Seriously though, this government is behaving as if checks, balances and alternating parties are past history and nothing now stands in the way of permanent power. The likes of Graham and McConnell lead me to think the separate party facade would be dropped as soon as our right to bear arms is somehow nullified (hopefully never).
Been reading Thomas Sowell and Mark Levin with a backload of others to get to. Will add those you mentioned. Stay good!
(they're robbing a bank...)
And you are spot on about checks, balances, and alternating parties being past history. They have seen there are no ramifications to simply ignoring them. So they are emboldened.
Love Sowell's work!
