Not so much for the aqueduct. So Cal must take care of their real infrastructure deficiencies in securing a more reliable water supply before we literally destroy one of Nature's most beautiful of estuaries and drain it dry to satisfy So. Cal's insatiable desire for more.)

Reagan-Appointed Judge Blasts Obama for Abuse of Executive Power Regarding Guantanamo Prisoners
http://www.allgov.com/news/controversies/reagan-appointed-judge-blasts-obama-for-abuse-of-executive-power-regarding-guant%C3%A1namo-prisoners-120910?news=845262
Under the Obama MOU, counsel for the detainees would be unable to access classified information, Guantánamo officials could cite “operational needs and logistical constraints” at any time to prevent a detainee’s access to lawyers, and Guantánamo’s military commander would have “final and unreviewable discretion” to enforce the MOU.LewRockwell.com
Slamming the last provision, Lamberth wrote that “If the separation-of-powers means anything, it is that this country is not one ruled by executive fiat. Such blanket, unreviewable power over counsel-access by the executive does not comport with our constitutional system of government.”

ForgeryGate Larry Klayman's Historic Letter to DNC Legal Counsel
http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/forgerygate-larry-klaymans-historic-letter-to-dnc-legal-counsel/
The thrust of Larry Klayman’s letter to Attorney Bauer and the DNC is that as chief legal counsel, he cannot recommend that they place candidate Obama’s name on the Official Certificates of Nomination, or OCON’s, which they are required to submit to election officials in all fifty states. The bottom line, according to Attorney Klayman, is that given the refusal of Hawaii Registrar for Vital Statistics, Alvin Onaka, to verify the key facts of Obama’s birth as well as the validity of the birth certificate itself (posted at whitehouse.gov), when requested to do so by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, back on March 30th, there is no legally-allowable basis for any official to accept the document as proof of identity. It simply can’t be done legally!FoxNews.com

(If you liked the past four years of Obama politics, this is just a little bit of what you can expect if reelection is successful:
Those with bowl seating who were not delegates were told to find seats on the second-floor level -- though the second-floor level had 100 seats behind the stage with no view of speakers or the giant TV screen inside the stadium.
I say,'yes, really...REALLY, with this administration, if you stand up for your rights, you lose your seat! And, well get used to it, there is no money, no cash, nothing as long as the current course we are on continues unobstructed. So how do you like it now Liberals? Rank and file people are truly second-class citizens in the Democrats' eyes. Shameful if they had any conscience.)

Today’s court hearing was a continuation of an August 3 hearing, in which Judge Kramer again rejected MWD’s arguments that the Water Authority was entitled to no discovery in the case. For the past eight months, MWD has vigorously tried to avoid any discovery in the case, filing numerous legal challenges to the court’s January 6, 2012 ruling that granted discovery, including a writ petition with California’s 1st Appellate District Court of Appeal. MWD’s writ was summarily denied by the Court of Appeal in April.AllGov.com
