Rep. Issa has abused his power as Oversight Committee Chairman on March 5th during a hearing over the IRS. Issa was the only member of the committee that asked any questions, and would not let any other members of the committee ask questions. Issa adjourned the meeting before anyone could ask any questions. He also cut off the mic of Rep. Cummings when Cummings wanted to ask a question after Issa adjourned the hearing with the intent of silencing Cummings. This is a blatant abuse of power and Issa needs to be removed from the Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair.
Why is this important?
It is wrong that a congressman is abusing his power and trying to in affect silence other members of the oversight committee (especially if you are from the other party). This is an unprecedented move by a committee chair and should not be allowed to happen. Issa is only interested in his party's agenda and seemingly willing to do anything to oppose and silence the opposition to his and his party's ideals or agenda. Issa needs to be reprimanded and removed from the oversight committee chair.
