[@sofakingrad3530]

When you watch enough of these you will realize that all of these corrupt people never answer a question directly. They know that there is only two minutes and they are trying to run out the clock. They always say stuff that doesn't matter and if pushed they will simply say "I will take that back to my staff and circle back with you".Or like with the FBI, CIA, and DOJ "I am not going to answer that because it is under investigation." That means that they are not investigating it and simply waiting for the clock to run out in four years. That is why congressmen always ask yes or no questions because if they answer directly, you know they are not corrupt and have nothing to hide. If they don't answer directly they are all hiding something like a $2.5 million home that the taxpayers paid for. But at least you said both sides so you are starting to wake up to how corrupt both sides are.

Wow... This yapping chihuahua was totally disgraceful, making a mockery of what is supposed to be a hearing with a witness by acting like an immature bully who just keeps yelling over and interrupting people. This is what passes as an elected official these days?!?

These agencies can only do what Congress delegates. Unless the agency beurocrats choose their own opinions. In that case, Congress approval is not necessary.

Boebert, like Jordan refuses to let witnesses answer questions.

[@Neufertful]

I agree on that. I clarify, I am an outsider, I'm not American, but what is the point of asking questions and not having answers? From any political side this should not happen

[@StoryGordon]

@@Neufertful - Good question.The point is to make an assertion which sets up a question then not allow it to be answered so the assertion, which is false, is what remains.

[@onetonson1754]

Mercy.... the Senator never let's the lady speak... we want people to answer questions but when individuals try to answer the questions given interrupting then doesn't solve the issue... the Senator from Colorado needs to cool her heels.... I yield back...

[@orvilletowner2503]

How's it feel

[@gonzo1168]

Boebert wasn't interested in her blathering inane nonsense and wasting the time that she (Boebert) was allotted to be able to ask questions to a specific point and purpose. The witness had already made false statements about agencies not overstepping their authority and was continuing to try and defend these agencies and waste time despite Rep. Boebert trying to redirect the conversation back to the questions she had initially asked. That is how these agencies remain free to overstep their authority and strip citizens of their freedoms -- not being held accountable. The sooner people like you realize this, the more freedoms we as citizens will retain.

[@joec1360]

She's a congresswoman, not a Senator. Take a civics class Einstein.

[@AntiMasonic93]

Boebert is not a senator. She is a U.S. Congresswoman from Colorado.

[@leavanwinkle1740]

How come Marge is still here too?

[@yuppiehi]

Congress has indeed given these agencies the authority to create regulations that do pack a punch (statutory) if they're broken. And there lies the problem because the POTUS whose executive branch manages these 18 or so departments and agencies use them to basically create what amounts to laws without Congress. It it legal to do so but it is clearly an abuse of these powers. Something has to be done by Congress to get this corrected but it won't because both Dems and GOP want their presidents to have these powers.

[@lennybob2602]

Thank you for this informative input

[@mccjoe01]

Actually they have expanded the meaning of Chevron defrence by abusing it. This is not what Congress had in mind for it. Also this steps all over the rule of lenity. Which is what should be applied instead of this bastardization of defrence.

[@just1normalguy1]

The witness should have gotten up and walked out. Dont ask questions and then dont shut up to allow them to answer and make assumptions and still do not listen. So at that point the witness should have just left since GOP Congress members did not want answers or allow speakers to talk,

[@Tonyoh.]

No, she just showed how unconstitutional these agencies have become. Dismantle ALL 3 letter organizations.

[@snoopboot]

@@Tonyoh. No. Factually untrue. The ATF had sufficient statutory authority from Congress to make the changes they did. There is a formal PROCESS for things like this, and if they followed the process, then there's nothing "unconstitutional" about it. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[@TheGoofygirl67]

Dreadful!

[@HelenLenox-pw6oq]

Boebert has no clue what she’s talking about. Later, Boebert walked out of the hearing, when she was justly humiliated for her ignorance. 😂

Perhaps Congress should be removing these people, who are taking it upon themselves, to change these rules, regulations, and laws, which they are unauthorized to do! Fire them! This way, you wouldn't have to worry about them, doing that again! Dah It looks like We the People, will have to make our way to DC, and show them, how it's done! This Government has gotten much too large, and it's gotten somewhat out of control! 🇺🇸

[@CDWCAULDRON]

Hear Hear, second it Congress, should take back their power and remove every one in all agency's that do not follow the law or take it upon themselves, to change these rules!

[@Dragonfly9887]

Our government has gotten way out of control to ridiculous. I don't even think half them understand how the government works. Elementary school children are more responsible, respectful, do their own homework, and can can read better than half of the people running our government.

[@payattnto]

the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the Congressional Review Act make it impossible for agencies to "take it upon themselves" to make or change regulations or laws. Moreover the APA and CRA empower Congress people like Boebert to repeal any changes in regulations or laws before they take effect. Clearly, Boebert was too stupid, lazy, or isolated in her objection to these rules, because NO ONE IN CONGRESS LIFTED A FINGER TO REPEAL THESE REGULATIONS SHE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT BEFORE THE REG TOOK EFFECT. (See my more extensive comments on how those 2 laws work. Google or wikipedia these laws so you don't mistake Boebert's ignorance for advocacy and effective representation).
