Agree. I've gotten the sense that they don't use the law for its intended purpose, but rather as a tactic to control people, "We can do it, because see? It's the law." When they break it, they do it because they know it's either going to take a long time to stop them in the courts, or because they have prosecutors/courts in their pocket.
I haven't heard them say "apologize later." I've actually seen them say, "Let's pass this bill. Let the Supreme Court settle whether it's constitutional or not," basically, "That's not our job." Yes, it is! The Supreme Court is not just there to clean up Congress's mess. Members of Congress swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. They act like it's a formality that means nothing, because, "We're only here to respond to political pressure."
GMoody, Exactly, they're brazenly breaking so many of our laws because they can do it with absolutely 💯 no negative consequences.
We need to hold their feet to the fire! Enough of all of the new bills or laws that they'll ignore 🙄 anyway!!

Mark, I agree 👍
They operate on the premise of: do it now and apologize later!! However lately I've not seen any apologies!!!!

Exactly!
Hence my statement of: I haven't heard any apologies lately.
You're right ✅️ no attempts of righting any of their transgressions.
You're also SPOT ON about the Supreme Court's job isn't and wasn't designed to perform the: "Cleanup on aisle 13!"
