This is yet another example of the continued erosion of Separation of Powers. At this rate the Constitution will become an anachronism in my lifetime. If it hasn't already.

That we did not see the language of "co-equal" branches of government "become common" until about 1910s. Before then we see all this language from people like Henry Clay and John C. FRICKIN Calhoun emphasizing Congress is the supreme branch of government.

Everything is anachronistic and this okay.

How do we care for our neighbor? The strangers and non-strangers is how we will find out if we are okay or not.

Yes. And also, morally correct fionwe1987 - 14/09/2021 10:55:26 PM 308 Views
Morally correct would have been going public with invoking the 25th Amendment damookster - 14/09/2021 11:08:45 PM 285 Views
Right, because that was going to actually make any kind of difference. fionwe1987 - 15/09/2021 01:06:38 AM 282 Views

I dunno if we're disagreeing, so much as talking about different things fionwe1987 - 15/09/2021 03:09:03 PM 283 Views
I'd certainly think "countermanding the CiC and giving top secret intel" would count as treason. TyrReborn - 15/09/2021 09:36:49 PM 287 Views
