WASHINGTON – Rep. Henry A. Waxman, whose legislative record has made him one of the country’s most influential liberal lawmakers for four decades, announced Thursday that he will retire from his Westside seat, the latest in a wave of departures that is remaking the state’s long-stable congressional delegation.

What's coming?
Are you suggesting the Republicans will not aid, abet and support this upcoming this country killing amnesty?
Lets hear it.
Justice must find all these Free-America-hating traitors...eventually.
Very insightful ...
Good. Then he can spend his millions on plastic surgery so he won’t scare the horses.
I don’t have the link handy on my smartphone, but see the last line of George Will’s column today on the Oklahoma Obamacare suit ..
But don't expect his seat to go Republican.
In fact, expect another barking moonbat.
This only means something if we can oust Boehner, McConnell and all other establishment RINOs

George Will’s column...see last couple lines...
“Notrildumbass is going back to his crypt.”
LOL. I have always referred to him as Nostrildamus myself.
Here’s how it works. You leave your job when a better job comes along or when you’re at a high point. He knows it won’t get any better in the House for Dems so he’s going to feather his nest with a lucrative apoointment somewhere. I guarantee in a few weeks he’ll be somewhere in DC doing something for his master.
Thanks!
Indeed and it will be big.
Yes, and to spell things out a little more explicitly (ref the last part of George Will’s piece linked to above) with Obama’s much expanded use of EO’s the Congress can either rubber stamp what he wants, or complain when he does something by fiat.
IOW Congress is just relegated to being a very expensive debating society. With no real power. THAT will be consolidated in the Executive Branch.
By dispensing subsidies through federal exchanges, the IRS will spend tax revenues without congressional authorization. And by enforcing the employer mandate in states that have only federal exchanges, it will collect taxes — remember, Chief Justice John Roberts saved the ACA by declaring that the penalty enforcing the mandate is really just a tax on the act of not purchasing insurance — without congressional authorization.Yes, yes, but why would congress critters stand up and cheer their own demise???If the IRS can do neither, it cannot impose penalties on employers who fail to offer ACA-approved insurance to employees.
If the IRS can do both, Congress can disband because it has become peripheral to American governance.
‘Bout time!
Because, as David Horowitz (I think) once said, the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
In this case, Horowitz’s comment can be interpreted as the end goals of Progressivism. Waxman probably cares very little for his own personal power, for power’s own sake. He does care about how he can use that power to advance his agenda and ideology, in service to his cause. And Congress is increasingly irrelevant - by intent/design - in doing so.
So like I said, the Exec Branch is now the place where the agendas will be advanced. It’s admittedly much cleaner way of operating. All strong executives, ones with the ability to rule by fiat (EO) are. Congressional power was a useful tool, but it was also very messy and unpredictable ..
Is that it?
The “so they think” part is about where I’m at. Getting them out of DC where regular folks can get a krack at them is a good thing. After being traiterous thugs for a few decades they all might wind up in Bimini or some such hidey hole since they can’t bring their DC security home with them. There needs to be some serious retribution for these dirtbagz that have spent us into such a hole.
Hopefully....the massive political defeat of the Democrat Party & POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! And....please do not associate me with “any” Republican RINOs or establishment types. I cannot stand them, McCain, Romney, Graham, McConnell Cornyn, Christie, etc., etc.!!! I am not a Republican.....I am a conservative, and have been such my entire life!!!
Where do they go to get their reputations back, Mr. Waxman?????
