We have criminal government and it has been that way for over 100 years.
Tje so-called progressives led the way. The very first “progressives” were opposed to our Constitution and our rightful Common Law, they wanted Arbitrary government and administrative laws, where everything was politically sourced and the only things government could not do were things simply not popular enough ... yet. They were dishonorable men who took their oaths of office in vain and confounded assertions that something was needful to do (at least in their imaginations ) with the assumption it must therefore be lawful to do.
