House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) unveiled what he called the Republicans“ “policy agenda” for 2017 on Wednesday, including a plan to regain the legislative power granted to Congress in Article One of the U.S. Constitution.

“Article One,” Ryan said at a pen and pad briefing with reporters at the Capitol, “this is something that our members are very animated about because this has gotten out of control. This is about the separation of powers, about the Constitution, and wresting control away from decades of executive overreach and giving it back to Congress,” he said.

Ryan noted that President Barack Obama is not the only president to employ “executive overreach” to advance his agenda. “But this president has taken it even further than anyone before,” Ryan said. …

Too late Pauly old boy. America has received too much damage by the Kenyan while you boys have been sitting on your thumbs playing Switch.

[Seruzawa]

It’s an election year. What’s new?

[PhiloBedo]

Ryan is worried about being kicked out in the primary.

Empty words Mr. Ryan...we’ve heard them before in 2010, 2014.
We won’t be fooled again.

Way too late after handing over the store. Cantorize him.

Here's the real headline:

Feckless UniParty Republicans to Write Mean Letter if President is Tyrant

[Behind Liberal Lines]

S’yeah. Same promise they’ve made every two years since zero was elected.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Where was this for the past 8 years Paul??????

[353FMG]

Don’t tell the enemy what your plans are. But then again, what can one expect from the dumbass GoPee?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Ryan, you should have put your big boy pants on years ago.

[deadrock]

Unexpected.

[Tench_Coxe]

Why, just in time for a President Trump, which is beginning to seem more and more likely.
D.C. and Associates must be really concerned about this possibility. Heck, I caught part of Beck's radio show with some guy ranting about Trump being a dictator in waiting. Nuts.

We now know what they had on Hastert, and we suspect what they have on John Roberts. I wonder if they have something on Ryan, simply own him outright, or he’s just that much of a cuck. It might be a combination of all, plus more.

I doubt it’s about anything like that on all save Hastert. They want to do this; they’ve wanted to be liberal for a long time and have been liberal.

[SunLakesJeff]

“policy agenda for 2017” but not this year.

And, as policy, this has been, um, where since 2010?

[Olog-hai]

They didn’t get a conservative GOP president in 2012, so they couldn’t institute it back then, obviously.

They had lots of Kabuki theater to play when it came to acting like a “government shutdown” would be fatal to anyone labeled “GOP”, though.
