Basic Cable
5th March 2015
Mark Steyn looks at Congressional Republicans below the fold.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are so good at folding Obama should hire them as White House valets.
I think he did. But don’t worry. We’re now being told: hey, relax, this whole illegal-executive-action amnesty thing can be left to the courts – just like Obamacare.
Hmm. The impressively rubber-jointed contortions of a constitutional court are one of the differences between America and most of the rest of the west, and they are not without their entertainment value. But they seem less and less relevant as the ruling party’s contempt for law grows ever more open. At the dawn of the Obama era, Americans used to be warned that, if they weren’t careful, they’d wind up like Europe. But, whatever one feels about it ideologically, the Swedes come by their Big Government more or less honestly. America seems to have bypassed Continental social democracy and gone full-blown Latin-American banana republic.

At this point, what difference does it make? So much damage has been done to the US, there is no way forward. To recoup what the country had will require tearing it all down and starting over.
