#1 Imperial power has been defined for the Presidency. Executive orders circumvent the need for statutory authority and executive privilege and. classification power trump oversight. The court has become a place of partisans disconnected from the integrity needed to actually follow the intent of the Constitution, and Congress has devolved into self preservation and cowardly timidity. The nation is divided into red states and blue states, urban masses and middle class, and the treasury is empty, and the dole in some form goes to well over a third of the citizens. The parallel to Rome is uncanny.

#4 If Congress had any balls whatsoever they could force him to comply using the power of the purse.

Too bad Boner & Ryan punted time & time again on that option.

#7 I am pretty sure that O&Co has all the dirt on Boehner and Ryan to make them dance to his tune. They just ask, "How high, Massa?"

Yes, and if nothing else, Trump has been instrumental in flushing the worthless bastids out and belaying any remaining attogram of doubt we might have had previously.
