TO WITTHE GAZA STRIP

As the nation debates the merits of Scientology yet again (and this time, it doesn’t involve Oprah, furniture…or Brooke Shields), as the feds get more time in the Blago case…

As doctors will make web calls in Hawaii…

As Ann Coulter reportedly has been banned from not only the Today Show…but the entire NBC Network (don’t look for her on “Superstars of Dance” anytime soon).

Coulter’s appearance was scheduled for this morning, but it was suddenly canceled. Perez Hilton (whose trademark is photo-shopping cocaine and seminal fluid onto celebrity photos) was scheduled to take her place.


The most curious thing from a Drudge Report exclusive, is this quote:

“We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now,” a TODAY insider reveals. “It’s such a downer. It’s just not the time, and it’s not what our audience wants, either.”

Instead, Coulter will appear on CBS’ “The Early Show.”

“I love you, Harry Smith,” said Coulter last night on Fox News.

But this may not be the biggest dust-up of the week. Senate nominee Roland Burris is going to show up in Washington on Wednesday.

“I will sit down and talk to Mr. Reid and tell him I’m here to take my seat,” Burris said.

A media firestorm will ensue—especially if the Senate Majority Leader attempts to strip Burris of his appointment.

It’ll look like Gaza City. Just for the day.

As the champagne showers are done, as Cuba (and Hollywood) celebrates 50 years of…revolution…

As President Bush experiences his final days…

As this is the last year we have to see people wearing those New Year’s Eve sunglasses with the double zeros…

Some things we can’t stand and/or can’t wait to cycle out of our culture in the new year:

Twittering
Mortgage backed securities
Frank Luntz’s focus group polls
Informal clothing
Tanning
The NBA
Hybrid cars
People who constantly use jokes that involve saying “I threw up in my mouth a little”
House music
Madonna
Constitutional illiteracy
Larry Craig jokes
People who lost money with Bernie Madoff (and think the government should give it back)
Scripted reality TV
People who wear clothing from The North Face

THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION

In 1969, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress itself had no power to set additional qualifications for members. Therefore, today, the U.S. Senate must seat Roland Burris. Whether they like it — or not.

From Powell V. McCormack:

6. The case does not involve a “political question,” which, under the separation of powers doctrine, would not be justiciable. Pp. 395 U. S. 518-549.

(a) The Court’s examination of relevant historical materials shows at most that Congress’ power under Art. I, § 5, to judge the “Qualifications of its Members” is a “textually demonstrable constitutional commitment . . . to [that] co-ordinate political department of government” (Baker v. Carr, 369 U. S. 186, 369 U. S. 217) to judge only standing qualifications which are expressly set forth in the Constitution; hence, the House has no power to exclude a member-elect who meets the Constitution’s membership requirements. Pp. 395 U. S. 518-548.

(b) The case does not present a political question in the sense, also urged by respondents, that it would entail a “potentially embarrassing confrontation between coordinate branches” of the Government, since our system of government requires federal courts on occasion to interpret the Constitution differently from other branches. Pp. 395 U. S. 548-549.

7. In judging the qualifications of its members under Art. I, § 5, Congress is limited to the standing qualifications expressly prescribed by the Constitution. P. 395 U. S. 550.
