Byrd: Obama in power grab

the unconstitutional concept of unitary executive, but the freakin’ Senate, Democrats included, long ago stopped using their power. They became nothing more then blowhards who are so wimpy they can’t even get subpoenas enforced. They as well as the  executive power advocates, abdicated their role as a ‘check and balance’ by passing bills that destroyed the system in place. They stopped working for people and became the ATM  for the corporate bandits and the dogs of endless war.

So I have to say good luck with this argument. Has Obama said that these advisers or czars (what a term) have power over the Senate. I truly think that the Senate better stop crying about ‘checks and balance’ unless they reapeal the odious laws that gave the excutive these powers. The stupid 60% filibuster debacle, the Patriot Act, FISA, the AMFU and the committees that do nothing but grandstand, while our rights and money go out the door. Byrd is spitting in the wind.

After Obama’s stand on FISA and his recent farce with the ‘state secrets’ upholding, I doubt the DOJ is going to do anything about Rove. They are all in cahoots and all equally culpable when it comes to enforcing either the constitution or the balance of power. Bi-partisanship on this issue seems to be the order of the day not the laws. Where was the Senate on balance of power during the Bush Regime? Say Senate where’s my habeous corpus? They can’t have it both ways, they need to use the power they have and not let who’s ever in the executive be the decider. So why didn’t they?
