They bristle at literally everything he does. But in our system, Congress doesn't get to remove a president just because they don't like him. They don't get to ignore the Constitution just because they abhor his policies, his staff members or his manner of speaking. When the rule of law in our system rules, we all do better, and it has to be followed, defended and preserved. I pray that we can still do that when this charade is over and after this dangerous precedent is set for the future of this blessed nationGod help us.
