Steny Hoyer: Votes against Capitolism

CNSNews.com - Hoyer: ‘I Don’t Know’ Where Obama Got Legal Authority for Auto Plan

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told CNSNews.com on Tuesday that he does not know where President Barack Obama gained legal authority to oversee a restructuring of General Motors and Chrysler. But if authority is a question, he said, then Congress will grant it to the administration.

Is there anything Steny will not grant Obama???

I sincerely doubt it. Hoyer and sycophants like him are helping to turn the United States of America into a Dictatorship. If Obama says it then we will vote for it. That seems to be the basic idea behind how this government is working these days.

The Hopey-Change some Americans voted for is a big change allright, Itis taking a free America and changing it into a Socialist America.

Congress is not authorized to delegate that authority.

That's pretty much the change they wanted

And that is where Republicans are obligated, as the loyal opposition, to stand up and ask, long and loud, "Is this Constitutional?"

Where is the congressional authority to oversee a restructuring of Gneeral Motor and/or Chrysler, or to grant the president that authority.


Larry, you're 100% correct - this needs to be questioned by everyone (not just Republicans).

And the Democrats will reply, "The Founding Fathers never could have seen this coming and it is something that has to be done."

OR

"We have to be able to bypass Constitutional restrictions for this crisis."

OR

"it's a living document that needs to evolve with the times."

OR

"Constitution Schmonstitution "

And then you say, louder, we ALL took an oath to defend the Constitution. If you make up out of thin air a rationale for ignoring it then you tear the whole thing apart and our very reason for existing.

An oath means nothing when it comes to trying to get re elected.
