This is not a petty political issue, it is a big one and taken seriously. The vote is on friday and the majority of the house is going to vote them in contempt. Big deal indeed, if you think democracy is important. A historical first nobody should be proud of.

What if you don't? I believe in the theory of democracy but it ends there. I am firmly in belief that democracy is not and will never be effective as long as self-serving people/parties are in-charge. Opposition is rarely about what is good for the country but is simply used to denounce the party in power as a matter of course with the hopes of attaining future power.
What we really need is a benevolent dictator - unfortunately those are just like an altruistic elected official, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus.
