      Good comparison. Every Congress seems to have a Republican flunky like this willing to take it with no Vaseline for whatever payoff is down the line. They're like herpa-derp hype men.

        It just doesn’t make sense for it to be a senator. Honestly, they are supposed to be above the House. I get why a representative would weld their wagon to a more powerful one. But a senior senator has so much power as it is. It just doesn’t make sense for a senator to lose their mind like this.

        There was a time when a US senator would view him or herself as a power center and not one to just allow a president to step on them. I guess the republicans are just so sycophantic that this no longer applies.

          I think you have to factor in how weak the right in general and the GOP in particular is. The sort of people who go into that party has been declining intellectually and morally since the 1970s. That's almost 50 years, now -- virtually nobody left has any sort of mental acuity. They really are as stupid as their voters.

          The right worked when it was smart guys in the backroom pushing actors out in front of their dumb voters to fleece them. But in the ensuing interval a whole generation of conservatives grew up on Rush and Fox. Anybody with even a smidgen of intelligence or character bailed, and this is what's left for them.

          Lindsey Graham is not even competent enough to be a utility infielder in the Democratic party, but in the GOP he starts and bats third.

            Among the casualties of President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to build his border wall is the reputation of the majority leader Mitch McConnell as a Senate institutionalist. The evidence of the last few days has confirmed, if there were still any doubt, that he is no such thing.

            First, he helped prolong the longest government shutdown in American history by insisting that the Senate would act only with explicit approval from the president. Now Mr. McConnell has fully acquiesced in President Trump’s power grab by supporting an emergency declaration, which he opposed just weeks before, aimed at addressing a crisis that Senate Republicans know does not exist.

            This display of obedience from the leader of a supposedly coequal branch of government is shocking only if you ever believed Mr. McConnell was an institutionalist. But his defining characteristic has always been his willingness to do anything and sacrifice any principle to amass power for himself. What separates him from the garden-variety politicians — what makes him a radical — are the lengths he is willing to go. Seeing this with clarity should help us grasp the danger to which he is subjecting the Senate — and, more important, our democracy.

            In the months ahead, our institutions are likely to be tested as rarely before. Under a strong leader, the Senate could provide a critical counterweight to an out-of-control executive. Instead, we have a man who will put his self-interest first, every single time. We should enter this chapter with clarity and finally see Mr. McConnell for what he is. He’s not an institutionalist. He is the man who surrendered the Senate to Donald Trump.

              Completely agree. Not sure why Itch gets the press that he does as some legislative genius although I suspect its because his Beltway cocktail parties are stocked with some really good bourbon from his former home state (not sure he's stepped foot in Kentucky since sometime in the 1980's ).

                            I'm guessing they were trying to present something to the Representative that she could sign (an affidavit) stating and affirming she's never married her brother.
