Apparently, members of Congress aren't that upset over the prospect of an Obama
dictatorship after all. On Friday, while no one was watching, Barack Obama
signed a bill into law that gives the him, and future presidents, the power to
make a broad range of appointments and unilaterally install federal judges onto
the bench, without "the advice and consent" of the United States Senate.

The Senate actually passed the bill, which was sponsored by Senator Charles
Schumer (D-NY), in 2011 and shockingly, the Republican-controlled House passed
the bill by a wide bi-partisan margin of 261-116 in July. |
