Congresscritters have had every opportunity to do their jobs as independent members of a coequal branch of government. They chose not to and, well, if you kiss his ass, don’t be surprised when you eat shit
If we’re talking proximate causes, I’m all about Citizens United. If we’re talking big picture, slavery doomed the empire from the start.
