Welcome to the Potemkin Village of Washington Power | The American Conservative

What American constitutional government most urgently needs at present is for our Madisonian institutions the presidency, the Congress, and the courts to wrest back control of national security policy from an unelected and increasingly rogue national security establishment. 

That ominous challenge to constitutionalism was on full display with the recent op-ed piece in the New York Times by retired Admiral William McRaven, in which he brashly warned that unless Trump jumped aboard the Forever War bandwagon, he must be removed, and the sooner the better. The U.S. must have a policy, McRaven said, that protects the Kurds, the Iraqis, the Afghans, the Syrians, the Rohingyas, the South Sudanese and the millions of people under the boot of tyranny.
