I am just gobsmacked that the leadership of the Senate is so blatantly screwing the Constitution. Where are the checks & balances? Thuth is, it's been that way for the last 2 years, they were NEVER going to break ranks. Somehow, someway, Russia got all of 'em by the nuts, and we are screwn.

(btw- My senator, Tom McClintock (ca-4th) is a lockstep Rethug Trumpian...makes me ill)
