In the wake of an obvious terror attack in San Bernadino, CA, our Attorney General, Loretta "Worse than Holder" Lynch vows to infringe the First Amendment rights of Americans on behalf of Muslims. Gee, it's not like Senate Republicans knew Loretta Lynch would ignore the law, or anything. Loretta Lynch admitted she would ignore our current immigration laws during her confirmation hearings. Her predecessor ignored DOMA and the federal narcotics laws by allowing states to ignore Federal laws banning marijuana. Lawlessness is the defining characteristic of the Obama Justice Department. Yes, the responsibility partly lies with the Obama Administration. But if "Republican" Senators like Illinois' Mark Kirk would do their job of judicial oversight, the Obama Administration would not be so audacious in ignoring not only the statutory law, but even the Constitution itself. There are three basic branches to the government, but current constitutional practice is turning the legislative branch into an irrelevance, and the judicial branch into a puppet of the executive branch. As for the regulatory branch (e.g. EPA, etc.) the legislative branch has ceded so much of its involvement that the presidency is, in fact, becoming the liberal dream of an elected monarchy.
Unfortunately, GOP front runner Donald Trump seems also to be totally on-board with the presidency being an elected monarchy. One of the side effects of The Donald's having no knowledge of politics is that he has no political theory at all. He doesn't know the Constitution from a hole in the ground, and thus he is not making an issue of how the balance of powers has been perverted in this country since 2001. Citizen Kane is a total fraud who is taking advantage of how bland and boring his competition is. If Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal had more stage presence, they might be on their way to the Oval Office. We aren't electing a host for the Tonight Show, people. Get a grip, and realize that a time of great national danger is no time for an amateur president.
