It's too bad Eisenhower dropped "congressional" from the draft of his farewell address. You can poke around the web for more specifics on why he did that, but it's easy to imagine that a desire to go out on a high note and not toss a grenade at another branch likely prompted such a choice.
In any case, today my man Glenn Greenwald chronicles a textbook case which illustrates what Eisenhower warned about.*
It didn't have to be this way.
It doesn't have to stay this way.
*Unlike many (most?) of my posts on politics, this one isn't partisan at all: there are guilty motherfuckers on both sides of the aisle.
