10. The main job of a Senator is to represent his constituents
While it might play into the hands of the GOP, Feingold is following what is his role as (my) Senator. If constituents are asking about the role of czars in the Obama administration, he can ignore them and not represent all the people or he can at least ask about such appointments.
Nobody gets a free ride. Feingold is chairman of the Senate Constitution Subcommittee and he is doing his job.
What answer should Obama have? That's up to him and I know that it's for perfectly good reasons as well as the appointment of czars has occurred for many administrations.
All the Obama team has to do is send Feingold a cogent response and it's checked off the list. AND it's something we can use to fight off the Republicans trying to make it an "issue".
As for people trashing Feingold, you have your heads way deep up your ass.
