Barothmuk Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Corporate power? Are you serious? What power do you think corporations have? Can they throw you in jail? Can that seize your life savings? Can they take your guns, your home, your children from you? The most powerful corporation in the world could not take one penny from your checking account without your permissionHAHAHAHAHA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What laws can be passed is hugely impacted by the president since he has the power of veto. Want to get some BS bill signed into law? Pass something the president likes. Not to mention there are bills that need to be renewed which gives the president influence over congress. The President has incredible power to turn things around even without abusing executive orders. The function of the executive is to be a check on Congress and to enforce the laws that congress passes and he/she signs. Apparently our current President missed that day they taught that in law school. A Paul Ryan presidency, while not the best outcome it certainly would not be bad, would be defined why what Congress looks like and how well he can work with them. If Congress is controlled by the left then at least he can protect us from them and they can protect us from him. That is how it is supposed to work. That Congress has allowed the President to modify existing law outside the legislative process and selectively choose which laws he will enforce and which he won't is absolutely unforgivable.

LadyCrimson Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 ^ I don't know about what legal limits are, but this is why I don't like the "camera on every corner" concept that the world is going towards. But the airport security stuff has been pretty overboard imo since 9/11. Does it make us statistically safer ... can't really say. But it doesn't feel great. ...not sure it's really related to speech itself, tho. More the Orwellian type of debate perhaps. How fear tends to breed allowance of things that might not sit well with us normally. “Things are as they are.
