House Republicans say theyre proud of their 2013 campaign to stymie President Obamas regulatory agenda, even as Congress comes under fire for one of its least productive years.

So, enough of the bullshit.. quit hiding behind your stupid lies.

(1,486 posts)Most people in this country know next to nothing about the executive agency rulemaking authority, appointment power, and other aspects of the administrative state. Hence the freakout over czars, "dictator" nonsense, and so on.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of people think what's ordinary authority is actually grounds for impeachment.
