from the link by Pima:
"Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. "And these documents suggest the Speaker's congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else."
boorish demands for military travel? this is ridiculous. She has NO choice!
Now, since the first part of the statement is absurd, I can't give any credibility to the rest.
so what? She is not allowed to fly commericial. If she was then she would be able to either cancel a flight at the last minute or buy a ticket at the last minute. Peoples schedules do change.The woman is known to order the jet and then cancel.

Answer to both questions is this: Nancy Pelosi (D)I ask this with no antagonism, what is it about her that you can defend her actions? I am truly curious, because I do not see it from a military standpoint. She uses the military for her personal gain, but does not support them from a professional point.
I thought the Speaker of the House was second in line and The President pro tempore of the Senate was third in Line....after which it started into the Cabinet positions. I don’t recall if it is the Secretary of State or Treasury who is next…boy that has been a long time ago since I thought about any of that.
I do agree with the shudder though…..does not matter if the current speaker is second or third...
Your going to feel foolish on this one, but the speaker of the house is NOT second...
The Vice President is...
But other than that I believe your correct
I'm not sure if the Framers saw education as a federal issue...I certainly can't find it in the Constitution....
I can't, either.
Nor can I find a mandate for the Federal Government to set up a pension scheme (Social Security).
Nor can I find a mandate for the Federal Government to set up a healthcare system (Medicaid, Medicare, and the abortion being forced through Congress as we type).
Nor can I find a mandate for the Federal Government to set up an environmental department.
And the list goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on.......
But hey! Let's cut the military!
and then I believe that the Necessary and Proper clause -Article 1 - gives Congress the authority to enact laws not expressly forbidden or reserved to the States - a question which was settled before Andrew Jackson was the President. You guys are about 200 years too late in arguing the powers of Congress. Now you can argue (pretty convincingly IMO) that many if not most of the creations of Congress are the least efficient means to affect those purposes."We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
