We got here through Citizens United. Unlimited dark money in campaigns, used to unseat and thwart candidates who would uphold the law and the rights of the citizenry. Can thank Chief Justice John Roberts for that, as he's been dismantling the Constitution and degrading the rule of law for decades on end. Because of his handiwork, look where we are now... my interview with investigative journalist Dave Daley details the 'Justice's' handiwork to dismantle democracy as a tool of the far-right over 50 years.

This was an imperfect union for the beginning. Any open democracies are subject to being turned into dictatorships regardless of constitutions.
