36. They say that because, not really knowing how to govern, they have to be TOLD by P2025 what to do.

Remember, more than anything else, that they COULD NOT come up with an alternative health care plan for the ACA. AND that they believe in governing power by Rule of Men, not by Rule of Law.

Why?

Because 24% of all Republican members of Congress have law degrees. In the House of Representatives, 52 Republicans (approximately 12% of the chamber's total 435 members) hold law degrees. Which means that 88% DO NOT.
In the Senate, 21 Republicans (21% of the 100 members) hold law degrees. FOR BOTH HOUSES, THAT'S IT.

In the House, Democrats have 85 lawyer-legislators compared to 52 Republicans.
In the Senate, approximately 47 senators (47% of the Senate) hold law degrees.
Democrats outnumber Republicans among these lawyer-legislators, with 25 Democrats to 21 Republicans

Democrats hold way more law degrees, and know the importance of of Rule of Law in the longest standing democracy in human history.

They DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GOVERN.

So they (and the felon) follow the Koch Heritage oligarch network's orders. They follow the power of money over the power of Law. Because they're tools of the rich. The rich want to be above the Rule of Law.
And so injustice is at the core of this government restructured and paid to serve the rich.

Knowing the numbers matters.
