Sure it can. Because "We the People" let it. We are too civilized to prevent it from happening.

In a sane society, we'd have the State legislature building surrounded by pitchforks and torches.

Nope. We go along to get along. We trust the system to work, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

This is how the Germans ended up getting to a point where loading people on boxcars seemed like a good idea...

I cannot improve on this thought.

We are digging out own grave as a country by continuing to let stuff like this pass with no outrage and no consequences.

By continuing to kick the can down the road, the final reckoning will be much worse and far uglier for everyone.
