Democrats are downplaying the need for a select committee.\u00a0 They may even consider boycotting the committee. \u00a0That would be a high risk maneuver.\u00a0 It would mean that Republicans can ask questions without any input from Democrats.\u00a0 That is likely to be devastating for the administration. If Pelosi appoints highly partisan democrats, like Elijah Cummings, it has the potential to backfire. \u00a0A select committee is a whole different game. \u00a0The showboating filibuster days are over.<\/p>\n

For a long time Republicans were too terrified to challenge Obama.\u00a0 They knew the main stream media had Obama\u2019s back and they are still recovering from the backlash regarding the impeachment of Bill Clinton.\u00a0 That changed overnight. \u00a0Republicans are being criticized for not doing enough to stop Obama. \u00a0Once Boehner stepped over the line and announced the decision for form a select committee a constitutional confrontation became inevitable.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0If he appoints someone like Trey Gowdy to run this committee the Obama administration is in for stormy weather.\u00a0 Trey Gowdy is a very capable man.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trey_Gowdy<\/a><\/p>\n

One does not get selected to clerk for the South Carolina Court of Appeals and the United States District Court by accident.\u00a0 When you combine that with several years\u2019 experience as a federal prosecutor you have some very serious legal talent that cannot be ignored. Mr. Gowdy is going to ask the hard questions and he is going to demand answers.<\/p>\n

I suspect the White House knew this was coming, because that would sure explain the decision to hire W. Neil Eggleston.<\/p>\n

Boehner basically declared war on the Obama administration. \u00a0In any war, there are always casualties on both sides. \u00a0It is hard to predict where this ends, but we do know this. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Republicans have replaced the old guard with a fighting general. \u00a0That is a pretty good decision when you are preparing for battle.<\/p>\n
