The good news: Obama finally got rid of the preposterous moonbat ideologue Steven Chu as Energy Secretary.

Feds Don’t Look Good Draped in the Fifth
Joe Davidson, Washington Post Like plaids with stripes, federal employees wrapped in the Fifth Amendment don’t look good. We all have the right to wear clothes that clash, and all in this country have the right not to provide testimony that could be used against them. But when federal workers invoke that right, as Lois Lerner did at a House hearing Wednesday, it comes at a cost.

Holder, the AP, and CIA: Subpoena Subterfuge?
What did the Obama administration have to lose?
Putting the Reins on Regulatory Authority
Over the past decade or so, there has been significant growth in the powers delegated to the unelected heads of regulatory agencies, colloquially known as “czars.” At last count, the Obama Administration has amassed 45 of these positions, more than any of his predecessors and all without the accountability of elected office. The power of these agencies is essentially unchecked by any other branch of government, and they can issue any number of regulations without congressional oversight. Naturally, this presents an enormous threat to the liberty of American citizens.

Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS tax-exempt division during the now infamous period of targeting conservatives, asserted her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
