13. Forward this to Pelosi and Reid
Jonathan Turley, Lawyer and Constitutional Scholar, speaking on Keith Olbermann's show on June 19, with regard to the Congress reining in this rogue pResident:


Regarding our AWOL Congress:

They've got to put something behind their rhetoric. They have to start to get tough, and to start withholding funds, withholding confirmations, using those powers that the Framers gave them to protect their own institution.


Among the politically disillusioned are both Democrats and Republicans, not to mention Independents. The Democrats can shape up, do what they were elected to do, and possibly create an eleventh-hour coalition of the disillusioned. Or...they can continue to dance with corporate interests and see a horse of a different color take birth in America. And they, the Dems, should not smugly assume that only they will sit in the saddle. We the People can choose which horse to ride!
