This means that anyone appointed by the President must be submitted to the Senate for a thorough vetting. This is a CHECK against the Executive BRANCH that allows the Senate to check for any improprieties in the nominees’ career and life. This was established by the Framers of the Constitution to ensure that the Executive Branch would not overreach in its authority. Is this the law you were thinking, I mean not thinking, of? Yes, I did. I did not like it then nor do I like it now. It's the pres's way of avoiding the people and the laws/restraints we have put on the office. Every pres wants more power than the last and this is a concrete example of how they sidestep our constitution. |

Strikes me as overly cumbersome to have every person who works in an administration be confirmed in congressional hearings. Were Scooter Libby or David Addington subject to such scrutiny? Sufficient that they answer to people who were pulicly vetted and those people will be held to account for any misdeeds.

I don't recall reading any objections regarding the last group's czars. Only this one's.
Czars are mid level functionaries of the executive branch, and I reiterate that Congress has no business vetting hires by the executive branch.

You and I must be on "ignore" with some of these folks... I've said it and you've said it...Congress passes the money out... No cash? No sales! Some folks still don't get it... Where are ALL the special prosecutors for the banking failures? There aren't any and there won't be...'cause over half the current members of Congress are up to their own eyeballs with guilt on the way the ecomony took a dump...and they helped it along...and in the process, they made some cash on the side... Some day...the folks will pay attention...but I'm not holding my breathe...how 'bout you?

Jolly Roger:
"Van Jones was thrown under the bus simply because of an old video showing him calling the Rrs a bad name at a time Obama does not need any distractions, so they fired him." Not according to the spokesperson for the Dear Leader! Not according to Mr. Jones! "Van Jones has stated he disavowed his communist views years ago, and like many, it was all a product of his youth at the time." Which communist views did he disavow and when? How youthful was Van Jones from September 1994-December 2002, seven years ago? Here are a published account of some of the Van Jones "communist views" along with the racist, sexist, classist, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist and other views he holds. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/10717234/Reclaiming-Revolution-history-summation-and-lessons-from-the-work-of-STORM |

I think it is like our love for conspiracy theories. Blame a small cabal of people and when they are gone, problems are gone. The other way to fix it is to watch closely who we send to congress and what they do when they are in congress. That takes too much effort. But the political parties made it simple. If you like liberal policies, vote for the Dems. If you like conservative policies, vote for the Reps. Results are the same either way.
