I think Big Time's not quite as involved in the military as he once was.

Maybe not in New Mexico...

And what skills do you have that are not available from U.S. applicants?

First, what do your mean by 'direct democracy? We elect our representatives now. Do you mean direct votes on specific bills or actions? That is at the last unnecessary, and risks making is a federalized nation, which at best ensures the demise of our constitution. What technology do we possess that now makes this possible? We have been able to accurately count votes nationally since the 70s, and really before. We don't need to count them instantaneously, nor do we national vote tallies unless you wish to obliterate the state's. Which I oppose without doubt or qualification.

That argument, direct democracy, is the calling card of the Left, especially the Marxist. Count me out.

You are correct, Senators represent the entire state. I'm so used to my old state, Maine , traditionally electing Senators from the North and the South that I think of one as 'my' senator.

But your complaint about gerrymandering falls on deaf ears. Each party practices this, and so called 'direct elections' would change the dynamics in a massive fashion. I would expect 'direct elections' to cement the Democratic Party advantage indefinitely.

I still cling to the 'State's part of 'The United States of America' as critical to our success, and to our political stability. That stability is on jeopardy largely due to, IMHO, Federal overreach and state failures.

I find the Left is generally in favor of 'direct elections'. For what should be obvious reasons.

Lerner was just an administrator of a department. Her bosses boss is responsible for enduring that the law is followed, that systems and processes are being employed to prevent this, and it is this administrator who should answer.

And his testimony so far has been an uninterrupted display of contempt for the law, Congress, and us.

There was no 'the election'. Each district elects their own Representatives or Senators. Stupid git.

Is this not taught in high school any more?

Wrong. Her records were and are subject to the retention laws on the books, and 6 month retention does not meet the requirements of the law. Specifically ask records of communications between her, her subordinates, and other agencies, particularly the White House. And the law requires paper copies be created and filed.

  Massive failure to meet the requirements of the law.

why are we skimping on the most fundamental aspect of college?"

Because it is profitable.

In other words, go after my IRA.

Confusing the criminal case with a political agenda is stupid.

But today it is astute. That was then....

"did not lose an irreplacable work product. "

Apparently, they did. You are incorrect

"Without this investigation, what they lost would be junk."

Investigations are one of the primary reasons to retain this data. You are incorrect again.

Try again.

My current .OST file is 6.8GB, down from 8.7GB after a purge of mail >2 years old. I have no legal holds nor regulatory holds, so this was a self-directed purge. I did, however, circumvent policy and archive to a local file.

I work for a Fortune 100 financial company, and we have similar regulatory requirements.

Blaming system constraints is disingenuous. Jail them.

Actually, this is about 501(c)4 groups. Different thing.

It is not crying wolf to point out one abuse and not another m. Perhaps the Senate could investigate those abuses against liberals?
