JOHN: I HOPE YOU GREW A PAIR OVERNIGHT, FOR GAWD'S SAKE:

House Speaker John Boehner

House Speaker John Boehner fired off a scathing statement following news that the president intends to jam through a recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

“This is an extraordinary and entirely unprecedented power grab by President Obama that defies centuries of practice and the legal advice of his own Justice Department," Boehner said. "The precedent that would be set by this cavalier action would have a devastating effect on the checks and balances that are enshrined in our Constitution."

Republicans had blocked Cordray's appointment last month, and Boehner said the president's flouting their action could face legal challenges.

“This position had not been filled for one reason: The agency it heads is bad for jobs and bad for the economy. It’s clear the president would rather trample our system of separation of powers than work with Republicans to move the country forward. This action goes beyond the president’s authority, and I expect the courts will find the appointment to be illegitimate.”

YOU CAN TELL POLITICO IS LEFT-LEANING BY ITS COMMENTS AFTER THE ARTICLE.


If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
