Repeal the 12th Amendment of the US Constitution and go back to second place in the presidential race being VP. Now both parties put forth their best person, not who can be whom game, and the candidates have to act like civil humans because that’s their future boss/coworker/partner.

Before anyone says that having a President and a VP from different parties would be a problem just like it was in 1803 when this was written, how much worse can it be than today?

"The standard Beltway dogma is that there would be serious political costs from reversing the Bush/Cheney abuses of the Constitution and civil liberties. The success of Obama's campaign -- which emphatically and repeatedly vowed to do exactly that -- ought to have permanently retired that excuse." salon.com/news/opinion/gl…

In case anyone is under any illusions, here is a friendly reminder of what constitutes an emergency in order to invoke the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.

A lot of talk recently about the Government invoking the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 to avert the Benn Act. Well, here are the types of emergencies that qualify a Government to use the Act, as written in the Act itself:

(1) In this Part “emergency” means—

>(a) an event or situation which threatens serious damage to human welfare in a place in the United Kingdom,

>(b) an event or situation which threatens serious damage to the environment of a place in the United Kingdom, or

>(c) war, or terrorism, which threatens serious damage to the security of the United Kingdom.

2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) an event or situation threatens damage to human welfare only if it involves, causes or may cause—

>(a) loss of human life,

>(b) human illness or injury,

>(c) homelessness,

>(d) damage to property,

>(e) disruption of a supply of money, food, water, energy or fuel,

>(f) disruption of a system of communication,

>(g) disruption of facilities for transport, or

>(h) disruption of services relating to health.

3) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) an event or situation threatens damage to the environment only if it involves, causes or may cause—

>(a) contamination of land, water or air with biological, chemical or radio-active matter, or

>(b) disruption or destruction of plant life or animal life.

I've emboldened some words as I feel they deserve emphasis.

In summary, I don't understand how extending the Brexit deadline falls under the definition of an emergency that would allow the Government to use the Act.

Jan/25/2020 - News :: PM's press conference :: Pashinyan clashes with Constitutional Court chief :: Accuses HHK of "bribing" foreign officials :: Civil Aviation employees resist the system -- corruption bust :: George Soros :: other topics by PM :: Yerevan park owners

The accused are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, even if they sound guilty. Currency in Armenian ֏ unless specified otherwise. Archived posts by Idontknowmuch : PART 1 ; PART 2 ; PART 3 ; PART 4.


Today we have very spicy news. From Civil Aviation to George Soro, to Hrayr Tovmasyan. Prime Minister Pashinyan gave press conferences. Here are some bits:

Q: in 2016 you said the April-2016 battles happened with the knowledge and agreement of Russia. Do you still think that way?

A: We met and discussed this in a friendly atmosphere with the Russian colleagues, analyzed it, all the answers were given. https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/178926

 

There was no state coup recently, but there was a "revenge" by the former regime. There were dreams about a coup. There were sackings of officials, including those representing the former regime.

Q: Former NSS chief Arthur Vanetsyan says he's going to "speak" soon. Are you concerned?

A: No. There is a Kargin Haghordum comedy sketch by Hayko Mko in which the man scares others by saying "I know everything" ես ամեն ինչ գիտեմ to extort them. It's a similar situation. https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/178928

When I became PM, the Constitutional Court (CC) chief Hrayr Tovmasyan offered me help on daily basis by telling me about all the loopholes he knows in the Constitution, because "he wrote it", and that together we can do a lot of things. I rebuked him. I have no desire to cooperate with the corrupt regime.

Today the CC doesn't meet the Constitution. Constitution says CC's chief must be elected by CC members, but the current chief was elected by Parliament. And then there is the ongoing investigation about him being appointed with violations of law. The former regime has occupied the CC. https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/178935

BOSS-FIGHT

CC chief Hrayr Tovmasyan: PM is lying. We never met on such occasion and never spoke anything like that. He should provide proof or he'll get sued for defamation "for his lies". https://factor.am/216
