Hosanna-Tabor, for one.
This post is brilliant!
The OP not so much.
From the “How do I get my toddler to eat veggies?” thread, more unintentional irony:
The Tampa Bay Times is a nationally-respected newspaper owned by a prestigious journalism school, with a huge trophy case of Pulitzers. More to the point, there is nothing about the Times to discredit PolitiFact, which is what you appear to be attempting.
This? It does not appear to touch at all on any question of presidential overreach.
How is that a repudiation of Obama? The EEOC is not Obama.
For the benefit of readers, Hosanna-Tabor involved one Cheryl Perich, a teacher employed by the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School. Perich was fired was missing a large number of days of work due to, according to her, her narcolepsy. The school claimed that the basis for her firing was insubordination and legal threats. Perich was a “called minister,” and according to the school, someone whose religious teaching abaility was key to her job. They asserted that the First Amendment gave them the right to select and retain religious teachers for any reasons they wished. The EEOC sued Hosanna-Tabor on Perich’s behalf.
The problem with your claim is that the EEOC sued Hosanna-Tabor on September 28, 2007.
At this time, George W. Bush was the President.
It’s true that by the time the Supreme Court weighed in on the issue, Barack Obama had succeeded Bush as chief executive. But Obama’s administration, at best, simply continued asserting a position that the government first took under President Bush.
Which appears to be the case in most cases cited as instances of the SCOTUS slapping down Obama.
I’m sure he’d call it Ambrosia.
Granted, there is also a Democrat Party. For certain values of “is.”
Was the Obama Administration legally obligated to defend the Bush Administration’s position? They stopped defending the DOMA, from the Clinton Administration, after all.
The EEOC reports to Obama. So does the Solicitor General, who argued against Hosanna-Tabor. Doesn’t the buck stop there?
You are a very unique brand of stupid.
Well if “unique” is the correct word, let us count our blessings…
It doesn’t work that way, you made the claim, you back it up. Rhetoric doesn’t count.
I did.
I know, someone earlier insulted loons by comparison to the OP…
No, you haven’t backed that up yet; and it has already been decisively refuted.
Oh, brother. Based on your posts that I can remember you actually believe this stupidity you write. Republicans don’t hate government. They view it as vital. Necessary. They just want it to be as small as it can be while still doing those things that government should do. They want to make it smaller. And that’s something everyone should want. The same way we should want as small an army as is practical.
So…Grover only wanted to drown it in a bathtub a little?
