The administration is not guided by the U.S. Constitution, they're being entirely pragmatic in playing the game for positions of control. As long as the electorate doesn't give a damn about Freedom, individual rights and the Constitution, there's no way they are going to place someone in any elected position that does.
When most voters make their decision they ask, what's in it for me and the answer they come up with is driven by greed, jealousy and other emotional movements. The present admin. minimizes the amount of other peoples stuff given away and freedom taken. That's all that can be said.
Neither are most posters on FR.
