Congratulations, John!!
That would defeat the purpose of three co-equal branches of government. If you want everything run through one branch without any checks and balances, feel free to head North of the Border and “enjoy” Trudeau’s Canada!
Chuckie Schumer will run circles around Thune as the minority leader…Thune is a wet noodle…Cheers!!!…
