more often than not, a senate hearing is a ‘show’ for the folks back home to make them think something is really being done by these (cough) ‘public servants’

sickening.

A Democrat chasing a Democrat is that like a dog chasing his own tail. What will he do once he catches it??

Separation of powers was killed decades ago.

Congressional committees adjudicate and investigate, courts legislate, administrations legislate, administrative law judges adjudicate.

The Czars, being responsible to no one save the anointed one, being given millions of dollars outside of Congressional budget approvals and not being vetted let alone approved by Congress like Cabinet members are simply an end run around Congressional authority and the framework of the Constitution. It sure has taken Congress a long time to figure out that Barry is trying to cut them off at the knees.

The U.S. senate has a CONSTITUTION committee?

What’s THEIR main functions?

Let me guess: Finding new and innovative ways AROUND the limitatinos placed upon them by the document, and making sure the senate office building restrooms remain well-stocked with “U.S. Constitution toilet paper”.

It is about time. The horse is just about out of the barn and our lame duck congress just noticed that the government is being stolen right from under our noses. The Czars have got to go.
