Isn’t there something a wee bit unethical, if you can’t get something through Congress, to do the same thing by fiat? “Will of the people” and all that?

Yeah, it’s more than a wee bit unethical, but they’re Democrats. They don’t care about ethics.

They’ll establish a starting point by using most extreme of cases. That way they’ll get as many people as possible to agree it’s probably best to let the people pass away. Then they’ll apply pressure relentlessly to inch that line forward. Evil never rests.

This is plainly and simply dictatorship and it must be stopped.

Ah yes... acting with “consent of the governed.”

The people granted Congress all legislative power under the Constitution. It is an unconstitutional affront for Congress to assign the power to unelected, unaccountable little dictators.

FL recently passed a law that requires legislative approval of all proposed state agency rule and regs that could cost society more than $1 million over five years. That's right, $1 million.
