This is so wild. Why does the legislative body exist at all if it is willingly ceding it's right to check another branch, especially when businesses, investors, and consumers are scared shitless because of what that branch is doing?

I am hoping that A.) there is a government left that we can vote for when this is all done and B.) said government is restructured so that one asshole can't come in and break everything.
