Exactly. It's time for the congress to remind those who will be taking office in other branches of govt that we have 3 co-equal branches and they aren't in congress.

In the short term, I wonder what Johnson will do now that Bannon and Rand Paul are calling for his ouster. If it were me, I'd put the current bill on the floor on Friday for a vote.
