Trump’s behavior is a threat to our Constitutional order.
The facts behind his impeachment show that he abused a position of public trust for private gain, the definition of corruption and abuse of power.
More worryingly, he refused to comply with Congress’s power to investigate his conduct, a fundamental breach of the checks and balances that is the bedrock of our Constitutional order.
~
One of the articles of impeachment drafted against President Richard Nixon in 1974 charged him with contempt of Congress because he refused to respond to Congressional subpoenas for documents related to his criminal behavior.
Nixon withheld information, claimed executive privilege, and appealed to the Supreme Court.
The Court unanimously rejected his claims, firmly establishing that the president is not above the law and is subject to the legal process.
~
The same charge has now been levied against Trump for the same behavior.
Trump refused to comply with Congressional subpoenas and claimed the impeachment inquiry was illegitimate.
Trump’s lawyers have literally argued in court that, while president, Trump should be immune from investigation or prosecution for any criminal conduct.
~
Trump’s acquittal (coupled with Clinton’s, in 1999) would mean that, over time, a future president can abuse his power,
obstruct justice,
commit perjury,
profit from office,
defy Congress,
ignore subpoenas,
seize Congress’ power of the purse,
never reveal tax records,
admit to sexual assault,
violate campaign finance laws,
intimidate witnesses,
and disregard truth with impunity, firm in the knowledge that he faces no accountability, no check, no balance, no consequence, and no higher law.

If that is true, then our prolife cause is at an end.
Comments like these from every one elses today, that’s why AAAAGGHHH! It’s a great day, in the greatest country in the history of the world. And not one happy or encouraging thought. Go out live life, have fun be with people you love, have some ice cream, play CAH at a coffee shop. For God’s smile and laugh for the same end awaits us all. I’m going skydiving, Chineese food then off to see 1917.
Yes, Carmen, look around and make sure nobody’s listening before you open your heart and let out a scream. Feel better? Now you can go back to telling liberals that all is well and they’re worried over a big nothingburger.
