Congress is not going to do it's job in this political climate and we don't have the luxury of new found proceduralism when so much is at stake. "Just elect a king then?" No, because that would be creating unaccountability where I just demonstrated it already exists. How is putting everyone's future in the hands of Joe Minchin and Mitch McConnell an improvement on that? And again with the hyperbole. Instead of kings, let's stay in reality - the accountability issue you speak of is a red herring. Environment degradation presents an existential danger. Current legal and regulatory procedures are already slow in addressing it but they could have worked (for everyone except polluting industries and their shills). Scientist agree that faster action is required. Legislative obstructionism and a new appetite for legal originalism are just more obstacles that we can't afford. All these points can be defended. You're just repeating ungrounded, abstract, Fox News, boogie man talking points without demonstrating any of them. I apologise if I caused offense, but saying that's thoughtless is not an accusation.
