note that "extreme acts" mentioned by Frum with respect to the Republicans were meant to block the growth and scope of the power of government and the "manuevers" are precedented however he wants to characterize them...

and "extreme acts" by the other side...
"creation of the CFPB itself. Normally, federal regulatory bodies have multiple commissioners, some reserved for the minority party. CFPB has only one commissioner who controls vast and hazy powers over all American finance.
As the CFPB's first head, Cordray would create precedents, define procedures -- and would do so without ever answering a question from Congress."
'Obama's decision to disregard the Senate's maneuvers and push through a Cordray recess appointment all the same -- basically telling the Senate: if you don't like, sue me.'
all unprecedented I think
who is "exteme"?
