Republican stonewalling on tax hikes for the very rich remains the primary obstacle to the Super Committee reaching a debt deal to restore stability to the nation’s economic future.
On the issue of raising taxes for the rich, the GOP majority in the House has defied the will of the American people, the Democratic majority in the Senate and the president.
So, it is maddening that some Democrats now want to mimic the GOP’s politics of polarization by undermining the Super Committee as it approaches its Nov. 23 deadline.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) recently introduced a bill to repeal the entire Super Committee, and the $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts that are to be made if no deal is reached. She says the committee is “illegitimate” and that it “borders on unconstitutional.”

Like rats fleeing a sinking ship!
if they make a deal, does congress have to vote on it and if so what’s the point
This is Fox news? They have sunk rather low.
Juan Williams sounds like he’s peeing his pants every time he writes or speaks.
Juan, you're an idiot! Illegally raising taxes on a small segment of taxpayers to satisfy the dumbed down constituents (and beneficiaries of the left's war on innovation and success!) will NOT fix the financial damage that Obama and the Dems have caused.
In the words of Judge Judy (a noted conservative), "beauty fades, dumb is forever"!
(The last part of that quote applies just to Democrats!)
I think Fox keeps Juan Williams on just to cater to the dumb people of the world.
Um...citizens with tar and feathers?
Juan, get a clue.

Finally! I found something that I can agree with Maxine Waters on. Like most of Harry Reid’s other ideas, this Committee is un-Constitutional.
