Fun for Congress

The Tea Party is having fun – if you believe the nonsense circulating on Facebook.

Seems Republicans are preparing to play games with an alleged Benghazi investigation.

What’s to investigate?  Was there absolute knowledge there was to be an attack?  Was there anything that could have been done?  Guess the investigation will disclose it.

Of course, it will also ensure that even less gets done this year than has been done in the past few years.  Anything to see that the people’s work is NOT done.

The Tea Party: America upended – do nothing beyond talk; gain power; destroy the nation; declare the other party to be at fault – or the establishment Republicans to be obstructionists.

But this would be chain-of-command stuff.  The White House is not routinely informed about minor policing of embassy grounds.  Nor should it be.

The apparent situation is that a clown  named Harold Watson "Trey" Gowdy is being considered as Chairman of a newly formed Committee to investigate Benghazi. What questions do you want Trey Gowdy to ask the Obama White House?

The 49 year-old Gowdy is an attorney who Represents South Carolina's 4th congressional district apparently introduced the ENFORCE the Law Act of 2014 (H.R. 4138; 113th Congress) into the House.  The bill would give the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate both the standing to sue the President of the United States in a federal district court to clarify a federal law (seek a declaratory judgment) in the event that the executive branch is not enforcing the law.  Basically the idea is to tie the President up in court in a manner which will make him prove he is enforcing the law to the satisfaction of whoever wishes to yell that he isn’t.

The problem with laws like this is, the party promoting them assumes it will never be in a position to be subject to them.  In this case, the Tea Party seems to assume it will never have someone in the White House.  This would be the case if it assumes it will acquire power – but will not be subject to the Constitution.  That gets us into the realm of Death Over Life … America will fall … Washington DC will fall – because it represents Babylon the great city, and the Tea Party represents pure evil.

But we shall not be concerned with that.  November election will determine if the people of America would like their nation to come to an end.  If they do, than 2015 will provide the evidence.
