Geithner Fails U.S. Constitution Pop-Quiz

March 29th, 2009 (17) Posted By Pat Dollard.

Earlier in the week Pat posted about Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and her standing up to what’s developing in our country and government.

Pat included a video clip of Michele, but it was a shortened version (addressing the “global currency” aspect of the cross-exam) of the one below.

In the below video you will see Bachmann “quizzing” Tim Geithener about the Constitution … most specifically she challenges Geithner to cite for her where in the US Constitution he thinks/believes his demands for more authority and power derive from … Geithner fails the “pop-quiz”:

BTW, I’m certain Rep. Bachmann would have been willing to allow Geithner an “open book pop-quiz”, and hand him her pocket US Constitution … which to this day he’d still be fingering through for answers to her questions of such.

    1. Dodd, you fucking asshole!! :mad: How dare you try to cover up the honorable representative’s protest with some bullshit about time constraints!

    2. Rather amusing to see Geithner and Bernanke squirm. Rather curious how Geithner kept skirting the constitutionality of his actions. Kept referring to Congress’ supposed authorization of his actions. Interesting to note how Geithner suggested that giving him MORE power (“authorization”) would allow him to do more. Typical of your average huckster.

    Barney Frank, you can always count on him to be a fucktard…..

    I wish that lady was my rep here in Wisconsin….She has more balls than most of the people sitting around her and to watch her make Dumb and Dumber stumble all over themselves trying to answer questions they weren’t prepped for was priceless.

    Isn’t it amazing that it seems that conservative women have more balls than most of the republican men these days, Palin, Coulter and Bachman.

    What a sad statement about the men in our country.

      What men? In DC? What?

    Article 1
    Section 8
    Clause 18

      Exactly so. I find it sadly humorous when libtards claim we are being “subversive” when the fact of the matter is this; our Constitutional Republic has already been overthrown.

      Pun intended.

      clause 2 – To borrow money on the credit of the United States.
      clause 5 – To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.

      Congress has in essence gone against the constitution in ceding their responsibility to the Secratary[sic] of the Treasury. Why does the President appoint this office? I can’t seem to find under what branch they have authority. Is it Legislative or Executive? Maybe we should all be lawyers, or maybe my public education in the area of civics is lacking.

    Whatever happened to that “Open and Transparent” government we were told about?

    • http://snooperreport.com Mark Harvey (aka Snooper)

      You mean that opaque transparency thing?

    • TechnicalDeath

      Yeah! That one!

    • Bill Smith

      I believe that should be spelled with a capital “O” as in Opaque, if you get my drift.

    I love how Frank wasted more time explaining the rules than if he’d just shut the hell up and let Geithner answer. Moron.

    The Constitution grants the congress the right to do certain things. Then the executive branches does those things for them- executes the laws. Basic civics.

    That’s why we can’t treat Bank of America like any other bank. Laws were written to repeal the laws once on the books which prevented banks from getting tangled up in brockerages, finance companies in insurance companies. Bank of America and AIG fall outside of traditional definitions of companies that the FDIC could take over, clean out, and make whole again. They have bank components, investment components, insurance components and so on and so forth. What Geithner wants is the authority to do what’s necessary to deal with the zombie banks once and for all

    Barney Franks….is an asshole… nasty fat sloppy one.

  • Paslode

    Bernake looked to his right on the question of a Global Currency…he is lying. Both Gietner and Bernake are diversing of a massive stroke.
