[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1395920, member: 1132"] I respectfully disagree. When Congress misuses a tool given to them by The People, then that tool needs to be taken away from them before they do further harm. Matches are tools, but you still don't let children play with them. I concede that the fault lies with Congress and their failure to understand their place in governing the nation. Most of them need to go back to grade school, so they can re-learn exactly what they're supposed to be doing, rather than what they can get away with. Congress was never intended to fix every problem or ill in this country, yet a large percentage of them think that's exactly what they're there for. They've fallen in love with themselves and exaggerated their worth to this country, which is all out of proportion to their real mission. They can't see the forest for the trees. Partisanship has all but destroyed this country. We now view everything through the myopic filters of right vs. left and haves vs. have nots. Nothing is judged by how it impacts the country as a whole. Judges rule based on their "values" and the decisions of other judges, rather than what the rulebook says. Look at almost every decision SCOTUS makes. Everyone knows exactly how each judge will rule based on their politics. Why else are so many of the verdicts a 5/4 split? Some of the mental gymnastics they perform to justify their position are tragic comedy gold. The articles of impeachment are all but worthless. You couldn't kick a federal judge off the bench for being a complete embicile and failing to perform their duties as charged if you tried. Case in point, pretty much all of the 9th Circuit judges. Think I'm wrong? Only 6 federal judges have EVER been removed! Hell, Alcee Hastings got kicked off the bench and he just switched branches and moved into Congress! This country is in dire straits and all we can manage to do is squabble about which side is winning. There shouldn't BE any sides right now! :censored::censored::censored: [/QUOTE]
