AFTER SIX YEARS OF OBAMA RUNNING ROUGHSHOD OVER AMERICAN POLITICAL CULTURE UNDER THE FLAG OF “I WON,” AND “FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION,” James Fallows is now tugging his chin over Republican departures from interbranch comity. After the nuclear option, the ObamaCare “reconciliation” ram-through, and the executive order sprees, this deserves to be ignored, and it will be.

Plus: “What is not normal is for one country’s governments openly to meddle or take sides in another (friendly) country’s internal politics.” Really? Because Obama’s doing that with Israel’s elections right now. Fallows’ entire piece seems an exercise in special pleading. And chutzpah. You want civility and tradition? Try practicing it.
