Nadler doesn’t understand his job
Jerrold “The Waddler” Nadler, a New York Democrat representative, was sitting on a House Judiciary Committee hearing discussing whether the House of Representatives should impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for lying to the legislative body. Nadler interrupted the proceedings to show everyone his ample ass. It seems that he doesn’t understand the purpose of the Constitution, according to the Washington Examiner;
“The Constitution was enacted to strengthen government power to enable central government to lay taxes and to function effectively. We put limits on that through the Bill of Rights, but the Constitution was enacted for the opposite purpose,” said Nadler.
He said that after former assistant U.S. attorney and self described conservative constitutionalist Andrew McCarthy argued during his testimony that the “principal purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of government to intrude on the liberties and suppress the rights of the American people.” Nadler said he wanted to make that “historical correction” because he hears people saying the contrary and “it really bothers me.”
Yeah, no, dumbass. The Constitution was written by people who had just thrown off the yoke of an oppressive, over-bearing government. They wanted to limit the power of the government, that’s why they wrote the Constitution to narrowly define the limits of governmental power in the lives of the governed. Allow me to quote Mr. Madison from Federalist No. 51;
The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
It’s babbling morons like Nadler that have corrupted the Constitution, found words that weren’t there and twisted the meaning of the words that were there to feather his own nest and further entrench him in his cramped chair. So why do you people in New York City keep sending this idiot to work at a job that he doesn’t even understand?

Doesn’t his job involve intergalactic smuggling, employing bounty hunters and keeping hot slave girls lying around in revealing bikinis?

I was going say something about Jabba the Hut but this guy looks more a Bubba the Duplex.
FWIW, I don’t have a lot of room to maneuver here.
Just another reason to put a “like” button on these pages….
I’m thinking Nadler hasn’t seen his “nads” in very, very long time…probably why he’s forgotten he has some….unless the abundance of fat has caused them to “turtle” up, which would explain an awful lot of what this idiot is saying.
Ho. Lee. Cow. He almost makes that Webb fellow look coherent.
I am stunned by that psychobabble. Now I have a headache.
hehehehehehehehe you said Cow. hehehehehehehehe
I was speaking in Mandarin Gobbledygook.
Isn’t it spelled ‘kau’ in Mandarin Gobbledygook?
Could be. Something like this:
~~0!0~~ or ^o++o^ or (^o%o^)
Still working on it.
I just got dumber from reading his dissertation. Great, now I only have half a brain cell with which to function.
When I was a lad in school (yes, I rode my pet dinosaur to school and left him to graze in the swamp outside) – they taught that what an author said was what he meant.
Now (and for the past 30 years) college professors teach that what the author says he or she meant has no relevance to what the piece of literature means. Rather, it is what the *critics* say (or the professor says) it means – how they interpret it is how it really is.
So, in the view of the D@mn-o-crats, what Madison, Jefferson, et al said they meant by writing the Constitution is irrelevant to what it *really* means because they, the critics-who-know-more-than-you, say it means something else.
George Orwell’s nightmare has become reality.
You hit the nail on the head.
Some of our esteemed elected officials are treating the Constitution of the United States of America we all swore to protect, from all enemies, as a piece of literature.
It’s their magic carpet of power.
Sounds like this guy “gets it” on the same level that Loretta Lynch does.
Scary to hear some of the things that the “chosen ones” are saying these days…
These people have really gone full retard…never go full retard…
They go full retard because their own constituents are led to believe that everyone ELSE is a retard except their own representative or Senator.
They have job security due to the ignorance/stupidity of the average American citizen.
Actually you are both right.
The constitution was drafted and adopted after the Articles of Confederation proved they provided insufficient powers to the Federal Government in dealing with threats and challenges for the new nation both foreign and domestic.
The proximal cause was Shay’s rebellion which resulted in calls for more federal powers to deal with similar rebellions in the future. But there were hundreds of other issues the Articles had failed to provide sufficient powers to address.
It’s been reported that on your grant application, you claimed 40 Wall Street L.L.C. — which employed 28 people and had $26.8 million in annual revenues at the time — as a ‘small business,’” Mr. Nadler wrote. “Despite the federal definition of a small business as having less than $6 million in revenue, you accepted a $150,000 payout.
There’s a grain of truth in what Nadler says – but he’s using that grain of truth so deceptively that he’s being grossly misleading.
Short version: the initial government of the US after the end of the Revolutionary War was the Articles of Confederation, not the US Constitution. It had multiple serious flaws – the most serious of which was that the central government had no authority to tax or regulate interstate or intrastate commerce. The result was an absolute mess, and was de facto a government in name only. Within a short period (about 6 years after the Articles of Convention became effective in 1781) the Founding Fathers realized that a stronger Federal Union was required. This led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
The result was the Constitution, which indeed strengthened the Federal government substantially vis-a-vis the Articles of Confederation. However, it was still an exercise in limited government, and the 10th Amendment (ratified about 4 years after the basic Constitution itself) explicitly reserves all authority not explicitly granted to the Federal government to the people and the individual states.
In short: Nadler’s essentially engaging in the 2nd most effective means of lying: using the truth to mislead. Typical.
I agree with this.
He is being very misleading.
Excellent summary.
And to ask the question that must be asked of Nadler:
If the constitution started off giving the government the power to tax the serfs, why was the 16th Amendment required in 1903?
I will wait over here for the chorus of Crickets.
Because authority to levy direct taxes on income was not granted to Congress by the Constitution. At the time the SCOTUS actually interpreted the Constitution to mean effectively what it did – and did NOT – say. The theory of “penumbras and implied authorities” was held at that time by the SCOTUS to be precisely what it is: bullsh!t.
Yeah, you beat me to it (again) 😉
The Constitution as a whole is the “operators manual” for the US Government.
It would be accurate, I think, to say that the primary purpose of the Bill of Rights (not the Constitution as a whole,) is to restrain the Federal government.
Well, one can make that argument. But if one follows the Constitution as written, that argument is moot. That pesky little 10th Amendment – as part of the Bill of Rights, and thus after ratification a part of the Constitution itself – reserves any powers and authorities not specifically granted to the Federal government to the individual states and citizens.
What I was going to say, but better.
A fat turd.
“So why do you people in New York City keep sending this idiot to work at a job that he doesn’t even understand?”
Same reason people of Massachusetts re-elected a drunken, rapist, murderer every six years.
Which one?
Ted Kennedy
This Democrat politician is as big a liar, and distortionist as the rest of the Democrats.
Where’s his sedan chair and four brawny young men to lift it?
Seriously, how the f**k does he get from point A to point B?
Slowly and with great difficulty.
He has a sled, just like his twin brother Jabba.
Bottom line, he is taking the founder’s intent so out of context he might as well be lying.
His mamma is so proud of him. His high school civics teacher is contemplating suicide though.
Shitbag.
“The Constitution was enacted to strengthen government power to enable central government to lay taxes and to function effectively.” He’s 100% correct. Here, read this:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, to consolidate most power in a centralized government for the purposes of laying taxes and to function effectively, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
He’s like me, he has big bones so he’s bony. We’re big boned people. They said so on Little House on the Prairie.

He makes you look nearly anorexic.
He probably has a satellite dish up his ass, just like Cartman.
I have said this or something similar previously. If each member of Congress were to be tested on the fundamentals of the Constitution, I am confident that the Fs would be plentiful. Unfortunately, most citizens likewise don’t know much about the powers and limitations of each branch. Consequently, Congressman Phat Phuk can say whatever the hell he wants on the subject and 99.99% of the Peoples will not flinch.
But most can name the chronologically correct sequence of birth dates for the Kardashians…so there’s that.
I remember when some radical Republican wanted to introduce a rule that the language of a bill has to cite the appropriate section of the Constitution which justifies such passage.
The were branded a crazy by the Democrats. Probably racist Tea Partier as well.
It’s TV man the camera adds a couple…..hundred pounds
So how many TV cameras did he eat?
Well, how many cameras were focused on him, for Pete’s sake?
I want to hug you after reading that!
<3 <3 <3
One camera for the north side, one camera for the east side — if you want full coverage, ya gotta pay!
Inside a Congressman’s Office Bathroom
Older custodian: “Don’t pick that up!”
Trainee custodian: “But there’s a mirror on the floor right in front of the urinal. Who leaves a mirror on the floor?”
Older custodian: “Congressman Nadler. This is his bathroom. It’s the only way he can see if his pecker is pointed at the pisser.”
You forgot your friggin’ Spew Alert.
On the other hand, I was wondering where those mirrors on the men’s room floors were coming from…
Bahahahahahahahaha
Funny. Wiki says this dude got a law degree, but has never actually practiced. Just took politics route straight out. And his “milestones”, as “accomplishments” is a misuse of the term, will amaze you as to how he got into office in the first place. And they call Trump a moron? Look at this dude’s bio.
The slob has been on the public dole FOREVER. He lived off NY taxpayers exclusively for 16 years (1976-1992 NYS Assembly) and has been in the House of Representatives’ cafeteria for the past 24 years. That’s 40 years w/o a real job. (I wonder what he was doing at Columbia U during 1968, a rather interesting year there.)
Hell, this slob has Bernie beat for handouts and bum-manship!
My guess would be majoring in Political Science and/or Pre-Law, with a minor in Public Protest (or maybe vice-versa).
The fact that that was also keeping his arse out of Vietnam is entirely coincidental.
I was thinking SDS or a shit-in.
They make you think Manhattaners work super hard and work 18 hour days. This guy worked hard to fit in the seat in the cafeteria his whole life, getting free lunches for 10 people.
Just like the Senator from the same state – Fuck Nut Chuck Schumer.
As the New Yorkers would say, “Dis fuckin’ guy…”
So it “really bothers him” when someone quotes an easily-verified and thoroughly-documented historical fact. How very Larsist! Anybody who voted for this lardass liberal deserves exactly what they get.
I’m no spring chicken myself but THAT IS ONE FAT sniveling roach turd riding the gravy train at taxpayers’ expense. IMHO the U.S. Constitution and the Bill Of Rights were written and enacted to keep power-hungry sacks of roach shit like Jerrold “The Waddler” Nadler in check.
IMHO it’s time to do another hymn…
When people say being a career politician makes you Phat, this guy thought they meant Fat and didn’t realize until it was too late.
Maybe it’s time for term limits on both Houses of Congress. Maybe it’s time the SCOTUS bench was a temp job.
It’s mystified me how some of these people wouldn’t qualify for removing dead animals from a roadside, but they can repeatedly get elected to legislatures everywhere.
It’s far past time that some of these critters got their walking papers handed to them.
Congressional term limits can’t happen soon enough. Congressional perks need to go away as well.
I think if Kongressional perks and pay were limited, the terms would limit themselves.
Go for it. But as I recall, that’s been tried by several states and found to be unconstitutional for Federal elective offices.
A Constitutional Amendment only takes approval by 3/4 of both the House and Senate, then ratification by 37 states. Best of luck.
If term limits are not unconstitutional for the office of President, then how ARE they unconstitutional for the Legislature?
I know – the states pick the candidates, not the national electorate. But those states that send imbeciles like ‘Guam Will Tipover’ Johnson and that moronic bimbo – can’t remember her name (Shirley something) but her clothes are quite colorful fake tribal wear – on a recurring basis waste more tax money on them than anything else.
Because there is a Constitutional Amendment which mandates term limits for the President (22nd Amendment). There is no corresponding restriction on Congressional terms anywhere in the Constitution.
They won’t lift a finger to enact term limits. They want to keep their job security.
The lobbyists who keep them swimming in “campaign” dollars don’t want them to leave either.
Cocksucker.
Nutsack Nadler has never met an all you can eat buffet that he didn’t like…
He probably determines his road trip vacation based on Golden Corral locations.
