The Left's most fervent, and most wrong, attack dog: NY's Rep. Dan Goldman
Jonathan Turley
In Federalist No. 51, James Madison famously wrote that “ambition must be made to counteract ambition.” He believed that members of each branch would jealously protect their own institutions from the other branches.
Of course, Madison never met Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY). Goldman is an example of how the wrong type of ambition can destroy Congress if it becomes widespread among members.
This week, both Republican and Democratic members raised alarm over the disclosure that Special Counsel Jack Smith tracked the telephone calls by members of both houses of Congress.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) stated, “On the surface of it, it would strike me as a significant invasion of the right of Senators to conduct their jobs, so this is something that needs urgent follow-up.”
But one member rushed forward to dismiss such institutional concerns as much ado about nothing. Goldman attacked the victims as legitimate targets to help “confirm Trump’s effort to overturn the election.”
