    > Congress hasn't been neutered It has. Congress' job is to pass laws and give the executive laws to execute. When the executive is suspending the constitution, kidnapping people and sending them into slavery in foreign countries, engaging in open graft (let's be honest about what the Trump crypto coin is), it's their job to hold him to account. Just because a majority of congress is cooperating with suspension of the Constitution doesn't mean the everything is above board and legal. Congress has been neutered by the political party that has captured it.

      I didn't say it was above board or legal, I said that the executive hadn’t neutered Congress, the GOP in both rhe executive and legislative branches is working together, hand in glove, on the same totalitarian scheme against the Constitution. The parts that are being done through sole executive action are a strategy.
