Sebelius in recent weeks has asked various charitable foundations, businesses executives, churches and doctors to donate money to nonprofit organizations, such as Enroll America, that are helping to implement President Obama's health care overhaul.

"soliciting donations from companies her agency might regulate"

Prima facie violation of The Hatch Act.

Circumventing the appropriations process is what got Congress all in a tizzy during Iran-Contra. I wonder if they’ll go as apoplectic now over this? /rhetorical

It’s all legal. It was in the bill, and became law when the bill was passed.

One of those things we only got to see after we “passed the bill,” as Natzi Pelosi so memorably put it.

Doesn't mean we can't have Sebelius impeached.

Impeaching Sebelius could be a warmup and practice for impeaching other Obama officials...

Maybe we need to pace theses things out, so we have time and resources to get to the bottom of each of theses problems.

That is probably the Obama strategy to get them all out now so that they don’t have to deal with them come election time.

She took lots of money in Kansas when she ran for Gov from Tiller the Killer. She is the Abortion Gov from KS.

Did I just wake up and the GOP decided to grow a set? All of a sudden the invincible Obama could be a target. Eh, call me slightly optimistic that the GOP may actually try to put up a fight, maybe they don’t want to give the “Messiah” free reign.

The TEA Party, Patriot Groups, etc, are the ones that have the fire lit under them.

There may be some in the GOP that realize they will not stay if office... ...unless they act...

Leavenworth or Lansing would be more fitting for her.
