On Tuesday evening, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) unleashed one of the more bizarre tweets in Congressional history: a picture of herself standing alongside former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau deputy director Leanne English, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) with the royalist caption, “Incredibly thankful for the determination of Leandra English, the rightful Acting Director of @CFPB. #DefendCFPB.”

The tweet smacks of Game of Thrones or the restoration of Charles II to the British throne. Nancy Pelosi would throw out the Usurper Mulvaney and make way for the rightful heir, Leanne English, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Bureaucrats.

Unfortunately for Pelosi, English isn’t the rightful acting director of the agency, as a federal court found last night. She was installed inappropriately by the outgoing partisan hack director, Richard Cordray, and replaced by Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, at the legal behest of the President of the United States.
But Democrats don’t think the Constitution applies to Democrats. So long as they can maintain power through whatever means necessary, they’re happy to do so. Fortunately, the revolution is over, and the English lost.
