Due to the 2018 midterm elections, America no longer has a functional Congress.
Congress has been shedding its responsibilities for decades.
Congress has ceded over its own authority and duties to the judiciary, to the Federal Reserve, and to the bureaucrats of the administrative state to create regulations that have the same impact as laws.
There are exceptions, of course, but nowadays Congress is more like a gaggle of effete palace courtiers than a body of serious lawmakers.
On June 14, the American Enterprise Institute ran "Congress should fix itself before reclaiming its power" by Jay Cost, the blurb for which is: "The Constitution requires it to take the lead, but right now it's too dysfunctional." Mr. Cost addresses the tariff issue, and also gives us an elegant little history of what Congress used to be and just how Congress has been abdicating its role in the central government.
Maybe if the residents of Portland, Maine, come down with nasty cases of Ebola contracted from their new Congolese arrivals, Congress will start doing its job.
Given Congress' dysfunction on all matters dealing with the border, it's time for President Trump to declare martial law on the border and send in the cavalry.
