While the dems and Rinos are wringing their hands over the POTUS monitoring calls from terrorists to the USA..
They are busy making MORE committees to SPY on everything happening in Washington...more spying, more leaking.
But, heaven forbid that any of the agencies be able to spy on the bad guys.
If the US modern liberals had their way, we would have a parliamtentary style government, and as in Britain, cabinet officers would be expected to have an equal role with the chief executive on many policy matters.
If you follow legislation since the 1920s, Congress has been gradually usurping the strong executive the founders created. Essentially they have no understanding or respect for the division of powers, and assume, irrespective of what the Constitution says, the POTUS is not supposed to wipe his butt except by the means and method proscribed by Congress. How wrong they are.
A few liberals in the last few years have even thrown out the Constitution, in remarks in which they said Congress was the "supreme law of the land".
Also what they ignore completely, is while collectively, district by district they were elected by the people, the POTUS is the only one elected by the voting of all the people.
