Now They Can Claim They're # One.

       According to an article in the National Memo today, our current Congress is the worst Congress ever. Possibly next to the 112th Congress for the honor (?) of being the worst in all of American history. The 112th threatened, and in fact did, hold the country hostage so long that for the first time in American history our credit rating was lowered.
       But what gave our current Congress the new title? The article mentions five reasons, and they're big ones. Zika starts us off, or rather the non-funding for three months before funding the fight against Zika and then only by taking the funding away from other infectious diseases and then only one third of the funds needed.
       Second reason is Paralysis. About the only thing that's been getting passed by the Congress is naming new Post Office buildings. Third reason is the Voting Rights Act, that even Reagan called the "crowned jewel of American liberties." But this Congress has hacked it apart. Forth is Abandoning its Duty to Confirm Appointments. Important and even critical positions in Homeland Security, National Security and the judicial, at all levels, have been purposely ignored.
       Fifth reason is the "biggest dereliction of duty of all - the Supreme Court." Republicans decided to rewrite history rather than do their job by refusing to even consider any candidate to fill the empty seat left by Justice Scalia's passing. Taken as a whole, just these five reasons appear enough to impeach Congress. Unfortunately you won't find this Congress voting to impeach itself. That's because way too many actually think they're doing the right thing. Naw, they just want us to think they're doing the right thing.
       America deserves better than this. We deserve a Congress that sees a job worth doing and goes out and does it, that understands fairness and begins to play by the rules of fairness, that stands up to those who would deny others their rights and provides everyone the same rights. The best way to impeach Congress is to vote them out. Remember, Freedom Caucus is a misnomer.
