A conundrum I never tire of -
Advertisements [?]
How is it that one political party was willing to "go to the barricades" and impeach over a President lying about consensual adult sex which affected no one but the three people involved in the triangle and should NEVER have been a subject of inquiry anyway, all the while screaming "Rule of Law, Rule of Law" -

And another political party is unable to gather themselves for the same fight even when it involves a President claiming non-existent rights of a "unitary Executive", wars based on personal animosity, illegal wiretapping, politicizing the Justice Department, outing CIA agents, malfeasance (Katrina)and torture, just on the short list? Actions that did affect the lives of thousands if not millions of Americans and others, and yet this party just can't find it within themselves to fight for the Constitution and (for real) the Rule of Law. How is this possible?

A lack of political will and righteousness that I will never cease to find just outright shocking.
