White House Boasts of Obama 

Power Grabs 

as Congress Funds Them:

EXCERPT:
"As Americans recoiled in horror while U.S. lawmakers sheepishly complained and supposedly worked to rein in the Obama administration’s increasingly outrageous usurpation of Congress’ constitutional legislative authority, the White House was releasing a video again boasting of the president’s ongoing unconstitutional plots to bypass the legislature and rule by decree."

Senators Mark Udall and Ted Cruz pressed Vice Admiral Michael Rogers during the hearing, pushing for an assurance that he would seek to end bulk phone records collection. Of course, it was not forthcoming:

OBAMA NSA NOMINEE, 
VICE ADMIRAL MICHAEL ROGERS 
DEFENDS MASS SURVEILLANCE OF AMERICANS;
RELUCTANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS;
PLEADS IGNORANCE OF THE JOB:
QUOTE: 
"I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN 
AN ABILITY TO MAKE QUERIES 
OF PHONE RECORDS:
EXCERPT:
"Rogers essentially defended the NSA’s programs and said the status quo should be maintained.
“I believe that we need to maintain an ability to make queries of phone records in a way that is agile and provides results in a timely fashion. Being able to quickly review phone connections associated with terrorists to assess whether a network exists is critical.” he stated.
Rogers added that the most difficult task he faces is to convince Americans the government has their best interests at heart."

OBAMA'S SURGEON GENERAL CHOICE: 
GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE:
SEE: 
EXCERPT:
"Dr. Vivek Hallegere Murthy, the man Obama wants to be America’s next Surgeon General, is a rabid anti-Second Amendment ideologue who believes firearms ownership is a public health issue. Murthy is the president and co-founder of Doctors for America, an organization that melds healthcare and support for gun control legislation."

NRA Opposes Confirmation of Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General:

SEE: 
EXCERPT:
"The National Rifle Association strongly opposes the confirmation of Vivek Hallegere Murthy, M.D., M.B.A., as United States Surgeon General. 
The Surgeon General has the important tasks of providing the American public with information to better inform decisions related to their health and directing much of the federal government's public health efforts. In order for these roles to be carried out effectively, the public must trust that the Surgeon General's actions are based on empirical and scientific evidence, rather than political or ideological motives. In this regard, Dr. Murthy's record of political activism in support of radical gun control measures raises significant concerns about his ability to objectively examine issues pertinent to America's 100 million firearm owners and the likelihood he would use the office of Surgeon General to further his preexisting campaign against gun ownership."
