re: #174 Bagua

What significance do the procedural details have? No one has alleged that the panel make laws or is permanent.

No but you initially linked to a New York Daily News article titled: Obama’s bogus blue-ribbon oil spill panel has no expertise - and is poised to do his bidding. Regardless, I think many are predicting an outcome from this commission before they even finalized a report. Not only that but it’s predicting an outcome or response from the president based on a non-existent report.
