Our Democracy Is Fading (Don't Blame Trump)

This one's on the people.

Esquire
The President's Fans Think He'd 'Operate More Effectively' Without Congress or the Courts
"The share of people polled who say presidents could operate more "effectively" if he did not have to worry about Congress or the courts is up 16 percent in a single year, to 43 percent."

Oft times I kid with my wife saying we must have woken up in parallel universe overnight much different from our own. Once Trump skates through without repercussions from the Senate I expect us to be even more distant from the universe we once occupied. Everything I ever thought I knew about my fellow Americans now is in question. The United States has come to a crossroads. I'm pretty certain I'm not going to like the way this turns out.

Before anyone contemplates leaving a comment I require you read this article first.

    1. The executive branch, Congress and the Supreme Court are all coequals. The constitution states The House of Representatives...shall have the sole Power of Impeachment. (ARTICLE I, SECTION 2, CLAUSE 5. No where did it include the Supreme Court in determining whether it has authority over the House. I think the founders were pretty clear on that. Otherwise why would it state :sole power...?

      Unless you can find specific written words that say differently in the articles for impeachment Dean is correct.

  2. Thanks for the information.If the courts have nothing to do with impeachment why does The Chief Justice preside at the Senate trail ?

    1. Because the constitution requires it. Other then that the Supreme Court itself plays no part. If you can find something that states otherwise, please share a link.
