In a bit of rank hypocrisy reminiscent of then Senator Empty Suit railing against increasing the debt ceiling, Slimeball Senator Reid used rolling sessions to make sure that then President Bush could not utilize recess appointments to get around his thuggary.
So, now that rolling sessions or the same variety were in use to keep the Senate in session for the exact same purpose; specifically, to keep the Moron-in-Chief from making recess appointments, what does that socialist do?
Make recess appointments.
Much like the whining and sniveling of our local fringe-leftist nutburger about the issue of cloiture, on the left, where situational ethics rules the day, when THEY can use these parlamentary tools, it's all well and good. It's only bad when the Republicans do it, you see.
Can you even begin to imagine the outrage of these same fringers if Bush II had done the same during his tenure?
So, where's the leftist anger at this abuse? That there isn't any is the thing.
This goes to the heart of why, more and more, people hate their government... but also speaks to the fact that indeed, we do have the government we deserve.
Obama is a Constitutional attorney, he'll win this one. (Which is good for all future presidents because appointment deadlock is counterproductive.)
ReplyDeleteLike he'll win on ObamaCare?
ReplyDeleteThat he's a "Constitutional Lawyer" in now way makes him either competent or infallible.
We will see.
