I can't HELP IT.
AND YOU SAID WE WERE 'NUTS'
And it's Susan Collins ! Not, Kyl or Sessions, or Bunning.
No kidding. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? Those people all ACCEPT that their ideas, and their feelings are more important than the constitution and it's limits on the natural human desires of those WITH POWER. They think because they see themselves as sincere and good that this is primary and these other hindrances born of an 'imperfect document' must be circumvented so that they can achieve the ends they have in mind for the good of the people.WASH TIMES- The White House has told Congress it will reject calls for many of President Obama's policy czars to testify before Congress - a decision senators said goes against the president's promises of transparency and openness and treads on Congress' constitutional mandate to investigate the administration's actions.
Sen. Susan Collins, Maine Republican, said White House counsel Greg Craig told her in a meeting Wednesday that they will not make available any of the czars who work in the White House and don't have to go through Senate confirmation. She said he was "murky" on whether other czars outside of the White House would be allowed to come before Congress.
Miss Collins said that doesn't make sense when some of those czars are actually making policy or negotiating on behalf of Mr. Obama.
"I think Congress should be able to call the president's climate czar, Carol Browner, the energy and environment czar, to ask her about the negotiations she conducted with the automobile industry that led to very significant policy changes with regard to emissions standards," Miss Collins said at a hearing Thursday that examined the proliferation of czars.
The debate goes to the heart of weighty constitutional issues about separation of powers.
THEY ARE A DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC WITH THIS ATTITUDE, AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT...CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IT

The key phrase is BALANCE OF POWERS, not merely SEPARATION OF POWERS.
The Legislature finally seems to be waking up to the fact that when Obama does something extra-Constitutional, like forego the Legislative approval process by creating a de facto Cabinet of "Czars", he has actually stolen power from the Legislative Branch, and taken it for the Executive Branch.
In my mind, this is impeachable in itself, because, as I said, it is extra-Constitutional.
But hey, we live behind Alice's mirror these days don't we?
MADNESS !!
I'll second that, WC: "MADNESS! MADNESS!"
