These people are not patriots to America

They are zealots to their religion and their party and have no boundaries in place for what is good and decent as long as THEY get THEIR way.
It is really quite astounding and there isn't ANY law or ANY republican who is going to insist that the law be followed here.
That is the scary part. We are now a country without laws except those that they wish to impose on the rest of us.

And I am not being sarcastic. When Clinton was President the GOP used any excuse to obstruct. The GOP pursued the same path with President Obama.

And the corporate media says nothing about it.

most national level politicians are guaranteed a lifetime job, followed by a well paid lobbying job if they so desire.

Their salaries put them in the 1%. The struggles of working Americans are not their struggles.

So they can take a more detached view.
