Fixed.

He'll have a large enough majority in congress to reverse all of these (well, the ones landing inside 60 days of congress convening). His transition team has said they are planning to do just that, though I haven't read anything from the Senate side. I'm assuming there are going to be a lot of reversals.Zero Hero said:Obama has to do the same shit Bush did when he came into office and halt all this shit. Bush killed a lot stuff when he came in office after Clinton. Mr. Obama needs to kill this shit and return the favor.

Oh, really now...ahem:whytemyke said:Hey, guys.
You know it's still a federal crime to talk about killing the President, right?
Just have seen it a fwe times and I think that you guys should, you know, know the laws.
as far as i know it's still legal to threaten to kick him in the dick if you ever see him at your local applebees, though...Rewrite said:Oh, really now...ahem:I've got nothing.

A Bush SUPPORTER? How quaint! Aw man, haven't seen one of those in awhile.
I just want to know what you don't like its simple. I feel like people are just jumping in the bandwagon of fuck Bush.whytemyke said:Hey, guys.

I feel you bro. OBAMA rocks my socks too.OuterWorldVoice said:Read a fucking newspaper from the last 8 years for fuck's sake. Fuck.

But I'm talking about the new regulations. Can you tell what you don't like about these new regulations.

mAcOdIn said:The one about allowing doctors and clinical workers to not do procedures or prescriptions that go against their beliefs. That always seemed like a no brainier to me. I mean, here in Texas even you can find a guy that'd be all too happy to do an abortion or sell the morning after pill, I never understood why we were wanting to force people to break their convictions.

dark steve said:So who do you suggest defines what beliefs are and aren't valid as they apply to medical practice?
FlightOfHeaven said:Dude.
Even this doesn't mesh with your libertarian ideologies. These are regulations needed to stop corporations from fucking us over. If it weren't for regulations like these, we'd be breathing asbestos. What's good about allowing corporations to dump waste into our drinking water?
OuterWorldVoice said:I believe mAc is saying all beliefs are legit. So you could be a surgeon and refuse to give a blood transfusion because you were a Christian Scientist. And so on.
However, what he's really talking about is ABORTION.
Ironically, I agree. I don't think a doctor should have to give an abortion. But then doctors actually don't have to give abortions anyway. As a matter of fact, they don't have to perform any non emergency procedures.
However, if they refused to perform a life-saving abortion, they'd be in contravention of the hypocratic oath, which predates Christ.
for the record, I don't think a private pharmacy should have to give out abortion pills either.

Guy shoots Kennedy but when a shithead like Bush comes around they're no where to be seen.
What the fuck, America?

Can you tell me which part of whitehouse.gov to look under? I checked executive orders but there doesn't seem to be anything recent.Phoenix said:You can get all of this information from whitehouse.gov if you want to roll through all of the last minute executive orders and such. While RS may have a particular slant on this, all of the regulations are there for anybody to read. Waiting for a 'real' journalist to pick this up is how these sorts of things end up becoming/staying law. it shouldn't matter WHAT the source is, only that what they are saying is factual.

FlightOfHeaven said:"In early December, the administration finalized a rule that allows the industry to dump waste from mountaintop mining into neighboring streams and valleys"
"the administration has opened up nearly 2 million acres of mountainous lands in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming for the mining of oil shale an energy-intensive process that also drains precious water resources."
"the administration has approved last-minute regulations that will allow animal waste from factory farms to seep, unmonitored, into America's waterways."
"the White House exempted more than 100 major polluters from monitoring their emissions of lead, a deadly neurotoxin."
"the Labor Department is finalizing a rule openly opposed by Obama that would hamper the government's ability to protect workers from exposure to toxic chemicals"
"But the wording of the new rule is so vague as to allow providers to deny any treatment that anyone in their practice finds objectionable including contraception, family planning and artificial insemination."
"In a rule that went into effect on December 8th, the administration also limited vision and dental care for more than 50 million low-income Americans who rely on Medicaid."
"One rule under consideration would roll back Watergate-era prohibitions barring state and local law enforcement from spying on Americans and sharing that information with U.S. intelligence agencies."
Well, Clover was asking the question to a specific person, who also happens to not be you.FlightOfHeaven said:Not too difficult, it was answered a page ago.
Even Jaydubya found something objectionable in there.
Explain to me how Executive Order #9066 was a "regulation" without sounding stupid. And I'm not saying all executive orders are bad; just the idiotic ones.GashPrex said:yes, yes it is - president's only enact legislation by signing a bill into law. he can't just make it up and pass it...sorry.
President's enact regulations as that is the entire point of an executive branch, to administer the laws. Generally, laws have enabling parts of bills that give power to executive branch to pass regulations that deal with small details of enacting these laws. Laws never have everything in them - and so the executive branch takes on that role.
what it looks like to me is happening is that the comment period is waived for these. also, it would be my guess that its actually the separate admin branches passing these - not bush (though it certainly maybe at his direction)
The question asked for an opinion.FlightOfHeaven said:The answer is out there, even if the question wasn't directed towards me.
Does it matter who provides the answer, as long as the answer is there and is correct?
