Dammit! Will there ever be a nation where leaders know/remember/understand the job they are hired to do: and that is to protect and uphold the benefit of the people they are hired to represent?

And getting anyone of them to adhere to any agreement would be impossible, remember they are politicians. And don't overlook at the comments made by a couple candidates for jobs on the Supreme Court... "For a long time the Court has accepted the law on abortion and I will uphold that law!" Yeah, sure..........
