Ep. 7 - The Branch Brawl: How Congress Lost Its Backbone

Welcome to The Liberty Collaborative — where we break down the most urgent constitutional questions of our time. In Episode 4 of The Branch Brawl, we tackle the Legislative Branch: Has Congress surrendered its power? Why do lobbyists wield so much influence? Is “bringing home the bacon” still democracy in action — or corruption in disguise? What’s really behind Congress’s weakening grip on power? 🔍 We explore the historical trends, the power struggles, and the mounting evidence that America’s First Branch is being sidelined. From the rise of the administrative state to the collapse of the power of the purse, this is a must-watch for anyone who believes in checks, balances, and a functioning republic.
