Trump’s own Judge Kari Dooley slammed the door in Connecticut, and the information stayed exactly where it belongs.

Congress was granted many powers under Article I of the Constitution. Recently, lawmakers under current GOP majorities have ceded much of their authority to the president, while Washington is plagued by gridlock, and Congress is marginalized.
