Steve;why is your nose so huge,has it impacted with a moving train at some stage or is it natural? Either way it's a truly magnificent specimen, you should pay air tax on those jet engine intake sized nostrils....
The call for questions was only open for two days. Furthermore, it makes sense that Americans would want to ask more questions, since they will be the ones voting.
What is your stance on a national id card? The legality of how NSL's are currently used? Do you believe that the "free speech" zones used in the Bush administration are censoring our freedom to speak?
Chris Dodd's web team is arguably one of the best in either party this race when it comes to taking advantage of new media. How did he put together that web team, how closely involved is he, and where do they come up with their new ideas? I'd like to hear about that process & how it's paid off.
Senator Dodd: Because the immigration issue is so emotionally charged, what would you do specifically to stop all illegal persons from having a drivers' license, and why?
Around this time of the year, presidential candidates promise the nation all kind of legislation. Whereas the job of the president is to simply pass or veto laws, the executive branch currenly also writes laws for up and down votes in Congress. As president, will you restore Congressional powers over the writing of legistation, budget, etc.?
The Democrats are too busy bowing to illegal immigration and outsourcing interest groups as they look to import future voting blocks, and sellout our sovereignty for a profit. Then there are the Republicans who are too beholden to big business globalists to realize that they have lost tract of what is most important to the American people.
Every 4 years we hear the same promises and the same double talk, it's time that we change this cycle of corruption for real..... And realize that we have more choices than just republicans and democrats. They will say anything to get elected, and when they do, they do nothing. And we the American people suffer.... So Chris how are going to be any different. Considering your party has lost its way and who they represent, since the days of Andrew Jackson......
Any program that gives benefits to Illegal aliens or even the same, over Americans citizens is just plain stupid and truly un-American. It's like rewarding law breakers and penalizing Americans citizens. No more double talk or "Hillary" clitonain speak.
You are either for Americans citizens or you not it is that simple. So what is going it to be....
Senator Dodd: you've said many times that now-Chief Justice John Roberts promised he would never overturn precedent.
I don't think he made any such promise, but more importantly, would you WANT a justice who would NEVER overturn precedent? Aren't there many notable precedents you're glad were overturned? Aren't there more you would like to someday be overturned?
Roberts said he believed in Stare decisis, which means "to stand by things decided". In other words he said he wouldn't attempt to overturn precedents.
rizzo, no. Yes, Roberts believes in stare decisis. So did the Supreme Court that overturned precedent in Brown v. Board of Education. Stare decisis is not an unbreakable rule, it is a principle. As Roberts said in his hearings, there are other principles, too, which might cause him to overturn a precedent. To say he promised to never overturn precedent is simply false.
No justice would ever promise to never overturn precedent, and no Senator or President would ever want a justice who would.
Somehow, I don't think I used the word "promise". I also can't find where Dodd said that. Where did Dodd say that Roberts said he would "NEVER overturn precident"?
Dodd said that Roberts made "the statement that they will uphold precedent and they raise[d] their right hand before the Judiciary Committee and ma[d]e that committment, and then violate[d] that commitment," in the Nov 15 CNN debate. But Roberts made no committment. In Dodd's own speech approving of Roberts' nomination, Dodd even said "This is a delicate area, for the obvious reason that some precedents deserve to be overruled." But now he has changed his mind, apparently.
It seems that during the hearings he wanted definite answers about specific things, and whether or not they might be overturned. That Dodd believed that Roberts was promising in specific areas he would not overturn them, but then has. Just a guess though. But you are right, it does sound like Dodd was saying that nothing should be overturned. However, remember that the q. leading to that answer was specifically about abortion rights, and his answer may have been only about that subject.
Dodd did not believe that, because Roberts never said it. On the contrary, Roberts explicitly stated he WOULD NOT SAY he would never overturn a precedent on something that was likely to come before the court, which obviously includes abortion-related cases.
I watched the hearings, but I don't pretend to have them memorized. I do remember Roberts saying he believes in Stare Decisis. In fact I remember him saying it while getting peppered with questions about Roe V. Wade. True, it doesn't mean he's promising anything, but don't you think it leads people on the committee to think that he is saying he wont overturn it?
In the context of Roe v Wade, during his hearings, Roberts responded, "... I think I should stay away from discussions of particular issues that are likely to come before the court again. And in the area of abortion, there are cases on the courts docket, of course. It is an issue that does come before the court. So while I'm happy to talk about stare decisis and the importance of precedent, I don't think I should get into the application of those principles in a particular area."
Roberts stated explicitly he WOULD NOT SAY he wouldn't overturn Roe v. Wade, or any other case that might come up before the court. Anyone listening to what he actually said, in full and in context, could not possibly be lead to think he was saying he wouldn't overturn Roe v. Wade.
If that were true, we wouldn't need judges. Because everyone would know exactly what the law is and there would be no gray areas. Nobody can say that "anyone listening" would come out of it hearing anything.
Roberts was entirely explicit. He absolutely and very clearly refused to say whether or not he would consider overturning Roe v. Wade, or any other abortion-related precedent. There is no sense whatsoever in anyone claiming he promised to not overturn it, nor in saying that people on the committee were lead to think he wouldn't, because he specifically said he wasn't saying that, and he gave no hints or suggestions that he *was* saying that.
Senator Dodd: you've said many times that John Roberts promised he would not overturn precedent. He never did, and on the contrary, he discussed in detail when it WOULD be appropriate to consider overturning a precedent.
Further, NO Senator -- including you -- would ever WANT a justice to make such a promise. Ever hear of Brown v BoE?
My question to you is simple: will you now take back your accusation against Chief Justice Roberts that he ever promised he would never overturn a precedent?
Senator Dodd: what do you think should be done about the fact that candidates like you get less time in the mainstream media and in the debates (including the YouTube debate)?
Should every candidate get the same amount of time in the debates and from the press, even candidates who have literally no chance of winning the nomination (not naming names, but I am not talking about you or any of your *current* *Senate* colleagues)?
will he stop aipac's strangle hold on american politics and treat the palastinians as humans wich will cause the knock on effect of stemming the radicalisation of muslims and normal people who have lost all hope in that area.
Again, his plan is on his website. It is not a socialized healthcare plan. It is a portable insurance plan using the same formula that they use for the Senate and Postal workers. You also don't have to join it, you can stay with your current plan if you wish to.
So in other words, it would be a huge nationwide insurance plan similar to UnitedHealthcare or Aetna, but without a profit margin.
I got a question for YOU Steve: Why did you let CNN censor the questions in the last debate?
The questions asked stayed away from issues like Iran and making every candidate answer a question about their plan for the economy. Plus, if you havn't noticed Ron Pauls deep following on YouTube, and they played an anti-paul question First...
How do you plan to gain back credibility after THAT??
