To my conservative friends who insist accepting Trump is a necessary price to preserving a Supreme Court majority, consider whether protecting the ideology of one branch of government is worth abandoning the proper function and very integrity of the two other co-equal branches.

Congress can:
1) Impeach/convict members of the judicial/executive.
2) Legislative over presidential veto.
3) Reorganize the courts.
Congress is immune from the Courts & President:
1) Each chamber is sovereign over its own rules.
2) Members are free to speak w/ the chamber.

He used the word “integrity” with regard to congress. That alone is enough for me to dismiss this idiot.
I maintain that 90% of what the Congress has passed as “law” since our inception has been unconstitutional.
The People want Congress to flex its muscles and put the Hillary and her co-conspiritors in prison. We are tired of soundbites.

Speaking of that, I found an image the other day that reminds me of Sessionzzzzzz.

Sessions hereforth shall be known (by me if no one else) as Sleepy Peanut.
Grool: I like that.
Funny how Congress always seems to find the power to do things we don’t want but never to find the power to do things we do want. Do we have a budget yet — and that is their job.

90%!?#$?
I will by 90% if you say post 1988. But only abut 40% for our history.
Congress has incredible power at their disposal.
Problem is, they’d rather spend their time and power to enrich themselves personally.
