One could argue then that this country deserves this “leadership” because it is too gullible and stupid to question the media lies.
And yet, we deserve the leadership we have.
We elected members of Congress and the president. The POTUS presents a candidate for the SCOTUS and Congress either accept or reject the candidate. All citizens should know that there are certain groundrules to be followed in order to run the country—it is called the Constitution.
Once we trample this document we have ceased to be a orderly country but we have become a mob. Anyone and his dog with an axe to grind can now come up with any offensive demand and justify this outrage because the rules have either been changed or are no longer in existence.
If we install an enigma in the WH we will have not followed set rules. What is even more ominous is that those who have sworn to defend and uphold the Constitution, can so easily be swayed to violate it. If we are willing to do it once we will do it again in the future at any time we think it to be necessary. The Constitution will then become some curiosity in a museum.
