WELCOME TO THE DIVIDIST™ PAPERS

    Divided Government Is Better Government.

DIVIDIST FEATURED VIDEO:
Antonin Scalia Ruling - Gridlock Is A Feature Not A Bug.

Justice Antonin Scalia explains the virtues of our divided government with the insight, clarity and simplicity of language that made him a giant on the Court. If you understand the Framer's intent with checks, balances, and separation of powers, you'll understand that divided government and gridlock is what really protects our freedoms, and makes our system exceptional.

Apparently it's a difficult concept for many Prog Pundits

SEARCH ME: Go ahead. It's not like we have any 4th amendment protections any more.

TWEET ME: I said I would never tweet. I lied.
