Have you guys heard the latest? The public employee union that has all IRS employees as members has asked the Obama Administration for an exemption from Obamacare.

Really. The only thing she's lacking in this photo is a broom.

Levin is retiring when his current term ends. But there is no doubt that the Michigan Democrat Party already has a slave lined up to replace him who, like Levin, has already been bought and paid for by the same unions that destroyed the city of Detroit and most of the rest of Michigan's economy.

The irony of this is that the alleged purpose of this hearing is for Senators and Congressmen to investigate ways they can improve the tax code. But instead of asking Apple why they are doing so much business overseas and what it would take to get Apple to bring that money home all these Democrats want to do is excoriate Apple for not engaging in foolish business practices because Apple makes its products in China instead of enslaving itself to domestic unions and going bankrupt like GM.

Even makes Clinton look good by comparison.

Here's the real good news. Lerner said under oath that she did nothing illegal. Now all Congress has to do is show she someting, anything, illegal, even a misdemeanor, and it becomes perjury.

Actually, the right to not incriminate oneself is often waived by defendants who wish to testify in their own defense. Judges routinely warn defendants before they take the stand in their own defense that they will not be able to assert their 5th Amendment rights once they begin to testify on their own behalf. As Mr.s Duane pointes out, the application of this concept is significantly less clear with a witness who has been subpoenaed to provide evidence but is not charged with a crime. As much as think Lerner is shi_tbag I must admit that if it was Scooter Libby or Karl Rove up there being asked to testify before Congress (as opposed to a Grand Jury) about Plamegate I would agree that they could invoke their 5th Amendment rights in reaction to any particular question. What I disagre with about what Lerner did was that she made a general declarative statement of her innocence and then when Congressmen tried to investigate the veracity of her own statements she said she wouldn't answer any more questions. I don't believe a witness should be allowed to invoke the 5th against questions after she has 'opened the door' with her own voluntary testimony, and I don't believe a witness who is not a defendant can invoke the 5th against questions she has even been asked yet.

Liberals have always believed that the Constitution, in its entirety, is to be selectively interpreted and enforced by Democrats and liberals to control the behavior of Republicans and conservatives. They would never word their beliefs that way, but if you examine their own statements about about what are and are not constitutional rights you will come to realize that is what they believe and practice.

Most libs are stupid, and because of that they are manipulated by the ones that are evil.

They are also invested in their hatred of conservatives, and their fear that conservatism will actually work if it's given a chance.
