The major failure of the Republican healthcare plan, to repeal and replace Obamacare, should come as no surprise to any lucid observer. Congress, on both the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle, has been moribund for decades, and its popularity among the citizenry of its members reflects this sad reality.
But what is worse than simply the ineptitude and political sclerosis of the institution, is its abject dishonesty with the American people. Deceit and obstruction have become the order of the day. Take the case of the Republican lead House Intelligence Committee, which not only has, for gutless political reasons, gone off as has the Senate Intelligence Committee, on a Russian collusion jihad, but now is also conducting a sham of an investigation into the illegal and criminal mass surveillance of millions of Americans by our intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
