Warnings about an imbalance of power in Washington are no longer confined to academic panels or think-tank reports. From fears that Congress is slipping into permanent weakness to alarms over authoritarian tendencies and state-level crises in energy and economic policy, experts describe a political system where authority is concentrating in fewer hands while accountability erodes….
The story is familiar in deer camps across the country. A hunter spends years watching a massive buck, patterns its movements, finally makes a clean shot, then watches the animal cross a fence onto land that suddenly belongs to someone else.
