Bipartisanship is often heralded as the pinnacle of legislative achievement. The recent votes on foreign aid to Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine offered a display of this heraldry. But we should stop praising bipartisanship as a virtue. It is not inherently praiseworthy.
Bipartisanship is praiseworthy as a byproduct of the legislative process. When powers are divided, mechanisms slow down legislation and encourage debate, and legislators will pass fewer laws. Those they do pass will tend to reflect consensus. Bipartisanship is an outcome of a better legislative process, not a good in itself. |

NOTABLE QUOTES |
Rep. Brandon Williams (R- NY) in a 5/16/24 X post: Antisemitic protestors received virtually NO punishment for supporting Hamas violence. They learned that violence and vandalism are tolerated on leftwing campuses and in leftist States. Will demonstrations return in September? They’re just getting started — we must stamp out antisemitism.
New York Post 5/16/24 headline: Douglas Murray: Take off the masks, you anti-Israel cowards! Protesters aren’t really scared of COVID — they’re hiding shame of their prejudice.
Major General Joe Arbuckle (USA, Ret.) contributor to American Thinker: Contrary to the DEI slogan that “Diversity is Our Strength,” the historical truth and battle-tested reality is: “Unity and Assimilation are Our Strengths.” |
