How many judges did Clinton replace?
Janet Reno and Bill Clinton fired all 93 US Attorneys, including the prosecutor in Little Rock investigating the Clinton Whitewater scandal. A fact conveniently overlooked by Democrats in Congress calling for Alberto Gonzalez's resignation.
Why do people think police and fire are examples of socialism?
if i go by yahoo educations definition you need a central government or dictator for something to be considered socialism. so my local cops and firemen are federal employees? 1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. 2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
Office politics: is it reasonable that your boss just doesn't like you for no reasons?
Short answer: Yes, it's reasonable.Long answer: Companies don't necessarily need reasons to fire someone, so if you are still employed, someone is rooting for you or feels you are an asset to the company.Sometimes, personalities clash. Many people will transfer to different departments if they see any internal job openings. If you are a temporary employee, you are not being kept on the "outside," you ARE the outside. You don't work for the company, you don't earn (or lose) their benefits, and you are only there to do you job, as long as they need you. There is no expectation of fraternizing or making friends, and many long-term employees might get their feathers ruffled because you are picking up their slack.If you think it's a personality class with a Supervisor, you need to take it up with HR or the Manager, or whomever.
Who has more power, Attorney General or Chief Justice?
It depends on what you mean by power. The justices of the United States Supreme Court are Constitutional officers with life time appointments (I believe it is Article III of the Constitution). The justices are the ultimate arbitors of what does and does not violate the Constitution. However, the Chief Justice is just one of those votes. As Chief Justice he gets to dictate some procedural issue, etc. But his vote does not count more than any of the other eight justices (You could make Scalia Chief Justice on a high court with eight young liberals and the Pro-Choice movement could shut its doors confidant that a woman's right to an abortion is ironclad). The Supreme Court is further limited in that it can only rule on issues brought before it. (If Roe never sued Wade, then the Supreme Court could never have touched the issue of abortion). Not much of a limitation admittedly, since if it is an important issue there will be a lawsuit. The Attorney General on the other hand is a Cabinent Officer appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. He can also be fired by the President. He does not make the laws of the United States, but he does enforce them. However, as a member of the Cabinet and the Chief Law Enforcement officer the Attorney General has a great deal of political power. The current Gonzalez mess is a good example. In the view of congressional Democrats the attorneys fired by the Justice Department lost their jobs because they refused to pursue cases against certain liberal politicians. Assuming that is true you can see the political power of the AG rests with deciding who to prosecute. An example would be the power distribution between a Traffic Cop and the Traffic Court Judge. The Traffic Cop has the power to decide whether or not to give you a ticket. If he does give you a ticket, then the power rests in the hands of the Traffic Court Judge to determine if you will pay the fine.
Many said Trump wouldn't interfere with the federal judge's stay on the immigration ban, but he did fire the judge, so what do you think about that?
Trump did not “fire the judge”. He fired the Acting Attorney General who gave an instruction to the Justice Department to tell them not to enforce Trump’s immigration order.The primary function of most of the agencies under the Department of Justice is to enforce the law, not to question or interpret the law. For example, the FBI does not make a decision as to what laws they think they should enforce and what laws they think they should not enforce. If there is a question of the legality of a law, the appropriate place to resolve that question is in the courts.When the Acting Attorney General made her own determination that Trump’s Executive Order might not be legal without acting on a court decision on that and directed the Justice Department not to enforce it, she was clearly out-of-line and deserved to be fired.The legality of the executive order is still being litigated in the courts, as it should be. Until a legal determination is made by the courts, it is the responsibility of the Justice Department to enforce it.
Which government employees can Donald Trump fire? His cabinet members? Who else?
The President can fire only those government employees whose posts are appointed by the President and who “serve at the pleasure of the President”: the President’s closest staff and certain political appointees, such as Presidentially-appointed members of the Cabinet. The President cannot fire the heads of most independent agencies, nor can he fire federal judges, even though these posts are all appointed by the President, nor can the President fire the Vice President. The President also has no power to fire anyone who has been employed by the federal government through the federal civil service system; the President may initiate the process of reviewing whether a federal civil service employee should be terminated, but the decision to actually do so must be made according to the procedures established by Congress in the Pendleton Act, procedures in which the President generally has no privileged role. Similarly, military separations are handled by the military’s bureaucracy, and while the President has a certain amount of influence, the decision to separate an individual servicemember generally doesn’t lie with the President. Additionally, flag officers (generals and admirals) are appointed solely by Congress, and can be relieved of that rank only by Congress or by a court martial. The President can, at his discretion, reassign military personnel at will, or relieve them of duty, but not of their rank or their military employment, pay, and benefits.In practice, the President can cause a federal employee to be fired fairly easily, but for the vast bulk of federal employees, the President doesn’t have the authority to fire them straight away.Since it is customary for political appointees (other than those of independent agencies) to offer their resignations at the change of an administration, President Trump will not have the pleasure of going to all of Obama’s senior staffers and telling them that they’re fired: they’re going to quit before he has the chance. And practically everyone else is protected either by the Pendleton Act or by some other provision of law.
Socialism in America?
So far the only explanations are that they like to pretend that these are not socialistic institutions. Which they are! One guy thinks he's a Supreme Court Judge and another thinks that only people whose houses burn down should pay for the fire dept. Nice! By the way I have BS in Business with a minor in PoliSci. I paid for the degree with Federal Grants (aka socialism).
Is it worth fighting a parking ticket?
Def worth fighting...you cant lose. Even if you lose the traffic case, you'l have gained very valuable experience if you do it right. Get all the evidence you can: pix, measurements, copies of the law, etc. Get in court early and sit front row center or where ever you can see and hear the judge, prosecutor, defendants, etc, the best. Listen. Take notes. Dress well, wear a jacket, no jeans & sneaks; speak clearly; just ans the judge's question, no more. If judge wants to know more, judge will ask. Be serious unless the judge is jocular.
