#1 Byrd said such positions "can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances. At the worst, White House staff have taken direction and control of programmatic areas that are the statutory responsibility of Senate-confirmed officials."

Never saw it coming did you Senator?

#5 As much as I'd like to embrace a Democratic senator rebelling against the god-king, I'm afraid it's far more likely that the honorable senator's seeing an old nightmare on his side of the mirror that walks like a president. Something he used to look at through holes cut in a white sheet.

Even mirrorball nothingburgers have racist enemies.
