From your source^^^
That is a lie, probably a good idea, but a lie nonetheless. Our laws are made to be obeyed. They always have been.

The purpose of this whole activity is to discredit the FBI and in turn discredit Robert Mueller. If Nunes, the Trump hack can do that, all the evidence and indictments and guilty pleads against anyone in the Trump campaign will go away. That is where the House Repubs are going with this.
This was cooked up by the WH attorneys for Trump in order to prevent him from firing Mueller. The effort began after Trump ordered Mueller fired in June. He was so mad that his WH lawyer refused to go along with it, that he had his legal team come up with another idea to get rid of the SC without him firing him. They got the hack Nunes to come up with this "memo" and now he will begin a long term campaign to put doubt in anything that Mueller has come up with.
Although he might get rid of Rosenstein and therefore he can get Mueller. It all might be too late. Mueller may already have enough evidence to indict Trump. Trump is what we thought he was.....a slug.

If they don't they will make one up. Donald is making his "alternative facts" a mantra for the Justice Department.

Yes...thanks to the left, our culture has declined. Before the Left got control of so many of our institutions, we had a culture that refrained from divorce, children out of wedlock, crime, drugs, and valued education. Merely claiming the America of the 40s-60s was a great place, gets you branded a racist, sexist, and homophobic.
This article spells it out rather well...and the authors have been ruthlessly attacked by the Left, since it was published last summer.
Paying the price for breakdown of the country's bourgeois culture
That culture laid out the script we all were supposed to follow: Get married before you have children and strive to stay married for their sake. Get the education you need for gainful employment, work hard, and avoid idleness. Go the extra mile for your employer or client. Be a patriot, ready to serve the country. Be neighborly, civic-minded, and charitable. Avoid coarse language in public. Be respectful of authority. Eschew substance abuse and crime.
These basic cultural precepts reigned from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. They could be followed by people of all backgrounds and abilities, especially when backed up by almost universal endorsement. Adherence was a major contributor to the productivity, educational gains, and social coherence of that period.
Was everything perfect during the period of bourgeois cultural hegemony? Of course not. There was racial discrimination, limited sex roles, and pockets of anti-Semitism. However, steady improvements for women and minorities were underway even when bourgeois norms reigned. Banishing discrimination and expanding opportunity does not require the demise of bourgeois culture. Quite the opposite: The loss of bourgeois habits seriously impeded the progress of disadvantaged groups. That trend also accelerated the destructive consequences of the growing welfare state, which, by taking over financial support of families, reduced the need for two parents. A strong pro-marriage norm might have blunted this effect. Instead, the number of single parents grew astronomically, producing children more prone to academic failure, addiction, idleness, crime, and poverty.
This cultural script began to break down in the late 1960s. A combination of factors — prosperity, the Pill, the expansion of higher education, and the doubts surrounding the Vietnam War — encouraged an antiauthoritarian, adolescent, wish-fulfillment ideal — sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll — that was unworthy of, and unworkable for, a mature, prosperous adult society. This era saw the beginnings of an identity politics that inverted the color-blind aspirations of civil rights leaders like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. into an obsession with race, ethnicity, gender, and now sexual preference.

Yes, people should totally stay in unhappy marriages because divorce wasn't invented until the 1970's.
Forget the Alimony! I've got a better idea!
Okay, but you left out some parts of that script. The parts where the rich paid their fair share in taxes and the middle class brought home a fair wage because they belonged to a union. Those were a little more important than 'not cussing"
You bemoan the loss of community, but ignore the reason why a lot of us don't know our neighbors is that we are all too busy working two jobs to make ends meet.
Again, the real problem was the convervatives contribution to this decline. You seem to want to forget that since 1968, republicans controlled the WH for 29 of those 50 years.
Republicans busted up the unions that made it possible for Dad to bring home a living wage so mom could stay with the kids.
Republicans were the ones who started "identity politics" by convincing white people that they were under attack from Nixon's Southern Strategy to Reagan's Welfare Queens to Bush's Willie Horton ads.
The part where we cut out a lot of the infrastructure and education spending to make sure the rich got their tax cuts.
