at least, we're going in the right direction this time around. It is just too bad that these thugs and crooks got their way for far too long, and the tools of government and some representatives failed to keep him in check (the republican senators mostly). That's why the constitution clearly laid out the rules for each body of government were established to provide a check on each other. That's failed or at least the republicans tried to bypass these checks and balances.
