Leave it to Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Tyler) to do something as stupid as compare the “energy independence” debates in Congress to the great debates over slavery that happened in the U.S. Congress well more than a century ago. And, of course, his attempt to weasel out of it is caught on video: You may recall that this isn’t the first time Gohmert’s loud mouth has gotten him into trouble....
It is a good video from the folks at the Hill. I think Louie Gohmert must be a PrairiePundit fan. He argues that Democrats are OPEC's best friend. That is a continuing theme here. These guys are making a persuasive case and there is no Democrat rebuttal because the Democrats are hiding from the issue. Hat tip to Graham.
Louie Gohmert, a Republican representative from Texas, has a beef with the Supreme Court: its justices are deciding questions of law. Gohmert — not to be confused with Gomer (Pyle) or Homer (Simpson) — is unhappy with the court’s majority opinion that Guantanamo prisoners are entitled to the constitutionally guaranteed right of habeas corpus, allowing [...]
Leave it to Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Tyler), the ideological howler monkey of the Texas Congressional Delegation, to author a piece of legislation that–by even existing–is a massive waste of governmental resources, not to mention being disrespectful to the very institution he serves. This week, Gohmert introduced a stupidly sarcastic bill proposing that detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba be moved...
‘Cuz we got East Texas Congressmen like Louie Gohmert who introduce bills like this– HR 6615 IH 110th CONGRESS 2d Session To provide for the transport of the enemy combatants detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Washington, DC, where the United States Supreme Court will be able to more effectively micromanage the detainees by holding them on the Supreme [...]
One Congressman grows a set and stands up in the face of the Politics of Adolescents, and begins to behave as an adult. As reported on Politico : By REP. LOUIE GOHMERT After reading through Boumediene v. Bush, I cannot help but feel that it is simply about the judiciary expanding its own power by usurping the clearly defined constitutional powers of Congress and the president. In essence, the Supreme...
Source: [b]Politico[/b] Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) apparently hasn't taken kindly to the U.S. Supreme Court's insistence that the judiciary has a right to play a role in determining the fate of the detainees held at Guantanamo Bay. If they want to get involved, Gohmert reasons, then let them ...
Where have you gone , Louie Gohmert? Way back, you said that "Washington, D.C. is also the only city in the entire country that every senator and every member of Congress has a vested interest in seeing that it works properly, that water works, sewer works, and no other city in America has that." The only reason we ask is to see if you could kinda tap on Sen. Tom Coburn's office door and sorta ask...
Can I get a "whoop whoop" for Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX-01)? Last Friday, his office issued this press release . Excerpt: In an effort to bring long overdue change and accountability to the Congressional process of requesting funds for certain projects, Congressman Gohmert has chosen not to request earmarks for Fiscal Year 2009. The decision comes as a result of House Republicans challenging the Majority...
Leave it to Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Tyler) to do something so stupid as to take Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” Speech and bastardize it and turn it into an anti-choice rallying cry. That's what he did this week at a rally on the National Mall, note the good folks over at Texas Insider : “We’re here not too far from where one great American, Martin Luther King, Jr., said he had...
I was surprised to find a guest op-ed decrying the SCHIP veto in the Longview News-Journal over the weekend, given the paper is in the midst of deep-red East Texas. The op-ed, by Longview attorney Sarah S. White, was very well done, and pulled no punches when it came to Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Tyler): Fixing and funding SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) should have been a no-brainer....
All three of my guesses were wrong on the anti-obesity amendment -- the courageous anti-anti-obesity congressmen were Louie Gohmert (R., Tex.), Steve King (R., Iowa) and Dave Weldon (R/. Fla.). They were the ones to vote against a resolution expressing the sense of the House that schools should choose foods for their school lunch menus that do not make kids fat. What to make of Ron Paul's 'aye' vote?...
Heard on the Hill: Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) saw the sign and took it…Rep. Wally Herger (R-Calif.) would like to introduce you to his new Dem friend, Rep. Something Meek (D-Fla.)… Rep....
