I leave for an hour, come back, and rethugs are still saying black is white, and white is black.

Tell me, where in the Constitution, it says Congress should go to court before they can get anything done? Does it mention the courts at all? No, it says Congress has the SOLE power of impeachment. It states plainly that it is their DUTY to investigate malfeasance by the executive branch. And there are three distinct and separate branches of government.

Why is that so hard to understand?
