I’ve used that term as well (see: http://theconstitutionalalamo.com/2009/06/02/obama-chooses-an-apparatchik-to-dismantle-gm/ ), but an apparatchik by definition is one without knowledge of a certain field being placed into a position of power there merely because of his loyalty to the party. Sunstein has philosophical expertise in behavioral economics and regulation, so he would be more of an overlord than an apparatchik. Now GM, that’s another story...
As to the unfortunate ends of the Czars, I will refrain from saying something trite like “One can only hope.” But... well... politicially, I hope they meet the revolutionary masses.
I am really stunned by the passivity of everyone here. It’s like a game and you laugh around counting the points. Are we going to do something about that tyranny or...not? And when soon we will not be able to write a post like this one, then we will talk about what...what we missed and why we did not act faster? If we still have the right to do so.
I am really stunned but the apathy. Just in case you don’t understand - tea parties won’t do it. The One does not care AT ALL of what you think!!! Sorry to break the news to you.
The guy up there is following his agenda by the letter and everything he wants passes without any opposition. AND IT IS ALMOST TOO LATE already!!!
2012? You wish! an election tzar and Acorn will solve that last problem and they will be there for life. TOO LATE VERY SOON. You guns are useless right now (but for self defense) and if you need them to defend your country, that will be the proof that it IS too late to save America.
Why are we letting this guy do so many UNconstitutional moves without attacking him through the court system?
That’s the only way...of course if we still have honest judges but most of what he is doing is either treason - or fascism or dealing with the enemy in time of war or so Unconstitutional moves that SOMEONE, somewhere should be able to stop him LEGALLY don’t you think? So where are the filings in court???
A new outrageous tzar - we blog - and another outrageous and dangerous tzar - and we blog again...
Someone said on that thread..Oh..they don’t have much power..Oh yes? Are you SURE OF THAT??? Obama does have all the power and the tzars ARE HIS ARMY so THEY HAVE POWER!!! Since no one has guts anymore in Congress and seems not to care at all anymore about our great country and us, who will stop that power but US - We The People?
SO WHERE ARE YOU CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYERS??? The one who are not in love with Obama...WHERE ARE YOU??? What are you waiting for???
God help America, please God help us...
The Auto Czar had the power of life and death over thousands of car dealers, and chose death for those who were too Republican in their campaign contributions. He also destroyed the equity of millions of dollars in bonds, gave GM and Chrysler away to Obama's UAW buddies and decided which brands would continue.
Sure seems like making policy to me.
And, again, technically Sunstein will not be a “czar.” He will have real, far-reaching power, and it is a threat to free speech everywhere.
