In reply to the discussion: Harry Reid says the Anarchists have taken over Congress [View all]Baitball Blogger
(46,776 posts)16. Yep. Anarchy took hold in my community in the seventies,
and grew stronger every decade. In the nineties things happened that should have been a career ender for many "professionals" and politicians, but unfortunately, when Bush came into office you could hardly separate their ambitions from the objectives promoted by Republicans.
The key to beating them is the Fourteenth Amendment. But it doesn't matter if we engrave the words under the statutes of Mount Rushmore. You're going to need Constitutional lawyers to take them to court and challenge them wherever bad practices are taking hold. This is the only way to wake everyone up, as I see it.
