Reality is the debt ceiling has become meaningless. It is used for political theater but is automatically extended. It serves no purpose so why have it. That's way too sensible. It's just that some,people want three shots at the target. First they authorize a program in substantive legislation, wit...

Re: Trump sides with Dems on debt ceiling, Harvey relief

Re: Huckabee schools Stephanopoulos on SC and civics

What law? The government is granted powers and rights. There has to be a law saying Davis can issue marriage licenses to gays. There isn't one right now.

Re: Chutzpah, theClinton says officials should obey the law.

Marriage licenses have, and always will, be under the purview of the states. The exception to this (and to all state laws) is that if there is a law that violates the Constitution, it is not valid. As of June xx, 2015, the KY marriage amendment concerning SSM, became invalid. Then, the KY governor ...
