So we go into the next election
without a working constitution, troops in Iraq, etc. Go through the different scenarios with me. Will my country be restored or have we entered something new? Say we hold on to the seats we have, but the republicans win the presidency, what happens? Or say, we win the presidency, but lose a house in congress, what happens? What laws and precepts of our constitution will be restored? Which ones remain? Does domestic spying stay? How big will Homeland Security end up being and how will it's functions evolve? Will the empire project continue? Let's hear all scenarios including, I guess, our sure fire victory if we don't impeach.

1. we have become, effectively, a one-party country
in which the party in power has less than 30% approval

I don't see anything good happening any time soon

2. I just don't know where we are going.
There's no roadmap and our past seems to have no bearing or influence on our future.
