Sen. Chuck Schumer Calls Mitch McConnell Speech 'Despicable' | All In | ...


The Trump Hire List...

The trouble is that you cannot uphold the rule of law by violating the rules of the laws. You have to work within the framework of the laws. That means that as a government of, by and for the people, the people can, if they wish, vote to become a dictatorship with all that entails.

My guess is that Republican voters are thinking that they can vote whatever way they like, vote for whomever they like and the U.S. Constitution will still remain in force. They think it will protect them from; for example, bills of attainder. ( Google it)  Neither Trump nor his followers, including Republican Senators and Representatives, either know or care about what laws get enforced or not. They believe in a one sided view of power holding. Not shared responsibility to any one but their own pockets and seats.

That will mean no social security, no Medicare/Medicade. No SEC to oversee the markets and keep them free of frauds. No consumer affairs, no health and human services Department. No veterans administration. No food and drug administration, so that when you shop you are on your own in your effort to avoid dangerous products and carcinogenic food additives. Oh and don't even think about trusting banks with your money. Any well connected syncopantic political hack in favor of the leadership will have the absolute right to mess over you. Which is why Russia, as big as it is, has an economy the size of Italy.

But, in the end, this is a democracy. If enough people remain ignorant about government they can be fooled into voting to destroy the democracy, destroy the rule of law. And vote to ultimately destroy their own peace of mind and all of their rights to liberty, justice and the right to peacefully seek their own happiness.
