But the GOP has no balls or backbone.

Very depressing article in the WSJ. Shows how the abuse of power is ingrained in our so called leaders.

The only salutary response available to a congressional majority intent on upholding separation of powers among three equal and coordinate branches is to exercise the most basic power given to the House by the Constitution - the power of the purse, to decide how federal money will be spent through appropriations.

I went to a townhall meeting last night with Newt, this was what he said was going to happen after the new congress is seated. I'd like to see it happen but the GOP has to grow a spine. The public will be with them, until they see the RINOs talking about compromising with the regime.

This will be a recurring issue:

All house candidates must pledge that no budget measure or amendment will get their vote in committee or anywhere else unless obamacare funding (of any type) is excluded.

They must pledge that any funding for obamacare will be in a separate bill (with NO amendments that affect funding for other things), and that they will vote against such a bill once on the floor.

In this way Obamacare will be repudiated and Obama castrated once and for all.

Has his life-time health-care not just been donated to him? Would the same for cut-off salary not be done by liberals if salary was not funded by Congress? New ground here for precedent...if not salaried by the govt., not accountable to the public for actions?

a GOP-led Congress doesn't have to fund his position ?

I thought a recess appointment was good until the end of the current Congress. For example John Bolton's recess appointment as our UN ambassador.
