Czar-Struck

From Kleiman.
There are now 100 co-sponsors (99 of them Republicans) for a bill that purports to forbid paying the salaries of “any task force, council, or similar office which is established by or at the direction of the President and headed by an individual who has been inappropriately appointed to such position (on other than an interim basis), without the advice and consent of the Senate.”
To review:

If there is a Republican president, the unitary executive theory is true; the president wields kingly powers.

If there is a Democratic president, he is not entitled to even the ordinary powers of the presidency.

I mean, can it really be the word 'czar' that is setting these people off? Is it possible that their thinking is that superficial?

I swear, every day I try to think of something good to say about the GOP...and every day, these dangerously stupid buffoons make it impossible.

The Washington Republicans have abandoned all self-restraint with respect to power. They will do or say whatever they have to to gain or hold power.

Double standards? They emphatically want those that serve them.

They have abandoned the golden rule as even a small part of their morality. The hierarchy defines what is moral, not any reasoned principles. At the top of the hierarchy? Narcissists whose conversations with god just happen to give them exactly what they want, uh, what they deserve!
