Story here. Senator Wicker objects to Cordray's recess appointment, explaining:
"It is an affront to the democratic checks and balances as established by our Founders, and it constitutes a gross violation of precedent set by those who have come before us."
But because Senator Wicker joined the Republican letter refusing to confirm any nominee to the directorship of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unless structural changes were made in the Bureau, we can infer that he doesn't think it's an affront to the democratic checks and balances established by our Founders for senators to refuse to confirm a nominee for a position that Congress has created because of reasons that have nothing to do with the nominee. Never mind that that letter was unprecedented.
Incidentally, Senator Wicker is up for re-election this year, and commercial banks are the eleventh largest contributor to his campaign (measured by industry), according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Miscellaneous Finance is right behind at number twelve.
having privilege to be attached in this kind of blog will give me understanding to some issues and concern in my community.
