The 112th Congress opens today with a reading of the Constitution in the House of Representatives. Hopefully, the lawmakers pay special attention to Article 1, where the Founders outlined the powers of Congress. These include coining money, declaring war, and making law.

The past century or so has witnessed Congress outsource these and other powers to the Federal Reserve, the regulatory bureaucracy, the executive branch, and the courts. This is bad news for the American people, whose direct role in electing congressmen stands in contrast to their indirect role in electing presidents and approving judges—let alone their impotence to hold anonymous bureaucrats accountable. We have become more a government of, by, and for people unknown to the people.

It is just to easy for the executive to manipulate the laws, but then no one really cares. I howled about signing statements until I was blue in the face to these Retards.
