Tough talk against BP isn't enough from Obama Neither the executive branch of the U.S. government nor BP can be proud of the way they have handled the environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. President Barack Obama's escalating tough talk against BP, in particular, is a weak political maneuver that only magnifies his administration's inaction on the big questions that have arisen from the oil spill.
ORONO - The news that an Italian court convicted on Wednesday a base chief for the CIA and 22 other Americans for the crime of rendition was evidence that the executive branch of the U.S. government has too much power, activist and author David Swanson told a small group of people Thursday afternoon at the University of Maine. The crime for which the Americans were convicted surrounded the kidnapping of a Muslim cleric from the streets of Milan in 2003, according to a story Wednesday in The New York Times. The cleric was flown from an American air base in Italy to a base in Germany and then on to Egypt, where he asserts that he was tortured, the newspaper said.
We are witnessing a vast and subtle world conquest by the mammoth corporations in collusion with the executive branch of the S. government: an exaggeration and exploitation of the free enterprise system conceived in the 18th century.
The National Industrial Recovery Act, enacted in Jun 1933, had been declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court, as unconstitutionally delegating nondelegable legislative authority to the executive branch of the government. Labor would say: get people employed, and, once working, keep them working. Employers would say: keep production processes operating without insurmountable, internal impediments. For many in labor, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was mortally wounded by the Taft Hartley Amendments. Others, however, would contend that those amendments were congruent with the Golden Age of labor's power, influence, and workforce density for the next quarter century, 1947-1972. Many critics would say that NLRA today is in hell. For the first decade, the Act's many critics,...
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is amending its regulations pertaining to the export and import of nuclear materials and equipment. This rulemaking is necessary to reflect the nuclear non-proliferation policy of the Executive Branch regarding U.S. Government obligations to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Also, this final rule makes certain editorial revisions, and corrects typographical errors.
The executive branch of the U.S. government, including the Department of Energy, cannot see fit to budget $7 million for the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory for fiscal year 2006 as it did in 2005. In fact, it is budgeting nothing. The executive branch, including the DOE, has requested a 15.1 percent budget increase for defense nuclear proliferation, going from a FY '05 appropriation of $1.442 billion to $1.637 billion in FY '06. According to the very respected Center for Defense Information in Washington D.C., the bulk of this money in the DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration's budget goes to eliminating weapons-grade plutonium production in Russia, including the yet-to-be-constructed mixed-oxide fuel fabrication facility there.
Editor, the Tribune: If it is Vice President Dick Cheney's determination that his position is not part of the executive branch of the U.S. government - and thus his papers are private and need not be provided to the National Archives - then let this separation be formally acknowledged by Congress. Thereupon he may be relieved of all powers and authority granted to the second-highest executive position in the land - the one he's been duplicitously inhabiting - and return to private life.
The executive branch of our government has failed us. The abuses of Iraqi and Afghani prisons, as well as the implication of such abuses in Guantanamo Bay, is a direct consequence of a top-down decision. The Bush administration and Department of Defense denied Geneva Convention rights to prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. They chose, they decided, and they were wrong. Now the consequences are plain to see. The abuse is horrible, disgusting, and a direct violation of the human rights of the prisoners.
