Poll regarding the 47 idiots and a response

[KingCharlemagne]

49. While technically a violation of the Logan Act, the letter and its 47 signatories have

committed an offense against the Constitution's principle of 'co-equal branches' and 'separation of powers.' As such, their offense is akin to the CIA staffers who spied on Feinstein's Select Senate Committee (probably also technically a violation of some obscure statute, but that's by-the-by).

Even if many Americans do not understand the principles of 'co-equal branches' and 'separation of powers,' it is vital to keep this in the media, in the hopes that enough will come to understand this to see the grave offense committed by the 47, an offense that, imo, transcends the petty confines of criminal statute (the Logan Act) and undermines the constitutional foundations of the Republic.

Lofty words, I know, but that's why the stakes are so high. The Constitution entrusts foreign policy to the Executive Branch, not the Legislative. And it does so for a reason (although my memory of the specific historical precedents has grown dim).
