It is my observation that a plutocratic minority came into existence beginning with the repeal of "Glass-Steagall." That minority grew in wealth during the George W. Bush years and caused the 2008 global economic collapse. Their bailout facilitated a restructuring of commerce across the globe. That restructuring was facilitated by corruption and crime in the previous eight years. This was noted in Europe as well as the USA.
To make a long story short, the first President of the USA was elected in 2016 from this plutocracy under the guise of a patriotic party named, "The Tea Party," a Republican Party extremist arm. As the first plutocratic president the Trump Administration has stomped the USA Constitution and Bill of Rights.
It is about time Congress took it's place in enforcing the provisions of the USA Constitution to uphold it's integrity. The Congressional Republicans are afraid of Mr. Trump and his political clout within their party. The Congressional Republicans have relinquished the USA Constitution to the back seat of their Congressional business agenda to further exploit the USA's fiscal characteristics sending more wealth to their plutocrats and demising further the middle class and poor.
