Showing Original Post only (View all)Republicans are stopping their town hall events. [View all]
They have not been going the way they planned.
They have become very confrontational and accusatory for the elected Republicans.
People scream at them. "Do your job!"
They are feeling the heat of their constituency. Their power is threatened by the people they purportedly represent.
And to think, the consequences of their cuts and illegal activities have not yet begun to be felt by most of their supporters.
Who will they blame?
The Constitution does not give any one person the right to create their own budget or make their own cuts without the debate and input of Congress. They are indulging in an illegal and unconstitutional act.
However, it could be a long time before the Courts rule upon it.
