NEWSFLASH: I'd be happy with one simple stand in defense of the constitution... Just one..
But instead we get abuse after abuse after abuse... all to a chorus of political excuse-mongers and spin-meisters telling us how it's all a part of the "big plan" to save us by continuing to screw us over.
Take a step back and look at the state of the union.
It's dying...
Stabbing it in the chest won't save it, despite your continued pretense to the contrary.
And wagging the Hillary boogeyman to scare people into submission isn't going to cut it either. The reason the Hillary's of the world even exist, is because spineless-assed republicans can't muster enough testosterone between them to call a spade a spade.
They spend their time falling all over each other to see who can out socialist the socialists.
A pox on both their houses.
Because right now, this thing will be PERMANETLY dead within fifteen months, if Congressman Billybob is right. From what I've gathered about his resume and his experience, his confidence does not seem to be unfounded.
Since the Supreme Court cannot issue advisory opinions (again, ask the good Congressman if you do not wish to take my word for it), the only way to kill it permanently is to let it become law.
There's a difference between a principled stand and the political equivalent of Pickett's Charge.
