Thanks for the link and a good article-
From the article:
“Czardom does not sit well with Sen. Robert Byrd. Though slowed by age, the West Virginia Democrat remains vigorous in his defense of the powers ceded to the Congress by the Constitution. He said he believes czars are a slick way of governing without having to answer to Congress.
There is no constitutional requirement that czars undergo those pesky Senate confirmation hearings.
Former Rep. Ernest Istook said he doesn’t like the term czar either because it’s too Russian.”
“We could just call somebody the big boss, el jefe, head honcho, the big cheese,” he said. “My father used to refer to people as the chief cook and bottle washer.”
Istook said he believes the Obama team is using the appointment of czars to reinvent how the executive branch operates.”

I lived in OK for 7 years and have great respect for Congressman Istook.
What we need to do from this point is vigorously pursue the 10th Amendment efforts at the state level. I see that as the only way to stop the continued move to a dictatorial central government, without an armed conflict.
There is still real hope...
