This is without doubt THE dumbest column from Douthat yet.

What a harebrained, ignorant, dumb way to try and deflect from the self-destruction of the Conservative movement, which has been in the making since Ronald Reagan, at least, as evidenced not just by Trump, but by the "our greatest goal is to make Obama fail" Republican mantra.

The ONLY reason Obama has had to resort to "executive privilege" is because of the absolute blockade by the GOP of ANYTHING going through Congress - see their refusal to even give the Obama Budget a hearing or to even consider any Supreme Court nomination - not to mention the several "shutdowns" engineered by the GOP.

Geese, Douthat, get a life!
