NEW YORK TIMES splashes headline: Obama Pursuing Climate Accord in Lieu of Treaty

The NEW YORK TIMES correctly points out this:

But under the Constitution, a president may enter into a legally binding treaty only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.

And it then goes on to say how President Obama will get around that pesky rule:

To sidestep that requirement, President Obama’s climate negotiators are devising what they call a “politically binding” deal that would “name and shame” countries into cutting their emissions

Committing Miriam Carey

Back in October 2013, when Washington DC was at a standstill with false rumors of an active shooter, Miriam Carey was in a car being chased by police. Eventually police killed Carey while her child was in the back seat. 

She made a wrong turn.
And was shot dead.

Congress applauded.

There were unanswered questions then and even COAL SPEAKER was shocked that so little attention was given to the death of Carey after she was killed.. In December I called her death the most under reported and BADLY reported story of 2013..

Today we learn this: Though people were told that she was a lunatic on drugs when she was killed, there were no drugs in her system. Most appalling, though: She was shot in the back of the head.

That’s right.. the back of the head..

There is video of the event, showing cops firing several rounds in Carey’s body..

But that fatal wound? The back of the head..

And Congress applauded.

C-SPAN REPORTING THAT OUR LEGISLATORS CAN LIVE-TWEET FROM THE FLOOR DURING THE SOTU

Seriously.. Cameras (CBS pool this year) can be on the floor during the State of the Union.. But also, according to C-Span’s coverage of the pre-SOTU, smart phones can be on the floor this year, too, which means our Senators and Congresspersons can tweet—if they of couse know what tweeting is, or how to use their phones.
