 merrie says: Was this what the Framers intended when they created the three branches of our government with all the checks and balances? I am no lawyer, and obviously not a Constitutional one, but it strikes me there is a problem here. And it could be very embarrassing to Mr. Obama. No doubt this is why, as Byron York points out, the mainstream media has been so reluctant to cover this story, only the WaPo and CBS chiming in at this point, although they were late to the party and relatively perfunctory. Had Bush appointed thirty-one czars outside the normal Congressional approval system the MSM would have been all over it like the proverbial wet suit, declaring a coup d’etat in the making. But, as of now, the MSM has imposed omerta. It is Labor Day weekend. We shall see what happens next week. UPDATE: Now that Van Jones has stepped, not surprisingly the NYT has commented " but without any acknowledgment that they had ignored the story. But what is interesting is that . . . . they had ignored the story. But what is interesting is that they do note (twice) that Van Jones escaped the normal Congressional vetting process. Is the Times too worried that Obama has stepped over the line and is in danger of destroying himself? Possibly. Howard Dean’s pathetic attempt on excuse Jones (he accidentally send “signed” the “truther” petition) on Fox this morning is quoted at the end of the article. Who do they expect to believe that? Howard Dean, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, defended Mr. Jones on Sunday, saying he was being penalized for not realizing what the petition he signed in 2004 was. “This guy’s a Yale-educated lawyer,” Mr. Dean ... Now in retrospect, I am thankful that DEAN never got further than he did in his bid for the POWER JOB....He should be a "postmaster".......nothing more. Good post merrie. We have all been wondering the same questions you pose, for weeks. How can this systems of checks and balances support this "bizzarre" Czar nonsence! How's this change working out for you folks? The Czars allegedly can overrule congress so on that basis, it is grounds for impeachment. |
