Sen. Mike Lee's single-handed blockage of legislation to protect the Mueller investigation is almost farcical, because he said the proposed protection threatens government's “separation of powers.”
His justification was a dissent concocted by Justice Antonin Scalia against an old 7-1 Supreme Court decision saying a law that creates an independent counsel is constitutional. Furthermore, the excuses used by the present Republican leadership, that legislation for protection of Mueller's work is not needed, is equally farcical. As we know, despite assurances otherwise, Trump can change his mind on issues quicker than a flag changes direction in a hurricane.
