Who could possibly have imagined a problem like that--other than anyone with a few functioning brain cells.
Seems like the usual R default mode. In this case, Unitary Executive for me but not for thee. Just like Law and order for thee but not for me and government handouts for me but not for thee.
That old one: I never expected the leopards to eat my face, sobbed the woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party comes to mind. Rs don't like to face the consequences of the policies that are designed to help them and hurt others.
Editing to add that the Unitary Executive theory is awful and hope I didn't sound as if I was supporting it for Darth Cheney.
