Mark Levin to Sue if Slaughter Rule is Used to Pass Health Care

I reported this earlier in the week, but Mark Levin, a Constitutional attorney and the President of Landmark Legal Foundation confirmed to CNSNews that he will file an immediate lawsuit if House Democrats use an "unconstitutional" manuever to pass the Senate Health Care bill without actually voting on it, a process now dubbed the Slaughter Rule. See a video below.

Levin said he wants to "put the marker down," and make the members of the House aware that they will have an immediate legal challenge "the moment the House acts."

Visit Landmark Legal to see a draft pdf of the complaint. See Levin's statement on why the Slaughter Rule is unconstitutional here.

Robert Bob Bauer is Anita Dunns Husband: Robert Bauer is Barack Obamas Lawyer: Dunn Bauer Power Couple

Robert 'Bob' Bauer is Anita Dunn's husband. Anita Dunn is President Obama's White House Communications Director. Robert Bauer is Barack Obama's personal attorney and the attorney for Obama for America since January 2007. See video below. Update 11-13-09 below.

Update 10-23-09: FOX News reports on Glenn Beck's news that Robert Bauer is being considered to replace Greg Craig as White House Chief Counsel. You might remember Craig's as the man responsible for the unprecedented firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin. See updates below video.

Robert 'Bob' Bauer - Anita Dunn: Power Couple

This power couple is in the news because Anita Dunn has recently made to controversial statements: (1) that Fox News is an "arm of the Republican party," and that Mao Tse Tung is one of the two philosophers Dunn most often turns to [assuming for 'wisdom.'] That comment put her husband in the spotlight, because he is also a member of Barack Obama's inner circle.

This report says Robert 'Bob' Bauer is Obama's personal attorney, attorney on political matters, and he is also chief counsel at the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and he is "the chief of the political law group at Perkins Coie headquartered in Seattle.

Bauer is considered "one of the nation's pre-eminent experts on election and campaign finance law." He is tending to Obama's interests on the Rod Blagojevich matter. I was wondering if he represented Obama on his "natural born" status, and wouldn't you know, WorldNetDaily has some of the answer, but maybe not all of it:

[Perkins Coie] ...the Seattle law firm hired by the White House to defend Obama in court cases challenging his "natural born" citizenship status and thus, his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution to be president. 

 If Bauer has not argued in court to keep Obama's "real"  "long form" birth certificate away from the public, we know he must have worked behind the scenes. You'll read below that Bauer is considered to be an "elite" and part of a "wiley group" in Washington, D.C.

Bob Bauer was counsel to Tom Daschle during Bill Clinton's impeachment trial. He worked for the presidency of Bill Bradley and John Kerry. He actively worked against Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign by arguing union support for Hillary in Indiana was illegal.

From this New York Times article from 2004:

Mr. Ginsberg [Benjamin] on the Republican side and Robert Bauer, a Democratic lawyer, have established themselves at the pinnacle of an elite and wily group of Washington election lawyers who have been testing -- critics say weakening -- the new McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law, as politicians and parties try to navigate the complex rules to their clients' maximum benefit.

Bob and Anita were featured as one of Newsweek's Top Power Couples in 2008. In fact, they are the only power "couple" mentioned - they were designated "The Couple" in an article titled The D.C. Powers. You can see what is alleged to be the Bauer-Dunn's home in Chevy Chase, MD by clicking here. Bauer is listed as a "partner" located in Washington, D.C. on the Perkins Coie website.

See the story of the "Fox News" bashing in the video below.

Update: 10-23-09:
Major Garrett, FOX News says that Bauer may move from the top attorney for the DNC, AND Obama's personal lawyer to the post of White House Chief Counsel to replace Greg Craig. The White House is mum on the matter but Garrett cites unnamed Democrats "close to the situation. Obama's media controller, Anita Dunn, and Bauer's wife, isn't talking either.

Update 11-13-09:

It was announced today that Robert "Bob" Bauer IS replacing current White House counsel Greg Craig. Lots of rumors: was Greg Craig ousted over his tardy closing of Gitmo? or the way he fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin - a scandal underway right now? Or did Obama just want his long-time personal attorney, Bob Bauer, in the White House?

Democrat Party Lawyered-Up

One of my "baby" brothers sent this to me. We do not know where it originated. I haven't checked every fact, but when you read it, you'll know almost everything is true, if not everything.
All emphasis is mine.

********

The Democrat Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer, and so is his wife, Elizabeth. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate). Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and, Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.

Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting President, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work. The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.

The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers' Party, grow.

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.

This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side.

Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine, but it is an awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become 'adverse parties' of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next President is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big. When lawyers use criminal prosecution as a continuation of politics by other means, as happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay, then the power of lawyers in America is too great. When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

We cannot expect the Lawyers' Party to provide real change, real reform, or real hope in America. Most Americans know that a Republic in which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Most Americans grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit of entreprenurial rise in our economy.

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.
