More than half the battle is waking the public up to the fact that government is a necessary EVIL. It is not inherently "good," as the government would have you think. It is dishonest, duplicitous, heartless, and often wromg. It is lazy and incompetenet, and should be kept small as possible for many reasons.

This "checks and balances" thing is useless when all three branches are aligned in self-serving. Sure, they battle each other for power - power over the public.

Never lose sight that the courts are hostile to the right to keep and bear arms. That tells you all you need to know about how the ENTIRE government views the public. Us vs. them baby.

I agree. Even if Nunes forces the FISA court to appoint an “Advocate” who is not a leftist fanatic, what real power would that person/office have?
