    If all fails there’s a funny amendment in the constitution literally for a situation exactly like this.

      A lot of what is being done right now violates the Constituent. That doesn’t matter unless someone enforces it, which is not happening. Congress should be responding, but the Republican majority are either in favor of the takeover or too afraid to oppose it. The courts have been helping some, but the Supreme Court (and many of the lower courts) have been taken over by people who support this.

      Unless some congressional Republicans grow a conscience or a spine, there isn’t anyone at the federal level who will defend the Constitution.
