Get ready for more Un-American Activities Committee hearings by actual authentic un-Americans.Call this an extension of Obama’s #47Traitors meme accusing the other branch of government of treason for opposing him. That’s usually a charge made by dictators, but a near majority of Democrats support Obama governing unilaterally, so here we come.Now the charge, as usual made by anonymous officials, is that Israel spied on Obama’s talks with Iran… for Congress.

The latest “middle ground” proposal comes from Rep. Mike Pence (R., Ind.).
