CALL THEM:Senate plans cloture vote to give Obama more power today

RRD:In a despicable betrayal of the voters who sent them to stop Obama,not give him more power( one which makes you wonder why we sent these scum to Washington) ,the Senate plans a cloture vote on a bill to make it easier for Obama's nominations to sail through the Senate.The vote is expected to take place today or tomorrow.This outrage is co-sponsored by seven Republicans: Lamar Alexander, Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Mike Johanns, Jon Kyl, Richard Lugar, and Mitch McConnell.
No that is not a misprint.After everything we have endured,after one of Obama's advisors--Harold Koh--tells him that the Libyan war does not fall under the war powers act,since we are "not engaged in hostilities",after the rebuke of the American People in the 2010 election,these fools want to give Obama more power.Call your Senator.(Since this See below:

....."Today, Chuck Schumer, with the help of Mitch McConnell and Lamar Alexander, plans to vitiate one of the Senate’s few remaining constitutional duties; advising and consenting to presidential appointees. The Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act (S.679), which was never reported out of a committee, would eliminate the confirmation requirement for 200 presidential appointees. This bill would completely abrogate the safeguards against tyranny that were established in the “Appointments Clause” of the constitution. [The Heritage Foundation has a useful primer on the bill.] The bill has seven Republican co -sponsors: Lamar Alexander, Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Mike Johanns, Jon Kyl, Richard Lugar, and Mitch McConnell."...
.." The Senate is scheduled to hold the first cloture vote on S.679 later this evening or on Wednesday"....
