubt there is something magical about being on federal land. But you still need Congress to sprinkle its fairy dust.

Firenze Sage: Saudi female track star [must comply with sharia law]

 

Sarah Attar track star must comply with sharia law

Muslim Spring  turns  to   winter for women’s rights in Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia agreed Thursday to send two women to compete in the 2012 Olympic games. With strings attached. 

The move by the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom comes after Saudi sports leaders declared that the women of Saudi sports must respect the kingdom’s rules.

Female competitors must dress modestly, be accompanied by a male guardian and not mix with men, Prince Nawaf bin Faisal told the paper Al-Jazirah.

They must also wear “suitable clothing that complies with sharia” (Islamic law), he said.

The two female Saudi athletes are Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani in judo and 800-meter runner Sarah Attar.

Aptos Psychologist: Texas Voter ID law wrongly named a ‘poll tax’

To enter the NAACP meeting,    Eric Holder had to provide a  photo ID.  When speaking, the  AG Holder said that the  Texas Voter ID law  is racially motivated to keep blacks and the poor  from voting.

Clearly, Attorney General Holder intends to throw the weight of the Justice Department against the enforcement of Voter ID laws which exist in 30 states.

Does Eric Holder have major  memory problems or is Obama’s AG  just playing the race card? Or doing Obama’s biding?   Probably the later two.

Talking yesterday  to the NAACP ,  U.S. Attorney General  Holder   said that  the Voter ID law in Texas is   akin to a ‘poll tax’  That argument ‘ was dismissed  by the United State Supreme Court in 2009  and  ID laws  deemed legal.

Poll taxes have been illegal for 45+ years after passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. As recently as 2009 the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the government argument that voter ID laws are a poll tax.

In Texas a variety of identifications are acceptable [hunting license, military ID card, driver’s license, U.S. passport].   Texas will provide a free ID card when requested.

Describing Texas voter ID law as a poll tax, Obama’s Attorney General says “many without ID would have to travel great  distances and some would struggle to pay for the documents” [Wall Street Journal, 7-11-2012]

Maybe it’s time that people tell Eric Holder to stop playing the race card? And  that it’s time for the Obama AG to uphold the rule of law?

How to contact AG Holder:  202 514 2000  AskDOJ@usdoj.gov

Full Wall Street Journal article available online edition for July 11, 2012.

William B. Turner with the Examiner  wrongly says “no state gives ID cards away for free” .  States which provide free voter ID cards include: Arizona, Indiana and Texas.   Turner   uses the argument that getting a birth certificate costs money and therefore blacks and poor cannot vote.  See Turner’s  article:

http://www.examiner.com/article/attorney-general-holder-calls-voter-id-law-a-poll-tax

Thirty U.S.  states require either photo or some form of identification in order to vote.  President Bush signed the Help America Vote law which requires first time voters in federal elections to show photo or non-photo ID .  See  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws#Through_2010

Aptos Psychologist: killers of Terry are immigrants without papers?

5 men killed Brian Terry with Fast & Furious guns. Their legal status?

Names matter. What are we to call the 5 men accused of killing border partrol man Brian Terry Dec. 14, 2010? Are they immigrants without documentation? Immigrants seeking a Dream? Illegal aliens? Fugatives from justice?

What is their legal status?

The 5 men entered the United States with a plan to “arm themselves with fire arms”

Now we know their names: Jesus Rosaro, Favela-Astorga, Ivan Soto-Varraza, Heraclo Osario-Meza and Manuel Osorio-Arellanes who is in custody. There is a $1 MILLION reward for any information that leads to their capture.

Have you noticed how language has evolved to describe persons who illegally enter from Mexico? Illegal aliens became ‘immigrants without documentation’ and lately simply ‘immigrants not by choice’ when referring to those covered by the Dream Act. The language we use to describe persons entering without permission has ‘evolved’ similar to how President Obama attitude towards gay marriage ‘evolved’.

Some things we don’t know: Why leave guns at the scene of the crime? Why no way to trace the guns? Who in the Justice Department was in charge of Fast and Furious? When did Eric Holder first know about Fast and Furious? Why does it take 18 months to get an indictment out of Holder’s Justice Department. Is that because of Holder?

So what do you think we should call these men who shot and killed a border patrol person?

Aptos Psychologist: Obama ‘Opps what rule of law?’

In America the Law is key …

The Obama Moto:  Why  follow the rule of law when you can skirt it, ignore it or just plain  forget it! 

_______________

The following exerpt is from Dr. Clark Jensen titled Rule of Law.  drclarkjensen.com

“Let’s list some of the ways the Obama administration has ignored the rule of law in the past three plus years:

  • They have ignored the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and have refused to enforce that law.
  • They have refused to enforce our immigration law and recently Obama stated that he would not deport illegals in a certain age category as long as they had no criminal record.
  • The Obama administration has sued and threatened to sue the state of Arizona for their attempts to abide by our federal law in regards to illegal immigrants.
  • Through the NLRB the Obama administration has almost forced unions into right to work states.
  • Obama stopped the Keystone XL pipeline from going through.
  • The EPA has imposed such stringent regulations upon coal power, that many coal powered electrical plants are shutting down.  He has almost made it impossible to build new coal powered electrical plants because of those same regulations.
  • The Obama administration, with Eric Holder as the point man,is suing the state of Florida for attempting to stop voter fraud in the state.
  • They have also imposed restrictions on on shore and off shore drilling for oil and gas.

I am sure there are many other ways the Obama administration has skirted the rule of law. 

“My list is only the tip of the iceburg.  What we all need to understand is that the Obama approach is moving us backwards as a nation towards the time when people were governed not by laws but by men.  I don’t trust Obama nor do I trust any other man to by my king.  You shouldn’t either.

The rule of law is much better than the rule of men!”   written by Dr. Clark Jensen

Let us replace the 2500+ pages of Obama-Care with just a few pithy ones.

People seem to relish children insured to 26 so keep it.

Preexisting illness insurance(even though it isn’t insurance) is popular so keep it. It already exists in most employer policies.

Ban policies which require one to buy unneeded benefits such as transgender operations,male pregnancy etc.

Allow sales across state lines.

Cap tort claims. [law suits for malpractice]

Sit back,relax,see how this works and add or amend if necessary later.

Firenze Sage: Frogs praise Allah! [Egypt’s first fatwa after Muslim Brotherhood’s victory]

Fatwa against eating frogs including the northern leopard frog

Muslim Brotherhood’s Muhammad Morsi just won the presidency in Egypt.

The first legal action taken, the  very first fatwa to appear by Egypt’s highest fatwa council,  addresses—not social, political, or economic issues in Egypt—but rather frogs.

Specifically, the fatwa  bans Muslims from hunting and killing frogs to sell to those nations that dine on the amphibians.
As the fatwa explains, according to Islam’s prophet Muhammad as recorded in a hadith, a frog’s “croaking is praise [to Allah].”
Accordingly, “a number of jurists [fuqaha] have relied on this [hadith] to forbid the eating of frogs, under the notion that ‘that which is banned from being killed, is forbidden from being eaten.’”
