The "Mooter" the Better

{link » Making Congress Moot}

“Still, most of the administration's executive truculence has pertained to national security, where the case for broad prerogatives, although not as powerful as the administration supposes, is at least arguable. With the automakers, however, executive branch overreaching now extends to the essence of domestic policy — spending — and traduces a core constitutional principle, the separation of powers.”
 — George F. Will

“It's not ‘Constitution shredding’ by definition, asshole, unless you're quoting the majority opinion of the SCOTUS.”
 — TheBigHenry

I am not happy about the President's bailout of the domestic auto-industry either (see Begging — with Attitude!). But now that Congress has transformed itself into The Theater of the Absurd, making Congress moot has become de rigueur.
