NYT you stupid motherfuckers that just means there is no truce

Part of it is because Scotus made Congress irrelevant: it blew up the legislative veto in Chadha; it restricted what Congress can do in City of Flores
Scotus doctrines related to standing and officers have made Congress increasingly unable to oversee the executive except by (impossible) impeachment

Very much unlike how Congress has deinstitutionalised itself due to its pointlessness relative to executive action

The fact that the pool of possible ministers are also Parliament means they actually care about oversight (not to mention Parliament's actual ability to DO oversight by reshuffling or removing ministers)

There are recent papers, such as Morstein-Marx "Extraurban voters" (2024) which argue turnout was higher, but not much more than 10pc, which is still extremely low

Matsuaka also needs to seriously engage with Mouritsen *Plebs* (2001), and later *Politics* (2017), and argumentation from Jehne "Who attended?" (2006) that the Romans basically cared not at all about turnout which especially undermines the Roman democracy argument

Separately, one could also consider Flower *Roman Republics* (2010) for argumentation that the republic was NOT a continuous political entity from circa 509 forward (the specific date is disputed even in the ancient sources).

Good overviews in Drogula *Commanders and Command* (2015) and Lintott *Constitution* (1999)

Should mention the tribunes, the coordination of the senate, etc
Also, prior to the 2nd century consuls and praetors were often not in the city, putting the civic government largely in the hands of the senate

You'd lose. Under Scotus precedent which is completely disconnected from the text of the law, 42 USC s 1983 has an invisible qualified immunity exception for law enforcement
