Reid is a practicing Mormon. For Mormons, the worst person you can be is a Son of Perdition. From all that I can see, Reid fills the bill based on his behavior as a government figure!

In Mormon theology

Main article: Son of perdition (Mormonism)
“Son of perdition” is also a phrase used in Mormonism to describe a person who will not take part in the glory of God in the afterlife. This is in contrast to the vast majority of people, who will receive a “kingdom of glory” after the Final Judgment, and enter into one of three degrees of glory after the resurrection: Celestial, Terrestrial, or Telestial Kingdoms.

I have only one thing to say of Nevada and Reid. The Silver state has taken their 30 pieces and sold out not only their soul, their believes, but their prinsables for them 30 pieces. Nevada democrats & independents that voted for Reid don’t deserve freedom.

And it all it cost was his honor.

Reid has no honor, nor ever did. In fact no one in the Dem Party has any.

Harry is the reason I will not got to Las Vegas this year.

Obama said not to go to Vegas.

Harry is an idiot.

Those who voted for him are even dumber.

Indeed, it has blank-check power to write the rules it wants to enforce. Worse, it cannot be reined in by Congress, because Dodd-Frank gave it a self-funding mechanism. It can simply take up to 12 percent of the Federal Reserve's operating expenses to do whatever it wants. The power of Congress is ultimately the power of the purse. But in their finite wisdom, Democratic lawmakers gelded themselves. They also insulated the rogue agency from the courts, requiring that judges defer to the CFPB's legal theories.

So we have two radical departures from time honored constitutional governance: (1) funding of a government agency by a quasi-government agency which has the ability to generate its own money almost at will; (2) a substitution of not just rule-making powers for legislative functions but article 3 judicial powers for the functions of the judiciary to interpret them and test their constitutionality.

Where is there any check or balance, where is there any separation of powers, where is there congressional oversight, where is there judicial review?

It is unfortunate that Jonah does not elaborate on his assertions made in the quoted paragraph above for they are far more important than his bitch slapping Sen. Reed, no matter how well deserved or gratifying.
