Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) sharply criticized Senate Republicans Friday for blocking President Barack Obama's nominees to head government agencies.

"It is the legislative equivalent to an arsonist having set a fire and objecting to a building’s inhabitants using the fire exit," Frank writes in an op-ed for The Washington Post.

While Frank notes that the Republicans' ability to object to the independence of the consumer agency is "entirely legitimate," he does disagree with what he sees as a misuse of power.

"Senate Republicans are not entitled to use the confirmation power as a bludgeon to get their way when they cannot do so through the normal legislative process," Frank writes.

1. We all see it and I* am sure Barney sees it too...

Republicans are terrorists/ Recist, arrogant, hateful domestic terrorists, and they don't give a damn about it either. They get their pocket money, their benefits. They are truly the scum of the earth as we know it.
