Time to Pull In the REINS on Executive Power?
by Rich MunyExpressing disapproval with some Obama administration actions, many on the right — and some on the left — are complaining that the executive branch wields far too much power. Similarly, when President George W. Bush was in power, many on the left — and some on the right — complained that the executive branch wielded far too much power. Seeing this bipartisan concern for unbridled expansion of presidential power and wishing to start restoring the office to its Constitutional limits, Congressman Geoff Davis (R-KY) has introduced the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act.
The REINS Act would require Congressional authorization for any new Major Rule proposed by the executive branch. It now has now has 57 cosponsors, including noted Constitutionalist Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX). It also enjoys the support of the Chamber of Commerce. Under REINS, the numerous proposed regulations pertaining to health care, climate change, energy, financial regulation, and our economy would have to be submitted to Congress for approval. REINS would continue to allow the executive agencies charged with writing rules to propose draft rules, but would end the delegation of Congressional authority that has enabled these agencies to enact them unilaterally.
Our Founding Fathers recognized the pitfalls of an all-powerful chief executive. Fearing tyranny, our nation did not even have a president until 1789, preferring instead strong states, a weak Congress operating under the auspices of the Articles of Confederation, and no executive branch at all. As this proved to be too weak for national cohesiveness, our founders drafted the Constitution to provide the nation with three co-equal branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. All three were to operate within the limits defined by the Constitution.
Our founders took great care in limiting presidential power. Presidential power is limited to the powers granted by Article II of the Constitution. As further protection against tyranny, our founders created a system where the president is chosen by the Electoral College rather than via direct election. This was partly to keep the president from exceeding the authority granted by the Constitution by claiming a popular mandate. The Constitutional system kept presidential power largely in check (temporary wartime expansions under President Lincoln and President Wilson being very notable exceptions) until the election of President Franklin Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt greatly expanded the power of both the presidency and the entire federal government. He was the first president to submit legislation directly to Congress. When much of this was overturned by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional, FDR reacted by bullying the Court with threats to pack it with New Deal supporters. Once the Court started upholding New Deal legislation, FDR used this green light to expand the office of the presidency well beyond its Constitutional bounds, shifting federal power from Congress and the Supreme Court to the executive branch in the process. Most presidents since FDR have sought to further expand the power of the office.
President Obama has continued this expansion of executive power. He has given a great amount of power to unelected bureaucrats within the executive branch and has then, in effect, created law via the regulatory process. No Congressional approval was sought for any of these actions.
Congress is finally fighting back. When introducing the REINS Act, Congressman Davis shared this disturbing information:
Last year, the federal government issued 3,316 new rules and regulations. That is roughly 1.6 rules per working hour or 12.8 rules per working day! In many instances, federal rules impose substantial compliance costs on individuals, businesses, and State and local governments. Rules with at least $100 million of annual compliance cost or effect on the economy are classified as “Major Rules.” In 2009, federal agencies issued 78 Major Rules.
The regulatory process has increasingly ceded power to unelected bureaucrats for major decisions that can affect all Americans. Take for example the Democrats’ government takeover of health care. This poorly drafted legislation repeatedly requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create regulations in areas ranging from what is required for “qualifying health plans” to the determination and disclosure of nutritional information for standard menu items in restaurants.
The American people agree. In February, a CNN poll found that 56% of Americans believe the federal government is so large that it threatens the freedoms of ordinary citizens. It is time for Congress to assert its Constitutional role in federal governance.

Well, Gee Willakers, Beaver! How's the "messiah" going to get anything done if Government starts working like it's supposed to?
*(Another great article, Rich!)
What part of Obama is a Communist do people not understand?
Amen…. Hallelujah, where do We The People Sign? What are we waiting for? Let's get the ball rolling!
And this would require obama's signature to become law? What are the chances Hugobama would sign away any of his ill-gotten power?
Is it me? Or does oblahma look creepy in that photo? Just asking!
Under the current leadership in congress, this will never happen. It's quite the opposite and I believe we will see more moves by the Marxist despot towards grabbing more power before it is all over.
I'm going to have to call you on your Ron P. being a "Constitutional" guy??!??!
He's a Fiscal Liberal with Libertarian Social tendencies – who then "says" the right thing ever two years to get re-elected. He's load bills he KNOWS will pass with pork for his district – then votes "against" it so he can "claim" he's a fiscal conservative – and get a better non-pork voting record.
The rest of the article is great, but don't let ol' RP fool you too.
Thanks!
It' about time Congress starts speaking up for the Constitutional balance of power.
I am frighted for the future of our children is these people are not stopped and replaced in the next 2 election cycles. I think this is one on the reasons for not sealing our borders and the push for amnesty by both parties. Eventually the only way the people will be able to take their country back is by revolution and we would not stand a chance against our own armed forces and the MSM. Obama would make Chavez look like a dove if he was ever given absolute power over the people of the USA.
Agreed….and great article!
How would be go about restoring balance to the universe, or at least to Washington. FDR created the expansion almost 100 years ago, how can we go back in and fix it? "It is time for Congress to assert its Constitutional role in federal governance." Congress is the problem, and we think they are going to fix it?
It's about time! I was beginning to wonder why we even both to elect members to congress. They don't listen to the voters. They don't write most of the bills. They don't read the legislation, anyway.
I've got a dog that can do that!
I completely disagree. I think Obama should have more power. In fact he should have so much power that we no longer need elections, freedom of expression, right to bear arms, and free exercise of religion. Maybe then "We the little people" will come to understand the undeniable greatness of our dear leader – then and only then – will our nation truly be healed from our mistakes of the past.
If you believe I believe this you are in need of medical attention from a mental health professional. You see we are nation of free people, and as tough as it is to earn the respect and vote of those people, when it happens, we call that LEADERSHIP. Obama will never have that, save some drastic intervention by either his conscience or God.
I, many of my fellow Americans, would love a Congress full of Dogs, that would be far better then the blind monkeys we have hitting the yea or nay button when ever they are fed the right amount of bananas!
Time to pull in the reins on executive power?
Personally, I believe it is time we got a NEW Chief Executive and shit canned the clown currently running the show.
Most of it………
This gives me hope for the future, but this puppet will do the non grata "veto." Crime, Inc.
Did you steal that first quote from someone at MSNBC?
I wonder how long until there is violence in America? Violence like we've never seen before. With all the anti-American Politicians in office there is going to be a breaking point if things continue. Things like, (Obama being against the States) he is (supposed to be protecting), things like Cap & Trade to raise your taxes while Obama let's the gulf be destroyed. After all it works for his agenda. I have to wonder if these Politicians think they are going to get away with destroying America with a smirk on their face. Don't they know that people know where they live also? And at some point there could be a real breaking point. Janet Napolitano right now is doing her best to ensure they keep stepping on our freedoms. Hey just look what she's doing to her home state of AZ.
Yes he does. It looks like he's performing the Jedi Mind Trick.
"These are not the Czars you are looking for."
Darth Obozo…
"Congress is the problem, and we think they are going to fix it?"
No way. Even the Founding Fathers didn't believe that. Their answer to the problem was to divide the powers among competing branches of government. It's not a perfect solution, especially if all power resides with one party, but we will soon correct that little problem. This legislation would just restrict some of the centralized power out of the executive branch. It's a good start to a very big problem.
I'd just as soon never see another photo or hear him the rest of my life….please just stop posting pics of him in articles…they have a nauseating effect on a whole lot of us….lol
REINS makes too much sense….Do ya think there are many that will vote for
sensible legislation? lol…..
U.S. Constitution, Article I.
Section 1, clause 1
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the
United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
———————————————————————————————————–
The Constitution ONLY grants power to CONGRESS to make the laws and absolutely no one else. The way it is now, its totally un-Constitutional because we have dozens of executive agencies making the laws (regulations that have the force of laws to be exact) — such as the EPA, the IRS, and FDA just to name a few.
These agencies need to go away all together, but in the meantime this proposed legislation would at least slow the bureaucrats down. No one can possibly know what the law is anymore and if anyone tells you they know what the law is they are lying.
Congress doesn't even read the bills, Congress doesn't know what the law is and the are the ones charged with making the laws.
If Congress itself doesn't know what the law is, what possible hope does the average citizen have of knowing the laws? The average citizen doesn't have dozens of paid and waiting Philadelphia lawyers on the other end of their speed-dial, like Congress does. It's all out of control.
Obama will have to bring in the Mexican military and Nato troops to quell the violence, or more likely he will tell them to just shoot as many Americans as they can.
No sir. But can't you picture the pinko commie times or Maddow pushing it live and in black and white? Actually, this gives men an idea, when we repeal and replace the "kill your grandma bill" from Obama and his Democrats, we need to have the "ambien and anti-depressent clause" for liberals who will be off the wall batty at the prospect of so much freedom and individual responsibility
Your vision is 20-20 from here.
I submitted the column to Digg.com. If you like the column, you can vote for it at http://digg.com/political_opinion/Time_to_Pull_In...
Indeed. But it is a sad day when we have to pass a law to remind us to follow the Constitution! If Congress actually performed its duties as mandated, this would all be unnecessary in the first place. Our world is upside down and this is just one more piece of evidence of that.
lmao
i am sorry, but we need to rein all branches of federal power. the court see's things never written in the constitution, congress and senate think the commerce clause allows them to regulate everything, and the whitehouse thinks el presidente for life rules us all. the whole bunch need a good ass kicking. we the people need to introduce our role in government, and remind them we are supposed to be in control of ourself.
Cowboy, hang in there, we are coming to the rescue to shoot the hang mans noose off the American people in the nick of time. You and I are on our horses, our ballots are loaded and our aim will be true! Hell, we can't lose, we're Americans!
I was being sarcastic but I think that Ed Shultz and Chris Mathews have both made comments of how Obama needs to be me more dictatorial.
Until we squeeze that stinking turd out of the oval orifice our economy will continue to be constipated.
Cool thanks!
I have always thought he looked creepy in all of his photos.
And yet there is Congress writing yet another piece of legislation to "rein" in this Criminal in Chief. We already have the guidelines for Executive Branch over-reach……it's called the Constitution. How 'bout we uphold the institutions already in place? Enough already with the grandstanding!!!!!
The U.S. military will not fire on the American people, of that I'm 100% certain. The union backed police force… I believe they would.
This can't happen soon enough.
It needs an enema.
Good point. His veto can be over-ridden by Congress (which is precisely what you'd expect to happen with this type of bill), but I fear there is a profound lack of political will in either the House or Senate for such a bold political move right now. After November? Maybe.

So was I. In our humor there is the unfortunate kernel of truth.
You know what. It already has. All that is left is the paperwork. This guy has proven himself combat ineffective as President and we are wise to it. You can't take the tapestry of America, walk all over it, use it as toilet paper and then ask America to like you. That tapestry must be handled with the greatest of care and love because the history of the world has shown that a world without that America is a dangerous and terrible place that future generations of human beings, not just Americans, will suffer immeasurable harm without.
Looks like he is trying to pinch a loaf.
That is the beauty of our Constitution (well, one of them, anyway). All our nations mistakes are indelibly recorded there for posterity so that we might later see where we went wrong and correct it.
First, we must all acknowledge and agree that the New Deal WAS a mistake. Until we do that, nothing will ever be fixed. Departing from Constitutional Law and relying on case law was another major pivot point in our decline. That, also, needs to be rectified.
The power needs to be taken back by the States. Our founders believed government power should be held close to the people. State and local government have the power to react to the needs of it's population in a timely fashion, not so with the federal government. Case in point, the gulf spill and cleanup.
How do we take power back from Washington? The solution to that problem has to be the States. State governments have to find the strength to refuse federal funding and reject federal mandates. Very shortly they will have to do so in order to save themselves from the lefty states like California, Illinois, New York, etc.
A good first step is the repeal of the 17th amendment so the U.S. Senators become responsible to the states instead of whatever PAC or Lobby pays the most in bribes. After that we can remove all federal funding of non-government organizations. If you remove the funding the corruption will die. Very few of these lefty activists are motivated by the cause. Most are motivated by public dollars.
OP misses the primary problem. The ONLY arbiter of Federal Power, is the Federal Government itself. Once the Senate became popularly elected, AND once the Federal Government decided that you could not sue the Government itself for not dong its job, then we the people lost control.
Once you have a Congress, and President, working on an agenda, there is no longer anything there to stop it.
Heck, look at the UnConstitutional mandate in Healthcare… its there, everyone knows it, States are trying to sue, but it sure does not seem to be going anywhere…. AND it will ultimatly be decided by a Supreme Court, which is CHOSEN by those same politicians…
We need a Mechanism for our Right to Petition for Redress… but notice there just isn't one? Heck, no one can even seem to get standing to look at the President's Birth Cert! (leaving aside the validity of the question, its a travesty that no one can even ask their Government that question in any meaningfull way).
After November I will be expecting many more bills like this one to pass in Congress. That obama will veto anything that restores sanity to government is a foregone conclusion. But at least we will have him on record acting against the interests of the American People.
From Kagans paper on executive authority :
Congress designates an agency official as a decisionmaker, the President
himself may step into that official's shoes
Congress either has not taken or
(more rarely) could not take that power away. In addition, and critically,
the President may have what Peter Strauss and Cass Sunstein
have called "procedural" supervisory authority over administrative officers,
enabling the President to demand information from and engage
in consultation with them.Congress usually has done nothing to
suggest that it wishes to interfere with this authority as to executive
branch agencies; 310 and even if Congress has indicated this intent as to
the independents, Article II of the Constitution, most notably its Opinions
Clause, may bar Congress from such interference. 311 This proce-
For many years, political scientists and other observers of government
agreed that once Congress made these delegationsit could not,
or at the least did not, exercise any effective control over administrative
policymaking.21 Adherents to this view pointed to the rarity ofability to revise statutory mandates, reverse administrative decisions,cut agency budgets, block presidential nominees, or even conduct serious
oversight hearings. These scholars noted as well the widespread
lack of knowledge and interest among memmembers of Congress, evident
in repeated surveys and actual cases, regarding obviously important
administrative decisions.
"I accordingly close this Article by considering how courts attuned
to the benefits of presidential administration could adjust important
doctrines of administrative law – the nondelegation doctrine and
two judicial review doctrines – to promote this mechanism of bureaucratic
control in its most beneficial form and appropriate scope.
Yep. The smell Olberdork is all over that first part!
Maybe if they started penciling in some slanted eyebrows or pointy ears or something. Either that or use some of those cool animations you see in cartoons.
Once saw a game of baseball in which,…….
there were about 8 errors committed by both teams,…
very sloppy nine innings of baseball to be sure,…………
so we all shouted and heckled all sorts of things,……. but nine of us shouted,……
to change the rules of the game.
The Constitution has it all folks.
If something has to change,….let it be,….
the ignorance of the American people that allowed this situation.
Cowboy, please use the term A$$ Clown. Need a shot of Office Space on this Monday. We need control of the Senate and House to impeach. Then you're stuck with Joe Biden. On second thought I'll take just plain stupid over Marxist any day.
"The American people agree. In February, a CNN poll found that 56% of Americans believe the federal government is so large that it threatens the freedoms of ordinary citizens. It is time for Congress to assert its Constitutional role in federal governance."
Bear in mind that survey was for the federal government as a whole, not just the presidency. The people rightly fear an overreaching Congress, too, especially when there is a president who abets their worst instincts, rather than exercising his veto power to check them.
Also, when the Left complained about a too-powerful executive, they were usually whining about Bush acting within his constitutional powers under Article II. The secret communications surveillance of terrorist calls exposed (criminally) by the NYT was wholly legal under the President's powers as commander-in-chief, since intelligence is a vital military function in war. The Left's complaining wasn't so much about a grasping executive as it was a petty, partisan attempt to weaken a president of the other party.
Getting back to the REINS act, the real problem is that Congress has been too willing to cede portions of its power to technocrats, a bad habit the progressives began and encouraged. This bill sounds like a good start at reversing that trend.
\”But at least we will have him on record acting against the interests of the American People. \”
There is that to be said for it…and that is good, as far as it goes. The concern that comes to my mind is that this is just one more in a series of distractions to draw our attention away from something that they don't want the American public to notice until it's too late to object. We all need to be on high alert for dirty tricks between now and November.
And all God's people said, "AMEN!"
"including noted Constitutionalist Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)"
Ron Paul has the same limited respect for the Constitution that most Democrats do.
Anything he endorses should automatically be suspected, and if he does like this his support should be downplayed so as not to scare off rational people.
If we got rid of every department and program not covered in the Constitution the federal budget would drop to about 15% of what it is now. Or less.
Bailouts or government takeovers?

I say pull the plug.
Well put. My fear, however, is that these vermin have infested evey facet of government and society, and it will take more than two elections to clean house. We need to purge the Progressives out of the GOP or we'll still be going down the road to serfdom, just a a slower speed. The destination will still be the same. We have to stop and turn around, and I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Different topic (sorta). Why is nobody reporting that a piece of our sovereign territory is being occupied by an armed foreign force? I understand that it's a drug cartel holding a piece of a national park but they're still armed Mexican nationals. How does this not constitute an invasion by a foreign nation?
What would happen if a group of American citizens decided to invade Mexico and occupy their territory?
Wasn't one of the initial reasons for the formation of the federal government to prevent and or respond to just such an occurrence?
I don't much care how you feel about SB 1070. I think we should all be able to rally around repelling an invasion.
It's going to take a Diamond Reo pumper to flush this one out.
Done.
“The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.”
~~ Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Exactly!!
So, in so many words, we're screwed.
Excellent comments. I agree completely. I've always said the only way to defeat the beast of out of control government is to starve it. That is, defund it. The same is true for non-government organizations. If you haven't seen it, planned parenthood, who received 2.6 Billion dollars in federal funding, can't account for hundreds of millions of that money. It's totally outrageous that they receive even one dime in federal funds. But being unable to account for those funds is one more reason they must be defunded.
We don't need this law. More grandstanding by the people we elected to follow our constitution. They don't have the stones to do what they are legally obligated to do to stop this run away govt and BHO so they pass a law they know will never be enforced ( If you can't enforce the constitution already…)
I believe you are right, some might, but most won't. But I think someone like Obama would not think twice about bringing foreign military or Nato troops, and they would. And I am sure union backed troops would not think twice about it.
If the past year is any indicator, Sanity, we won't have to look too long or hard. Lame Duck outrageous bills will be so IN YOUR FACE we'd have to be on another PLANET to miss them. Look at what they're willin to let us see them doing BEFORE the elections, lol.
I think Biden would be too afraid to emulate Obombus if The Won was impeached.
And thus will the New America rise from the ashes that the Won has tried to turn her into.
Oh hell yeh, Deuse,
This is a project our GRANDCHILDREN will have to finish for us. But if we never start….blah blah
The American spirit is alive and well as seen in these comments. We are awake, alert, vigilant, reading our Constitution, and many books: such as The Five Thousand Year Leap, the Bible, the Bill of Rights, Original Intent, The Real George Washington, Atlas Shrugged, Common Sense by Glenn Beck (fabulous), (Hannity's) Road to Victory, and many, many more GREAT books. Get to know the original founders' documents yourself. Google "original source" history documents and READ them. You MUST read these documents to be well informed. We have been lied to for many years: first by public schools, then the media. The jig is up. The"socialist plan" was to take over the Democratic Party, and they did it. Socialism is just the first step to actual communism; they have been stealthily infiltrating our government, our universities, our high schools, community colleges, media, and we were all asleep. Now Jim Wallis, self-professed communist (PBS interview) is trying the takeover of the churches through leftist poverty guilt talk through the "deconstructed" emergent church. "Social justice" = communism, people! Reject it soundly. Reading and sharing is the key, following by VOTING ALL SOCIALIST LOOTERS OUT!!!!
Lookin at the chain of command
Lose Obama, get Biden.
Lose Biden…O.M.G…..Pelosi.
Fryin pan>>>>to FIRE>>>>>>to AT LEAST THREE RINGS OF HELL.
Yeh, no scheme by dems on THAT ONE .
pretty much, yes.
She goes on to argue…
I suggest, that is, that most statutes granting discretion to executive branch – but not independent
- agency officials should be read as leaving ultimate decisionmaking
authority in the hands of the President. This rule of statutory
construction appropriately derives from an effort to determine
congressional intent as well as, given some uncertainty in doing so, an
effort to promote good lawmaking practices.<<<<<<
They are attempting to move Overton's Window to the Left as far as possible. They present you with the outrageous so that when they offer you their real position, it seems reasonable by comparison. The net effect, *they hope, is to actually move the window to their desired position.
I am prayerful that the American people will be wise enough to actually see all of this for what it is and reject it. Let the Constitution be our anchor in the troubled seas of world events. Without it, we will be swept wherever the waves take us… which is usually crushed to splinters on some reef.
Let's keep an eye on Congresman Issa. He's alreafdy drafting the subpeonas.
The power grab by the Presidency goes back for several administrations, but this administration has taken it to new levels. This thing comes just in time and embodies the essence of the Tea Party. Bravo. Now, let's see who opposes it and run them out of town.
By the way, the acronym is delicious. I just wish they could have worked in something like "Forver Unrepresented" to use in the acronym.
Fred
He's trying to do the "live long and prosper" thing, but he's not coordinated enough to splay his fingers.
dont get to exited congress just wants to transfer the power to them not the people.
Take the Snake of Liberty to your breast, Obama.
It is time for you to ……….
.
This article misidentifies the problem, which is pretty usual for most people. The problem isn't the power that Obama has, he (and every president) was handed that power by a congress that exceeded it's authority by passing laws to regulate things it has not authority to regulate. If congress doesn't want a strong executive then they should repeal and stop passing laws that allow the executive branch to control things the federal government has no business controlling. Of course that would never happen because it would require congress to give up it's power to pass laws controlling the country. Congress is a legislative branch, it's only function is to pass laws. The executive is the implementor of said laws. Put the blame where it is due.
It all gets back to the same thing; whenever you create some power so that you can control people you oppose you are creating a power that they can use against you as soon as your group gets voted out and their group gets voted in. How about if everyone stops trying to control others? It's the only safe bet.
Pelosi , as a member of Congress can be expelled. Thats the procedure.
Yep and amputate Obama from office
BUT, thats Kagan's interpretation and is that the interpretaion of other Supreme Court Judges?
I think they're not getting the "boot on the throat" part because they haven't experienced it personally…yet. Some folks just can't learn by observation. They have to learn from experience. They're easy to spot…just look for the ones with all the Band-Aids on their fingers!
I found this quote that I might send to Obama:
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and
independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could, and
should, do for themselves.
Rev. William J.H. Boetcker, 1916.
Unfortunately this administration is doing the exact opposite…
Oh I know, peony,
I've just been reading so many "impeach Obama" comments that I wanted to point out it only goes downhill from there till November and beyond, lol.
Also have you noticed over the years that it's FAR EASIER to launch an impeachment proceeding of a president than to expel or even "impeach" or the congressional equivalent a SPEAKER? In my lifetime two presidents have come within a hair's breadth of impeachment….but no speaker, no matter how awful has ever been expelled or even threatened with prosecution. Wow.
Truth is — most Americans due to their public "education" couldn't define the word Communist. It's pretty hard to spot them when you don't know what they are or what they do.
Constitution smonstitution I don't really thing the ideolog and chief really cares. He owe's way too many favors and made way too many promises (Everthing to everbody) to stop trying even if the house and senate aren't playing anymore. The Progressive's made the mistake of waking up the voters to get THE CHOSEN ONE elected, I'm just sorry that the conservatives and Independents didn't wake up in time to stop it. The "I HATE BUSH" bit really worked for them but now it's gloves off for whoever sits in the oval office and it's their own doing. Come Nov. the Progressive's will climb back under thier rock and conspire for another day. They will abandon THE CHOSEN ONE (Already have) to flail about until 2012. Then He and Jimmy (YOU SUCK) Carter can sit back on MSNBC and discuss presidential strategy, or as I like to call it Monday morning leadership!
That's the look of a person trying to act more impressive than he really is….
We need to start drug testing these people. Just reading that made my head hurt. What a nutcase.
Then it's about time we demand they start the process. Like I said above, Congressman Issa is the man who can initiate this.
The representives we elect are so lacking, most of them should be expelled and dumped into a Louisiana swamp. That goes for Obama too.
JohnK told me about Issa.
…gotta LOVE HIM. Seems to be one of the few in congress who actually READ HIS JOB DESCRIPTION. Good luck to him!
Wow. Just listening to Fox and Senator Kyle from Arizona said that Obama told him "that if we secure the borders, then the people will not vote for comprehensive immigration reform" Holding the people hostage!!
The problem with getting rid of Obama is that that doofus Biden is next in line and after him Darth Vader Pelosi. How in the h–l did we get to this point?
