(Where do you suppose he thinks he is?)
Our country’s founders never anticipated such a thing–that we would set aside our freedoms and our Constitution every time the “experts” said we had a “crisis”–but it’s looking like we need one:
A Constitutional amendment banning “mandates” by any level or agency of government anytime, anywhere, for any reason. In other words, if you can’t get it passed as a law by the people’s elected representatives, you can’t do it. Period. No president, governor, mayor, or bureaucrat can just lay it on us.
We have 535 members of Congress, some of whom are sane. But say there are, oh, 450 loons up on Capitol Hill. Can they do more damage than one wacko in the White House, or the state house, or the city hall? Paradoxically, it doesn’t seem they can! The more divided the political power, the safer we are from its abuse.
There has always been this expectation–hope? wistful longing?–that our legislators collectively would be something better than a passel of nincompoops. But even with that hope dashed, at least they’re often too busy arguing and pulling chairs out from each other to do serious harm to the country. It’s only when they get together that we have to be afraid.
