    Mobilized to force politicians to enact laws and regulations, that's what, because that's what works most efficiently.

    What's your next guess?

    McDonald's gave up the plastic clamshell containers because of people bitching about it. There were no regs forcing them to do so.

  3. Trump might actually submit a budget to the congress (as Obama has never done), and in this budget the funding for the DoE would be cut 75%. It's an executive agency, after all.

    Bullshit. They wish there were enough of them to swing an election, and I'm sure that the left wing wishes that's why Hillary lost so that they could cling to their precious moral superiority hobbyhorse, but wishing doesn't make it so.

    Trump didn't even get as many votes as Romney, and Romney was up against the most popular democrat since JFK.

    He won, because the Democrats nominated the only crook in the country who could lose to him. Feeding Hillary's black hole of an ego instead of choosing a viable candidate is the biggest mistake they've made since firing on Fort Sumter.

    the fitting term for Spencer himself seems to be "white supremacist"

    Nope. That's just what the left is trying to paint him as, since "racist" is a label that few people dare to investigate, let alone refute.

    Actually, their constitutional authority to exist is that the Executive Branch calls them into existence to execute the provisions of laws passed by the Legislative branch.

    It took a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, and that amendment has been repealed. This leaves no authority for any branch of the government to prohibit the manufacture, sale, or use of any drug. Any act of the congress that purports to do so is not a law at all, it is as James Madison would describe it, a usurpation.
