Conn. Democrats delay asking Lieberman to quit
HARTFORD, Conn. - Connecticut Democrats have decided to delay action on a plan to censure Sen. Joe Lieberman and ask him to resign from the party.
-
STAMFORD, Conn. - Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut announced Wednesday that he will not seek a fifth term, ending a political career spanning four decades in which he evolved from a reliably Democratic state legislator into an independent U.S. senator who backed the war in Iraq and the Republican candidate for president.
While Lieberman's supporters lamented his decision not to run in 2012, many constituents, especially Democrats, said they were pleased because the "Joe" they knew as a state lawmaker and activist state attorney general is already long-gone.

For those concerned with constitutional adherence the primary issue is that the appointment of new executive branch officials and White House advisors may not be consistent with the Appointments Clause ofthe United States Constitution.13 While, for others the practical issue is that the expansive use of czars raises accountability, legislative oversight and governmental efficiency concerns.14 Both categories of issues implicate constitutional concerns of separation of powers,15 checks and balances,16 and doctrinal constitutional adherence. Since taking office, President Obama has notably increased the number and authority of advisors appointed through this controversial appointment practice,17 continuing an executive branch trend that should be controlled and slowed.

[...] yet the ADL viciously attacks conservatives, implying that there is some genetic anti-Semitism among right-wingers in order to hide the fact that anti-Semites are the ADL's best friends: the defeatists in Congress, the people who tried to drive Joe Lieberman from office, the hoodlums on college campuses who riot at any criticism of Muslim terrorists and identify Israel as an imperialist aggressor, and liberal college faculties calling for "anti-apartheid" boycotts of Israel.

Obama ahead in electoral tally

HARTFORD, Conn. - Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman took another step Tuesday toward mending his relationship with Democrats, saying that Barack Obama's actions since winning the presidency have been "just about perfect.
Everything that President-elect Obama has done since election night has been just about perfect, both in terms of a tone and also in terms of the strength of the names that have either been announced or are being discussed to fill his administration," Lieberman said during a visit to Hartford.

Jaded career politician or young, energetic visionary? After 18 years, Democrats have a choice. It's between Joe Lieberman, who, as his campaign mail says, "is as tough and steady as a mule," and Ned Lamont, who will stand up to the Bush administration, hold it accountable for the terrible state our country is in and take Connecticut forward by working for the majority and not the rich minority. Remember that when Lieberman ran with Al Gore for the vice presidency, he kept his Senate option open? He's doing it again. Appalled that he might at last lose his job, he says he'll run as an independent. Who does he represent? Lieberman puts Lieberman first.
His holier-than-thou condemnation of Bill Clinton for an action that was stupid and immoral but did not imperil the nation or meet the le...
