Whatever happened to that old journalism phrase, “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable”? Or what the Founders meant – to be a check on Government?
Blinded. Combine this with the lack of will of the Congress to exercise its considerable powers (or the opposite – the abject surrender), we are finding ourselves stepping more and more in the realm of a unitary President: Legislature, Judiciary, and Executive. If our so-called “press” and Congress do not soon regain consciousness (or sanity), we will be hearing Le Roi soon enough.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely – and if that happens, we may soon that definition up close and personal.
