The Obama Experts vs. the Rule of Law

The Foundry  "The Founders understood that there are two fundamental ways in which government can exercise its authority. The first is a system of arbitrary rule, where the government decides how to act on an ad hoc basis, leaving decisions up to the whim of whatever official or officials happen to be in charge; the second way is to implement a system grounded in the rule of law, where legal rules are made in advance and published, binding both government and citizens and allowing the latter to know exactly what they have to do or not to do in order to avoid the coercive authority of the former."

Elizabeth Warren  My mother the czar :  "Current Position: Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ."

 President Obama picks Elizabeth Warren ... and thumbs his nose at the Senate  "Senate confirmation of the bureau's director was one of the few checks Congress built into an office that otherwise will be very powerful and independent."

Elizabeth Warren's profitable conflict of interest  "So we get one more unvetted Obama official to follow in the trail of tax cheats, shady government contractors and 9/11 truthers whom Obama has pushed into positions of public trust."
