There was a time in this country when politicians at least tried to hide their desire for absolute rule. Maybe it was because they knew the media would castigate them. Maybe they feared voters actually going to the polls and kicking them out. But those times are long gone, as exemplified by House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and company with their “vote”–and I use that term loosely–to allow proxy voting in the House. Thankfully, there are Republicans in the House willing to stand up to Queen Nancy and take her attempt to bypass the Constitution and federal law to court.
