46. Good response. The Cotton Letter ranks right up there in its despicability with Nixon's

sabotage of LBJ's Vietnam peace talks in 1968 or H.W. Bush's alleged sabotage of negotiations with the Iranians for release of the Embassy hostages on behalf of Reagan in 1980.

That the American people did not rise up immediately in righteous fury to toss out those 47 rapscallions says much about the ill health of our civic public space and the republic we purport to cherish. "Separation of powers" is now quaint and obsolete, at least when POTUS is African-American and the Senate is controlled by the fascists. Our founding fathers are spinning in their graves. As conservative as he was, Eisenhower would be a Dem today, no doubt about it in my mind.
