Comments on: Roundup https://thenewneo.com/2023/06/02/roundup-78/ A blog about political change, among other things Mon, 05 Jun 2023 02:35:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: R2L https://thenewneo.com/2023/06/02/roundup-78/#comment-2682637 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 02:35:39 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=126309#comment-2682637 Barry at 8:17am
your twitter link to Shellenberger has another interesting link further down:
https://journals.lww.com/health-physics/Fulltext/2022/02000/World_Atmospheric_CO2,_Its_14C_Specific_Activity,.2.aspx
This is a paper using carbon 14 measurements that suggest the fraction of whatever increases in CO2 that have occurred since 1750 have at most about a 12% contribution from burning fossil fuels. They of course suggest this is too small to be the major driver of AGW, and thus most of any increase in CO2 concentrations are due to other natural causes.

Not sure how valid all of that is, but perhaps another nail in the Climate Change coffin?

“Snow- Capitol cops report only to the House majority leader.”

But consider a thought experiment. As a police force with enforcement authority, just why is that? Article I Section 5 says “… Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, …” but does not mention other executive or law enforcement functions to be performed by the Congress or either House. So within its chambers, while in session, the leadership has controlling authority. And separately the Congress can pass legislation establishing the agency we call the Capital Police and define how and what it is to do. But if the core rule creating or legislation enforcement is reserved for the Article II Executive branch, shouldn’t and wouldn’t these Police report to and be controlled by an Executive branch office. At least on the Capital grounds and/or at the various protective locations they now appear to be assigned. Perhaps also within the capital bldg proper, aside from the two main chambers??And, if the VP is present, isn’t he/she surrounded by Secret Service agents for protection, etc.?? (i.e., Treasury Dept. personnel? Or is it DHS now?).

So this point of view could lead to a court challenge that the current controlling arrangement is actually in violation of the Constitution??? [Trump would have done that if he had thought of it!! 🙂 ] What is flawed about this idea? Why will it seem so absurd??

Everyone should have been standing at attention, hats or hands over their hearts, until the anthem was complete. For the Capitol Police or a Congressional staffer to not understand this basic rule of etiquette is a disgrace.
