Zombies And Treason
Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Walking Dead … Voters? Zombies are an "in thing" in today's pop culture, but a recent story from Detroit takes it to another level.
A week ago, a contractor sent by a bank to check out a foreclosed home discovered the mummified body of a woman in the garage. Police believe the woman had been dead since 2008. Neighbors said they hadn't seen her for at least three years. She wasn't close with her family. Apparently no one thought to call the police earlier.
That's depressing enough, but get this: Years after her death, it appears someone voted in her name during the 2010 gubernatorial election. Given the history in Detroit, why do I suspect her ballot didn't go Republican or Libertarian?
Schools and churches are popular polling locations for the living. But perhaps big city Democrats will recommend cemeteries in the near future. If Obama's approval rating keeps falling, they'll need all the votes they can get!
”Treason” At The CIA? The continuing battle between Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and the Central Intelligence Agency has D.C. buzzing. On Tuesday, Feinstein, chairman on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, accused the spy agency of secretly probing the committee’s computers and taking documents related to the CIA’s interrogation methods on suspected terrorists.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa went ballistic yesterday, saying that the CIA’s actions, if they occurred, amount to “treason” because they would be an attack on the separation of powers. Issa said:
“Spying on the executive branch—spying on Congress or violating the separation of powers as to the Supreme Court or as to Congress is effectively treason. Treason—it’s written up in the Constitution. I don’t know who gave the orders, but to spy on other branches is in fact a constitutional violation at the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and certainly should cause the removal of anyone involved.” I admire Issa’s tenacity. But I’d point out that Barack Obama attacks the separation of powers almost daily. All members of Congress should be just as concerned with the president’s taking over of the legislative process from Congress.
