Balance of Powers Subverted

Two days ago, testimonies were given on Capitol Hill that should raise every American citizen's concerns about recent flagrant abuses of Presidential power. 

Michael Turley, a Georgetown University Law Professor, issued this warning: "The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the President is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the Constitutional system - he's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid."

Equally concerning is the fact that Congress isn't stopping him because his leftist sycophants in the Senate actually like what he's doing! 

Our constitutional system of checks and balances is being subverted by the Executive Branch to the point of being completely ineffectual.

Under President Barack Obama, the Executive Branch's quest for power at the expense of the other two Branches is accelerating. In fact, the administration's propensity to sidestep the Constitution is making news nearly every day now.

Earlier this week, the House Judiciary Committee called in experts on Constitutional law to assess what they are seeing as a dangerous trend. Enabled by the Democrat-controlled Senate, President Obama has successfully tilted the balance of power decidedly toward the Executive Branch.  

Among the most telling of testimonies was that of Georgetown Law Professor Jonathan Turley, who said that the Obama administration has "an undeniable pattern of circumventing Congress in the creation of new major standards, exceptions, or outright nullifications." Professor Turley added. "We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend, we also have the continued rise of a "fourth branch."

We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdictions."

The "fourth branch" of American government.

In the next 12 months, President Obama will seek to fill 50 federal judicial openings and over 180 federal agency leadership positions.  He will be stacking the courts and filling the federal agencies with ideological clones - people who have come to be known as "Obamabots."

This will, in turn, empower federal agencies to pass mandates without Congressional approval and to persecute opposing organizations and individuals, much like we've already seen with the out-of-control IRS, the NSA, the FBI, HHS, and an unbridled EPA.

 In this chilling new scenario, circumventing Congress will be the norm for the Obama administration and its ever expanding federal agencies. 

Then, if these agencies' mandates are challenged in federal court, the President will have already taken care of the judges' political orientations.  

Among the first federal courts that will be jerked hard to the Left is the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, to which the President hopes to add three judicial activists as early as next week. That court is charged with ruling on Executive Orders and other administrative matters - no wonder President Obama wants that court in his hip pocket!

As Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) said, "If we cannot go and get the court to decide the differences between the two branches, then. The imperial presidency is complete."

Harry Reid's use of the "nuclear option" is fueling this disaster. With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's "nuclear" gift to President Obama, the possibility of derailing these dangerous nominations has substantially diminished. The nuclear option removed the minority's party's ability to filibuster, rendering Senate Republicans almost helpless in trying to stop radical nominations. 

We must do everything we can to help stop Barack Obama from stacking the courts and flooding the federal agencies with his ideological clones!

Tell Harry Reid and your two Georgia senators, and other key members of the senior chamber that you oppose Reid's tyrannical actions - and the ramrodding of Obama's leftist nominees through the Senate:

We must fully expose and STOP this tyrannical, subversive activity before the Obama administration and their congressional supporters succeed in remaking the United States of America into a socialist nation!
