History will record, (IMHO), that the current US House Republican Leadership failed for four long years to defend the US Constitution and implement the Constitutional Checks and Balances that they were given stewardship of.
Thus, the pathway has been cleared for all future incompetent wanna-be dictators that are elected to the White House to continue the Fundamental Transformation of the United States of America that has given Obama such progressively enjoyable, and EASY counterculture success.
The soft underbelly of the US Federal Government is now obvious to all: There is no effective penalty to those who violate the US Constitution, IF Federal politicians simply refuse to employ Constitutional Checks and Balances.
I call these current US House Republicans Leaders, and those House Members who keep the current House Leaders in power, DOORMAT Republicans. History will not be so kind - - - - .
Graewoulf,
I am in total agreement with you.
