Why, Again, Do We Have A 25th Amendment?

The "government of laws, not of men" is ultimately a government of persons (men and women) upholding the laws even over one man. But we don't do that here. So we end up with a government of men, not of laws.  And it's not like the situation when Kelly was in office is any better now, or even any different:

“I’m angry because people like Benny are losing this battle every single day,” she said. “And I still cannot get a straight answer out of the Trump administration about why Michigan and many other states is receiving a fraction of the vaccines we were slated to receive.”

Whitmer said there are millions of Pfizer vaccines that are waiting to be shipped, “but the feds are slow-walking the process of getting the addresses to Pfizer for some reason I cannot get an answer to.”

According to a report from Crain’s Business, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that federal officials said that next week’s shipment of the Pfizer vaccine will drop from 84,000 doses to 60,000.

“This is decided at the federal level and subject to change,” spokesperson Lynn Sutfin said in an email to Crain’s.

But Pence is getting his vaccination on TeeVee (apparently he didn't have a problem with delivery) and nobody in the Cabinet is so much as raising a peep about this or the Russia hack, two subjects upon which Trump is silent but deadly, and so we all have to hope we can hang on by our fingernails until mid-January.
