There Surgent: The Fight for the Presidency Should Not Matter So Much

By Erick Erickson | April 14, 2016

Five black robed masters should not be able to redefine a multi-thousand year old institution because it makes less than 10% of the population happy. One President should not be able to direct an education bureaucracy to encourage gender neutral bathrooms in local schools across America. The bureacracy itself should not be able to redefine a mud puddle as a navigable waterway over which to exercise regulation of a person’s backyard. And no congressman should be able to direct a vanity building project back in his home state. The fight for the Presidency should not mean as much as it does because the Presidency itself should not mean as much as it now does. The way to fix Washington is to force it to surrender power back to fifty states and their citizens.
