Congress needs to use the impeachment power that the Constitution provides and cease being subservient to the lawless executive branch. The US faces no threat that justifies the lawlessness and abuse of police powers that characterize the executive branch in the 21st century.
Spymaster Clapper to Lead Investigation into Spying When Obama announced last Friday that he’d reform NSA spying, we documented that it wasn’t wise to trust him. Friday, Obama promised an independent group or experts would investigate…
