The jaw drops a little farther. Jerry Taylor:

Congress has delegated so much power to the executive branch that the old rules we learned in high-school civics are now null and void. Those old rules, remember, held that the legislature made laws and the president executed laws. Now, Congress routinely delegates massive amounts of broad law-making authority to the president in order to avoid responsibility for anything.

Meanwhile: Palin-Santelli 2012! I kid you not. With extra starbursts!
