Watching slow death of the Republic
We are in the midst of a quiet coup. The presidency continues to leech power from Congress, and Congress continues to allow and even enable it. I'm not talking about only the current president. I'm talking about the presidency, period.
Congress has unconstitutionally delegated so much power to federal agencies, most of which answer to the president, that the president can make law without Congress.
That situation is a bloodless coup. Not a coup against a party, leader, or government, but a coup against you, me, and the constitution through which we are meant to govern ourselves. Pay attention - we are witnessing the slow death of the Republic.
