"Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest-serving Democratic senator, is criticizing President Obama's appointment of White House "czars" to oversee federal policy, saying these executive positions amount to a power grab by the executive branch...
Obama faces a decision as early as next week on whether to support a claim of executive privilege made by former President Bush in refusing to allow Karl Rove, the former deputy White House chief of staff, to be deposed by the House Judiciary Committee on the White House's role in the 2006 firing of nine U.S. attorneys."

Two thirds of Sen. Byrd's state, West Virginia, voted for Hillary but he endorsed Obama. Maybe he's having second thoughts. I'm glad he is warning of an executive power grab, but I fear it's too late to do anything about it. Get ready for Bush Redux. raunchydog
