A liberal senator on Wednesday questioned President Barack Obama's policy "czars" after the senior advisers have taken heat mostly from Republican lawmakers.
Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) sent a letter to the president requesting the White House release information regarding the "roles and responsibilities" of the "czars." The Senate Judiciary Committee member also requested that the president's legal advisers prepare a "judgment" on the "czars'" constitutionality.
Feingold's letter represents one of the first examples of Democratic scrutiny of the president's "czars," who are not required to be confirmed by the Senate.
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), who has been absent from the Senate since experiencing health issues, also expressed skepticism of Obama's use of policy "czars" in February.

The question: Who are the members of the Progressive Socialist Central Planning Committee?

...just a rat sham. They can't look like they don't know anything anymore. Sooner or later they had to respond, claiming race is the issue is not going to fly this time.
I suspect the average DEM is has been calling and asking questions and demanding answers too.......

Obumah’s sinking ship has the DemonRats scrambling to get off. As the water rises and deck space narrows they will begin to attack and feed on each other. This is great news!
Pass the popcorn please.

The rats are starting to try to save their own hides. I've been wondering how long it would take before the Dims in Congress starting realizing that Obamalamadingdong is pulling them all down the drain with him. Obama has set them up to take the fall for "his" plans. I think they are finally starting to get a clue.....

The Senate realizes their power is dwindling as the usurpers in the executive branch seize all power. We screwed up when we didn’t raise hell when he began appointing hoards of them. Typical Alinsky tactics. Method of mass confusion and overwhelming the public with many things at once, all the while, installing nearly 50 Czars.
