Montanans Launch Recall of Senators Who Approved NDAA Military Detention

[bigrebnc1775]

Just heard this but not from a reliable source. Does anyone have any other information on this?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

If this is true it's something I would support.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Has anyone heard of this? Or doesn't anyone here care?

What I have heard came from other sources right leaning sources. I looking for something other than the basic internet blogs and opinionated sources.

I saw something similar to that but did not want to use it as a source. That's why I posted in a question form.

This is the only thing I saw on it. It popped up on my Facebook feed yesterday.

I haven't looked for any other sources, though.

Dear Montanans:

You can't recall U.S. Senators, you fucking morons. A sitting U.S. Senator can only become not a U.S. Senator by a) having his term expire without reelection, b) expulsion by a 2/3 vote of the Senate c) death d) resigning.

Dear babbling liberoidal dumbass:

Montana is one of nine states with provisions that say that the right of recall extends to recalling members of its federal congressional delegation, pursuant to Montana Code 2-16-603, on the grounds of physical or mental lack of fitness, incompetence, violation of oath of office, official misconduct, or conviction of certain felony offenses.

NDAA Vote Could Force Recall of Montana Senators, Congressman

Worth repeating
I'm wondering why all states don't have this?

Perhaps because it's not needed:

"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of Chusing Senators."

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 4.

Recall arguably falls into the above category. The only potential hitch is that Congress can say "no you can't!" merely by voting it so.

I have about 10,000 reason why Congress will never be allowed to say no if the people say you must go.

Just heard about this last night. The states fight back! I hope it spreads.

Was it from a mainstream media outlet or from an internet blog?

Well, I don't know how this will play out, but I totally agree with the effort to hold our elected officials accountable for this kind of idiocy.

However, I was objecting to the whole Patriot Bill business from the git-go, and being called a terrorist loving traitor by the 'Conservatives'. Now that we have a Democratic President, they suddenly find time to read the Bill of Rights. Better late than never, I suppose.

Had not heard of General Butler before, but he was definately a brave and honest man.

"Two time Medal of Honor winner Marine General Smedley Butler once said "There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. Time to fight. "

Butler famously ended his career as a Marine General by touring the country with his speech and book denouncing war, "War is a Racket."Butler confessed that he had spent most of his life as a "high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers...a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism..."

Eighteen states at present have recall laws, most of which do not apply to federal officials. For these and other states to recall federal officials, state legislatures would have to first pass or amend such laws.


Rising on the House floor to oppose the bill based on the military detention provisions for Americans, Rep. Tom McClintock said before the House vote:


" today, we who have sworn fealty to that Constitution sit to consider a bill that affirms a power contained in no law and that has the full potential to crack the very foundation of American liberty."

Montana and those other 8 states can pass all the laws they want - its the CONSTITUTION specifies the length of a Senator's term. I mean come on, seriously? You think a state can just unilaterally re-write the Constitution? How how about Montana passes a law saying they get 20 Senators and 100 Congressmen?

U CAN'T RECALL A SITTING U.S. SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE, READ THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION MORONS

You can't recall a Senator without altering the length of his term.
The Constitution determines the length of a Senator's term, not the state from which the Senator came.

For real bro, have any of you fucktards even READ THE CONSTITUTION

Originally Senators were appointed...that's in the Constitution as well. Looks like things changed.
