Woman Asks Why Obama Being Allowed to Create "Czars"; Shouts of "He's a Communist" Ring Out at Town Hall - Video 8/26/09
Here is video from California Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy holding a Town Hall Meeting in Bakersfield where he was asked why the Congress was allowing President Obama to create all the "Czars" he is creating. Just before he answered there were shouts from the audience of "He's a communist!"
McCarthy answered the question by saying he did not believe Obama had the right to appoint these "Czars" AND give them powers that encroach on the "Checks and Balances" the Constitution requires.

So, Mr. Republican McCarthy, if it's unconstitutional for Obama to be doing what he is doing, and you took an oath to uphold the constitution,then what are you waiting for?
Ball's in your court...er, maybe that isn't the right way to put it. After all, the GOP is bereft of balls.
They're going to do NOTHING.
The GOP is so gutless it's beyond pathetic.
The question is "What can he do"?
The answer is "Nothing" until the republicans take back the House and Senate. Then they can hold impeachment hearings.
Vince - you are absolutely correct!
Anon re: Mr.Republican McCarthy and the oath he took, and ALL the members of CONgress took as well, as did every member of SCOTUS --
We effectively have NO Constitution since these 544 members of our government laid down and played dead for the past year over the eligibilty of the fraudulent usurper currently residing in the People's House.
It would have taken 1 member of the House and 1 member of the SINate to stand up and ask for proof of eligibilty BEFORE they certified the electoral college or if 1 of the eligibility cases brought before SCOTUS had been heard before that event, we would not be having this nonsense today.
Anon re: republicans regaining the majority and impeachment hearings -
1. Why on earth would anyone vote for the worthless republicans in hopes of saving the union? As Vince stated above, they have been gutless.
There is plenty they could have done and much more they could currently do to stop this fiasco.
McCarthy said he does not believe the czars are constitutional. Why in the hell has he, and any others who believe that to be true, not been screaming it from the rooftops? Why have they not been on Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin and writing pieces for Human Events or Townhall and informing Americans of what is going on? Why do they wait for a citizen to ask the question at a town hall meeting instead of being in the fore front on the issue?
2. Impeachment hearings? First off, there is no need to impeach an illegal pres__ent. He simply needs to be removed in disgrace for the fraud that he is.
Second, we saw how effective a republican majority in the sInate can be in 1998. Nuff said.
Almost under his breath, McCarthy said "you'll see legislation come back when we go forward". It's already been proposed - HR3226 The Czar Accountability and Reform Act of 2009. If you google it, type in the entire title; there are other bills (state, etc) with the same number. You can read the text and see which members of Congress have already signed it at Free Republic. We need to spread the word and keep on Congress to get it passed.
A close friend of mine personally attended this town hall event. When exiting another woman asked Mr. McCarthy if he plans to keep his oath to defend the constitution.
.... Mr. McCarthy avoided answering her question.
THIS!!!! my friends is the real problem! Our Congress has lost their ability to assure integrity is kept when it comes to their oath!!!
There are 6 issues making the U.S. UNsustainable!!! See my blog:
