Public service is a good thing. Politics can be, too. GU Politics is proud to be at the @McCourtSchool. #HoyaSaxa

It may feel like people in Washington don't talk to each other anymore. But here, we do. For 10 years, GU Politics has been giving students the chance to hear, share, respect and question different viewpoints. https://t.co/yUgdRh4AWV

A student just asked to what extent should Congress take to preserve the rule of law in the DOJ. Sarah replied: “We don't have 3 functioning branches of government. Congress has left the field, and that is not recent. It's the era of executive order instead of legislation.”
