Funny how it works. For eight years, Obama treated Congress like children who were beneath him. If they did not do what he wanted, well he had that pen to sign executive orders (many of which were overturned by the courts). He was the boss. He was everyone's daddy! Everyone should bow down!
But then Donald Trump became President and suddenly the same people who supported Obama's treatment of Congress were suddenly convinced that Chuck Schumer was the daddy and Nancy Pelosi was the mommy and that they had an obligation to oversee and babysit the chief executive.
The reality is that neither opinion is correct. The President is not in charge of Congress and Congress is not in charge of the Executive branch. They are co-equal branches (along with the judiciary) as set up by the constitution. You know... the document that everyone should have read to graduate from High School?

And ✔️ like him and you are the modern Federalist Government believers.
Most people don't remember this thing but I knew about it before you were born.
An education doesn't mean shit
You might not understand what I am saying about Federalist and or anti Federalist philosophy
The Anti-Federalists opposed the ratification of the 1787 U.S. Constitution because they feared that the new national government would be too powerful and thus threaten individual liberties, given the absence of a bill of rights.
Right now we are facing the same problem in 265 years later.
You really don't understand????
Government Oversight
Oversight of the executive branch is an important Congressional check on the President’s power and a balance against his or her discretion in implementing laws and making regulations.
Do you really want the President, no matter what party represents is immune from congressional Oversight
The founding fathers feared that because they wanted to be independent from the King of England 🇬🇧
Under 0linsky it was even worse than you describe. Members of the CBC were actually proudly bragging on the House floor about all of the legislative powers they were abdicating to the Executive. It was grossly sycophantic.
And there are 2 people that furiously copy and paste that do not understand the constitution after all THEY BOTH were demanding us to show the law that gave the executive branch power
They are both really this stupid
Afraid of people you support.
Jay Bratt, the Chief of the Counterintelligence at the United States Department of Justice's National Security Division, told a court in Florida on Thursday that there was real reason to fear for the safety of witnesses identified in an unredacted affidavit related to the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
Even sadder is your desperation to change the subject to this!!!!! The party of No and doing nothing who is now complaining and spreading lies about the IRS and defunding the FBI needs to buckle down and come up with a cohesive message that will turn around the erosion of the generic ballot having the D's +7 even with Biden's polls in the shitter......
Judge Reinhart’s surprising decision struck a middle course between the Justice Department, which wanted to keep the affidavit entirely under wraps as its investigation into Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents continued, and a group of news organizations, which requested that it be released in full to the public.
Warrant affidavits — which are written and sworn to by federal agents before a search takes place — contain detailed information about criminal investigations and are almost always kept under seal until charges are filed.
As part of his ruling, Judge Reinhart ordered the government to send him under seal proposed redactions to the warrant affidavit by next Thursday at noon. He said he would review the suggestions and decide if he agreed with them.
“This is going to be a considered, careful process,” Judge Reinhart said.
Alky, google Bubba’s sock drawer for precedence
LOL
A lot of people who talked about this decision were upset because it has never happened before. And the DOJ might appeal to a higher court or even The Supreme Court
Oversight of the executive branch is an important Congressional check on the President’s power and a balance against his or her discretion in implementing laws and making regulations.
They have discretion in implementing laws, Roger. That is part of their job. The Courts will determine if those implementations and any EO regulations are legitimate or out of bounds.
Congress didn't come in and stop Obama when he went too far... the Courts did.
Warrant affidavits — which are written and sworn to by federal agents before a search takes place — contain detailed information about criminal investigations and are almost always kept under seal until charges are filed.
Except when select passages are leaked the friendly media sources who will help the DOJ control the narrative.

The government leaked information about the FBI raid to reporters that it is now using in court as evidence of why the government shouldn't have to release information about the FBI raid to reporters.
Eat your heart out, Kafka.
Hey alky - google "Kafka Trap."
