>>> More like, it has become like that. Because of complete disregard/disrespect for the US constitution.
Which has infected every level of government.
From the president's "executive orders" every time he wants something done and congress refuses to do it, so he simply writes a new law and enacts it.
From supreme court nominees who believe more in "social justice" then interpreting the constitution which is their job, not to dole out fairness when they feel their has been an injustice done to some party.
From the do-nothing congress that simply doesn't work at all in the completely divided partisan environment they've created. No laws get passed, there is no working together for their constituents - which is their job. You can also toss in there the Republicans stone walling the supreme court nominee which has become high theater now - on both sides.
Our government is being run like a fucking game now and its infuriating and depressing all at the same time. Remember those days when the two parties would work together and pass acts and laws that were good for the country? Remember when the economy was shit and both parties worked together and solve the problems?
Yeah, I don't either.
- tracker1 11y agoIs there really a need for more/new laws? Seriously. I mean most of what congress does is budgetary and campaign fund raising... very litle effectively gets done regardless... much of what passes, does so with very little backpressure, exception to some hot-potato political issues.
