Imagine, a US Attorney General who openly disobeys the law and a head of the Dept. of Homeland Security who spits in the face of congress with the statement that “We decide which laws to enforce.”

From which follows, if you're member of Congress, that the only way to exercise any check and balance on the Executive branch is simply to NEVER, EVER pass any law they like. And furthermore, to repeal with veto-proof majorities, any existing laws they like.

The easiest and quickest way would be for the house to simply cut off the money.

How can congress just sit there and watch Napolitano and Holder thumb their noses at congress and do nothing about it?

And as for the pentagon, the action being taken towards “extremest” religious groups is on the face of it religious discrimination, persecution, whatever.

That alone should have congress howling.

I am having a hard time believing our country has come to this.

The real mystery: Our high school 50 year reunion was in 1999. I came away from that day with an impression that will last for as long as I live, and that was the depth and the sincerity of my classmates religion.

Prayers and other manifestations of their religion were frequent and sincere.

Made me realize how far out of their world I am.

So how did this country ever get where it is when my generation was and is so serious about ethics and morality?

This country has a problem. It needs to be addressed immediately or we are sunk.
