Yes, Tom this is the crux of the matter. So many things have gone wrong.

My grandson (aged 40) blames the mess on Mitch McConnell whom he says has so much power the Democrats could do nothing. While I agree, the Senate Majority leader has too much power - as does the Speaker of the House - and that is by rules, it is not in the Constitution; that did not prevent the Democrats from protesting the appointment of all those judges Supreme and Inferior Courts, who obviously do not believe in the rule of law as written.

Had the Dems paid any attention they could have protested loudly before 2015. They could have gone to the media who, until 2020 were relatively honest, unlike today.

So now we have both a Supreme and Inferior court system with judges who refuse to uphold the Constitution. Who replace both Constitutional and common law with their personal religious beliefs. The Senate is especially guilty since they are the only body that can approve the appointment of judges.

They must all, both parties and independents agree to WORK a minimum, 100 days per year - not counting travel days, As it is today most of them work at most 3 days a week, when they aren't off fi9shing or playing. (Mondays they travel to DC - Fridays they travel home)

When I was working, traveling the East Coast and midwest, I flew to my desitination on Sunday and returned after noon on Friday - I needed Saturday for laundry an repacking as well as business regarding my home. I was 73 when I started traveling and almost 88 when I retired, if I could do it, so could they,
