Senate OKs Keystone XL, but without enough support to override veto (Change the rule)
The Senate passed legislation authorizing the Keystone XL pipeline by a 62-36 vote Thursday, a victory expected to be short-lived for the pipeline's backers as the bill heads to President Obama's desk for a likely veto.
Nine Democrats joined Republicans to pass the bill, which would OK the $8 billion Canada-to-Texas project. The bill was the first test for the GOP-led Senate, which pledged to stick to an open amendment process that was laborious and at times contentious over the nearly three weeks the bill was on the floor.
The bill now will go to the House for passage or head to a conference for reconciliation with the House version passed earlier this month. Obama already has threatened to veto the bill, saying it would circumvent a federal review that has taken more than six years.
"We'll see what happens going forward. But this was a tremendous bipartisan effort," said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., the bill's lead sponsor, who added he's not certain when the bill would come back for a vote if vetoed.
Democrats are certain they can block an attempt to override an eventual Obama veto. The pipeline's supporters were four votes shy Thursday of the 67 needed to overturn a veto.
"It's pretty clear that there are not the votes to override the bill in the House or the Senate," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters at a press conference in the Capitol.
Republicans weren't ready to concede defeat. But Hoeven said he believed Obama might approve the project if it is wrapped into broader energy legislation or a spending bill.
Hoeven noted Obama signed a 2012 bill that temporarily extended a payroll tax cut that included a directive to approve or deny TransCanada Corp.'s application for a cross-border permit to build the northern portion of its 1,700-mile pipeline. Obama rejected the permit, and TransCanada refiled.
"We do have precedent of attaching it to something and having him sign the bill," Hoeven told reporters.
Republicans and centrist Democrats have touted Keystone XL as a jobs bill. They noted the State Department's final environmental review said the pipeline would add 42,100 direct and indirect jobs during the two-year construction phase. The review also said Keystone XL would not significantly harm the environment.
"After dropping his scheme to tax middle-class college savings, we hope President Obama will now drop his threat to veto this common-sense bill that would strengthen our energy security and create thousands and thousands of new, good-paying American jobs," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin said he doesn't envision any scenario in which Obama OKs the pipeline through legislation, but he ultimately doesn't know what the president will decide to do about the project.
"That is the unanswered question and I've asked it of him several times," the Illinois Democrat told reporters.
The president has echoed concerns of environmentalists that the oil sands Keystone XL would export are destined for overseas and has downplayed the amount of jobs the pipeline would provide. He also has maintained that whether Keystone XL worsens climate change will be his litmus test for rejection or approval.
Democrats said Keystone XL would do little to add jobs, noting that the State Department said the pipeline would create 35 permanent posts. They also have called the department's environmental review suspect, and have pointed out the Environmental Protection Agency has called the analysis "inadequate."
"This bill is a disgrace, and it's the first bill [Republicans] bring up," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., missed the vote, as did Reid, who is recovering from eye surgery sustained from an exercise injury.

RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO LAW.. AND THE CONSTITUTION IS IN FLUX...

ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES BALLSY ENOUGH TO CREATE OUR NEW RULES PLAYBOOK ??

OBAMA MUST BE ARRESTED.. OR WE MUST REVOLT!! CHOOSE !!

WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE ARRESTED!

The President’s Duty to Faithfully Execute the Law. He swears to do that on the day he assumes office.
Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” The President must enforce all constitutionally valid Acts of Congress, regardless of the Administration’s view of their wisdom or policy. Without enforcement of the law, there cannot be accountability under law, which is essential to a functioning democracy. When the President fails to perform this duty, the Congress has appropriations and other powers over the President, but none of those powers can be exercised unless both houses of Congress work together. The most powerful means of solving this problem is the electoral process. Congress may also hold the President accountable by asking the courts to call the fouls when the lines of constitutional authority have been breached.

n 1838, early in his career, Abraham Lincoln delivered an address to the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois. It was entitled “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions.” In it, he said:
Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well-wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;—let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children’s liberty. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;—let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.
The President and the Take Care Clause
Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” This clause, known as the Take Care Clause, requires the President to enforce all constitutionally valid Acts of Congress, regardless of his own Administration’s view of their wisdom or policy. The clause imposes a duty on the President; it does not confer a discretionary power. The Take Care Clause is a limit on the Vesting Clause’s grant to the President of “the executive power.”
The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, in an opinion handed down just last year striking down the President’s assertion of authority to disregard a federal statute, provided a succinct description of the President’s obligations under the Take Care Clause, as follows:
Under Article II of the Constitution and relevant Supreme Court precedents, the President must follow statutory mandates so long as there is appropriated money available and the President has no constitutional objection to the statute. So, too, the President must abide by statutory prohibitions unless the President has a constitutional objection to the prohibition. If the President has a constitutional objection to a statutory mandate or prohibition, the President may decline to follow the law unless and until a final Court order dictates otherwise. But the President may not decline to follow a statutory mandate or prohibition simply because of policy objections. Of course, if Congress appropriates no money for a statutorily mandated program, the Executive obviously cannot move forward. But absent a lack of funds or a claim of unconstitutionality that has not been rejected by final Court order, the Executive must abide by statutory mandates and prohibitions.[1]
When the President fails to perform his constitutional duty that he take care that the laws be faithfully executed, the Congress has appropriations and other powers over the President, but none of those powers can be exercised unless both houses of Congress work together. Nor would the exercise of those powers solve the problem at hand, because they would not actually require the President to faithfully execute the laws.
Of course, the most powerful and always available means of solving the problem at hand is the electoral process. In the meantime, however, the need to pursue the establishment of clear principles of political accountability is of the essence. 

NOW WHEN THE CONGRESS AND MOST OF THE JUDICIARY HAVE BEEN USURPED AND THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT TO GET JUSTICE..

ONLY ONE CAUSE OF ACTION IS LEFT...
