Warren an anti-business far leftist
October 08, 2010 | 12:22 PM
Elizabeth Warren is openly hostile to the industries she will now be in charge of. Her appointment to this role was demanded by the far left, and Obama acquiesced by violating the spirit of the constitution by exploiting a technicality. The person wielding the power she has is supposed to be congressionally confirmed. Even if Obama were to use another "recess appointment" that would have more precedent than what he has done.
This is exactly the kind of cheating and far left agenda that is startling people away from Obama. Even with commanding leads in both houses of congress, he knows this lady is radioactive and would not get confirmed. So he does an end-run.
That would not be admirable from either a republican or a democrat. Democrats should stop defending behaviors like this if they want to retain legitimacy. Obama has assessed that healing his rift with the far left is more important than being seen as someone who sidesteps the spirit of the Constitution. The man is a constitutional scholar, he knows that this is wrong.
