Obama's regulatory power? "I think that's one of many tactics that will be used," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told me in an interview on the last day of the 111th Congress.
"We've got several bills -- I've got one the REINS Act, which would force any regulation that costs over $100 million to come back to Congress for approval," Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) told me Wednesday. "There's several other things. We're looking at ways to do that, either through oversight, but it's clearly out of control and I think what the FCC's done has gotten everyone alarmed that they're ignoring the courts and the Congress there in the administration."
Earlier this year, Republican leaders endorsed REINS (Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny) which, if passed and signed, would give them much broader authority over the rule-making and regulatory process.
Oh and for all those YA Libs preaching a new sense of compromise maybe you should read the words of your side's own predictions before you get too carried away:
"The next two years I expect all their actions to be campaign oriented.... They're all about messaging, they're all about power, they're all about politics. What they don't seem to be concerned about is governing."
