Would not this be a job for the Senate? I hope the Republicans do not waste this opportunity tilting at windmills. Immigration reform, money problems etc. are fa more important.

Depends on your POV, I think they are a huge concern especially since we've recently seen things like:

EPA Green House Gas Rules

Net Neutrality Rules

Re-emergence of Death Panels...

and those are just the most recent ones that come to mind. These czars advance the agendas without the rule of law, but through the exceptions to the law, that makes them more dangerous than congress. We all thought Cap N Tax was what needed to be fought, it is us...who were tilting with windmills.

Actually, the best method for Congress to restrain an overreaching executive branch is to withdraw funding from whatever they want to kill. Funding bills need to originate in the House, so this is something the House should do rather than the Senate.
