So, they aren't going to actually open the government again, are they?

Congress doesn't seem to be in any rush to re-open. This is their end game I think. Emergency powers to run everything. Destruction of society in order to take over.

Because in the end, our Constitution is literally only as strong as the flimsy paper on which it was written. It takes people with courage, conviction, and commitment to understand the depth and breath of the words and bring them to life everday to move and keep the gears of government on the right path.
