Russ Feingold: Czars have too much power
By MEREDITH SHINER | 10/6/09 4:26 PM EDT

Senator Russ Feingold has become one of the most outspoken Democratic critics of President Obama's appointment of policy czars, warning on Tuesday that these unconfirmed advisors are acquiring too much power.

Feingold, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, chaired a hearing Tuesday on czars, arguing that more work needs to be done in examining the legality of executive branch advisors who escape Senate confirmation.

"I think the public wants to know why there are people called czars," Feingold said.

TOTALLY, BLATANTLY slanted article. "Journalism" is dead. "Propaganda" is alive and well.

Thanks, TIME. You are the Pravda of today, slimebags.

Czar came from “Caesar” which was just another word for absolute ruler, king, tyrant, or dictator.

Well the whole read was a bit wordy but finally got to the point at the end which is all the American people want to know.

Who would have expected that Feingold was a racist?
