There's only one remedy . . .
A clean sweep.
A fresh start.
Maybe these "extreme" ideas are starting to make more sense?
But you ask: "What will happen? Congress has all sorts of protocols and procedural precedents, established rules and guidelines for committee assignment and processing of legislation. What about all that legislative infrastructure?"
Exactly! What about it, folks? How about throwing out the babies AND the bathwater? Is any of it serving "we the people"? Sometimes you have to completely raze a building and start from scratch. YES . . . THAT IS WHAT I'M RECOMMENDING!
It's either that or a constitutional convention or . . . uh-oh . . . we're back to what Jefferson and Kennedy said.
Here's a pop quiz. Do these words ring a bell? If they do, do they resonate?
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
If that's too arcane and brainy, then tune into something more street hip, if somewhat less precise.
