On October 29, a 3-judge U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., dismissed the case Rodearmel v Clinton, 1:09-cv-171. Here is the 12-page opinion. It says that the State Department foreign service officer who filed the lawsuit lacks standing. The U.S. Constitution, Article I, sec. 6, clause 2, says that no member of Congress may be appointed to a federal executive position if Congress had increased the salary of that position while that member of Congress had been in Congress. The Defendant in this case is Hillary Rodham Clinton, who went from being a U.S. Senator, to Secretary of State, even though the salary of the Secretary of State had risen while Clinton was in the U.S. Senate.
On November 3, Judicial Watch, which sponsored the lawsuit, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its appeal. Thanks to Bill Van Allen for this news.
Soooo – the EVIL lawless devils in the regime can now ignore most / ALL of the Constitution – because *We the People* lack *standing* to cause it to be enforced ???
Gee thanks party hack Supremes — with their JUNK standing stuff from the 1920s.
So ho has standing in this case? The other candidates for Secretary of state? What a bunch of garbage. The government can do what it wants because the the courts will rule that no one has standing.
