The six Supreme Whores have taken control of the government. When your coup fails one way, have a backup plan to take control.

(13,225 posts)The center of the controversy was the EPA's Superfund, a five-year, $1.6 billion program established by Congress to help facilitate cleanups of hazardous-waste dumps. At the time, the EPA had identified about 14,000 potentially hazardous dump sites and 418 "worst" sites for possible Superfund allocations. But the cleanup work had only been completed at five sites. When Gorsuch refused to turn over subpoenaed documents on some of the cleanup sites, the House voted to cite her for contempt of Congress. An article in the February 21, 1983 issue of Newsweek referred to the controversy and its domino effect of consequences as having "eerie overtones of Watergate, or 'Sewergate,' as one lawmaker dubbed it."

Like Reagan, Gorsuch viewed the federal government as too big, and she slashed the EPA's budget and even may have moved to get rid of the Clean Air Act. As the article recalls,
With the Clean Air Act due to be renewed, for example, Gorsuch recently took the draconian step of imposing sanctions on states in technical violation of air-pollution standards, raising what California Lt. Gov. Leo McCarthy calls "a real suspicion [of] an effort by Gorsuch to create such an outcry about harsh enforcement that the Clean Air Act will be gutted." Endless reorganizations and reassignments have led many longtime employees to leave in disgust. The Office of Legal and Enforcement Counsel has been reorganized no fewer than six times since Gorsuch took over, according to a group called "Save EPA," and there have been three assistant administrators for enforcement.

(86,515 posts)2 judges with conflict of interest problems and 2 who are just unfit and unqualified, all placed by questionable means (lying under oath to Congress) tearing down the Bill of Rights.

It's not a simple correction, but there is a path to one.
