Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin joined the anti-czar chorus Wednesday, asking Obama to detail the roles and responsibilities of all of the czars in his administration and to explain why he believes the use of czars is consistent with the Senate’s constitutional power to offer advice and consent on top-level executive branch officials.
“To the extent that this undercuts that role and people are put in the place of Cabinet people and really are the key authorities and you can’t question them, that’s something worth talking about,” Feingold said. “I think it’s a fair point.”
Feingold says he doesn’t know if there are any constitutional violations, but he suggested that he may hold an oversight hearing on the matter.
Although the czar charge has come mostly from the right, Feingold isn’t the only Democrat to voice concerns about the issue.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein said in an interview Wednesday that there needs to be better Senate oversight, although she was quick to add that some czar critics have incorrectly labeled a number of Senate-confirmed administration officials as White House czars.
If Commie Russ doesn't know if there are any Constitutional violations then he better borrow a copy of the U.S. Constitution from a conservative and read it. We know he doesn't have much use for the Constitution ordinarily, but I bet he can't find anything in there that authorizes an unaccountable shadow government to be put in place without the advice and consent of the Senate comprised mainly of leftist wackos who have among other things declared their undying affection for Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, called Republicans assholes and advocated the kind of population control they have in Communist China.
The fact is that most of the cabinet secretaries -- the most corrupt and meddling first lady of the 20th Century, Tiller the baby killer's favorite governor, the lapdog at defense, Tim Tax Cheat Geithner et. al. -- are bad enough, even though most of them are just for show. After all, when's the last time Mrs. Bill Clinton did anything important in her role as secretary of state? And the only thing Kathleen Sebelius is good at is standing next to Obama at press conferences looking like the perfect old hag. But the folks who really reflect The Messiah's ideology are the czars and Feingold is right: We need to know just what the hell these folks are doing and what the extent of their authority is.
