A great example of the many system abuses over the past several weeks.

People did not vote for the Dark Enlightenment nor the Butterfly Revolution. Want to gut USAID? Work with Congress and pass a law. Want to strip Social Security? Samesies.

That is the rule of law. If you are a representative of the people, you follow the law.
