And if we called for the defunding of the EPA, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner would say it would not be possible, unwarranted, etc.

Reid really loves bullies or is scared of them.

Shade of Sandy Hook massacre: the illiterate drug kingpin thug, adorized Trayvon style, terrorizes the school teachers (congress) and the student body.

Read title: Obama blackmails and intimidates congress.

When is this cabbal going to stop? We cannot grade them but they can grade us and dissert on us like satan prosecutors.

Next year in Hillary Clinton... (sarc off)

Congress is clueless.

Regretably, the Politburo understands its role all too well.

Since congress isn't needed with O’Ruler calling all the shots, why not close it down? It'd save a ton of money.

We have three branches of government that are at least theoretically coequal and restrained by the constitution and bill of rights.

Then we have the regulatory agencies which are a law unto themselves. There is no bill of rights to protect you from them. The other three branches have set it up this way and are complicit in keeping it this way. It gives them a way around the constitution and gives them complete deniability.

If congress passes a law you have all kinds of noise surrounding it. You can take it to court, you can vote out the people who passed it if you don’t like it. If an agency writes a regulation, it has the force of law and there is no recourse. Take it to court? Sure, fine. They have lawyers too and an unlimited budget for litigation.

As long as the Republicans do nothing why shouldn’t Obama do this?

Heck, the Republicans in the senate rewarded Obama after he declared them in recess.

I want to be angry at Obama but I’m more angry at Republicans who do nothing while Obama legislates.

"Congress is clueless."

Congress is in on the game.

Dollars to donuts they're all invested in carbon trading schemes and can and are insider trading to their little hearts content.

Nobody is policing our Government. We have a two party system that is
supposed to police each other, we're also supposed to have a media who
does the same thing. But when the both entities fall into formation and become
complicit in covering
up the worst violations such as unconstitutional laws and mandates we're screwed

We are the informed because we seek out this information, but take into consideration
the 80% of America who does not and we have a very dangerous situation that cannot be resolved even by the voters.

Also the labels of conspiracy and racist, etc etc are helping their destruction
of the Constitution. We've become a Vogue nation of Ignorant lemmings.

"You can take it to court"

That has already happened. In 2007 SCOTUS ruled that CO2 was a pollutant, that EPA should determine the threat of CO2 and if needed regulate with the Clean Air Act.

First Bush, then Obama deferred to Congress to step up, but Congress couldn't.

Now, we are in the 2nd wave of court action. Were EPA's endangerment findings accurate and does EPA have the authority to "tailor the regulation"? The DC court of Appeals said yes, and now SCOTUS will have to rule on those questions.
