Once again we find the Congress of the United States divided by party on an issue. Of course, its not the critical issue of the debt. Rather, it is whether to cite the attorney general for contempt in failing to produce documents related to the investigation of the failed program known as "Fast and Furious." To listen to the speaker, Mr. Boehner, it is a constitutional crisis. On the other side, Ms. Pelosi calls it "frivolous." Which is it?
It is a constitutional crisis, but it is one of a greater magnitude than the gentleman from Ohio or the lady from California can comprehend. We no longer respect the rule of law. The tyranny of the majority prevails. It no longer matters to have the law on your side. Politics is now a numbers game pure and simple.
Those people imprisoned in the Beltway mentality do not understand this is the source of frustration the rest of us feel. For most Americans it is at the level of uneasiness, occasionally boiling over in anger. Most of the country knows something smells but they can not yet put it into words due to this concept being ignored in the education they received. If someone speaks out, explaining the problem and defining rule of law, he could lead a revolution.
