We were given a Republic, if we could keep it. Sadly, we could not.
I trace the end of our republic and the beginning of the official oligarchy when SCOTUS refused to the job we give them lifetime employment for, and they would not look at Berg vs. Obama. Basically they said NO ONE in America had standing. No One.
This stuff has been depressingly, frustratingly foreseeable since then.
“they would not look at Berg vs. Obama.”
That was a stomach turner.
