...the Congress is broken.
Our Founders set up a system that required a balance of powers. But the Legislature has destroyed that balance. The entire system is now collapsing around the Executive Branch.
The Congress was to be the voice of the people, chosen from their ranks. Unfortunately, they fell prey to a con-man and a demagogue. They surrendered all their powers and the justice system, within the larger system, became meaningless. The Judicial Branch was not equipped to handle the problems presented and also fell prey to the demagogue.
It would be naive to suggest that the system is still intact and working the way it was meant to work. It is broken.
We cling to the hope of the next election.
Can it be fixed?
First, we must recognize that the system that our Founders put forth in the Constitution no longer exists.
