I was reading a novel this morning and came across a paragraph that inspired me to write this posting. Executive Orders was written by Tom Clancy, published in 1996 and dedicated to Ronald Reagan our 40th President. The book followed the path of John Patrick Ryan, who had recently assumed the presidency due to a major disaster'

The wording of that paragraph made me think of the numerous times, in the past two and a half years of the Trump administration, where federal judges have attempted to derail the President's lawful decisions. These judges have, evidently, decided that they are the executive branch of the federal government and not the judicial branch. Such actions are contrary to the Constitution of the United States. Judges, at any level of the justice system, are sworn to uphold the laws, as written, until the Congress has changed them.

We are seeing the same misuse of power in the Congress itself as many elected Representatives and Senators in the Democratic Party has spent the same amount of time doing nothing but spend millions of taxpayer dollars in an attempt to convince the public that President Trump is unfit for office. These politicians all took an oath when taking office where they swore, or affirmed, that they would support the Constitution of the United States.

Every individual, man or woman, who holds a position of power where that power is derived by either e******n or appointment should be required to not only take that oath but be stripped of office when they fail to do so. Yet, every day we read or hear about another city mayor, city council member, city police chief, county commissioner, State Representative or Senator who, for wh**ever reason, has decided that current law doesn't fit into their belief system.

I firmly believe that any elected or appointed official who refuses to support the laws of our nation should be charged with the proper offense, arrested, tried, and if found to be guilty, punished to the full extent of the law that they violated.

Oh, please!

"Obstruction of Congress"?? "A Congress that was lawfully elected" is attempting to unseat a lawfully elected president, and for what reason??? "Upholding their duty to follow the rule of law?? Their duty is to abide by the Constitution under the authority it grants them, they swore the oath to do so. What laws are they following??

Better questions: What laws are they violating? Are they betraying their oath? Who or what are they defying?? The answers are staring us in the face.

The left says that walls don't work, in your case they do. You are hidden behind a high wall of extreme prejudice, even h**e, and without an objective point of view, you cannot see this from the other direction.

This entire "impeachment" debacle is based on one phone call. We have the full transcript of that call. And since the call reveals no wrong doing or criminal conspiracy, the fops leading the committees and the pasty faced speaker herself had to regroup and manufacture a case.

Schiff is the primary mover of this skullduggery. He orchestrated a covert plan that involves a fraudulent complaint by a mysterious whistle blower. Schiff lied when he took his plan to the House floor. So, now this "impeachment" fiasco revolves around the complaint from an anonymous source, one that remains hidden and unknown. Issuing subpoenas based on a manufactured story and keeping the prime witness hidden is an egregious breach of congressional ethics and it is a violation of the rule of law.

President Trump, his attorneys, all those named in the HOR subpoenas, the AG and the American people have the right to know who this phantom is. President Trump has the right to confront his accuser and question him (or her).

Congress (the Legislative) is an equal branch of our government. Congress is not superior to the other two branches.

A committee chairman and his cronies on his committee are attempting to overturn the decisions of 63 million Americans and in so doing are going to decide the future of our entire nation. Is this what you call "upholding their duty to follow the rule of law" as lawfully elected representatives of the People?

Firstly~Thank you for Serving!! My hubby was a Navy vet!!.. Secondly, I agree with everything you've said, which brings me to the Charge of S******n of these "Representatives".. This "C**p" is anything BUT Lawful!!.. They (Dems) Have planned this C**p, since the day that NOW President Trump said he was going to run...The surveillance that Donald J Trump & His family, & his campaign (SHAMELESS) all occured while he was still Just a citizen, This over reach and witch hunt, fishing expedition, call it what ya want.. is Unlawful and Unconstitutional!! Thank you Sir for your Post!

Here's part of the problem; elected officials, from both parties, are using the courts as a way to circumvent current law, when they are unable to change said law. This has been happening for decades, forcing courts to engage in partisan politics in violation of the very laws they're supposed to uphold. This phenomenon is the reason why such a feeding frenzy is taking place, seeking to seat as many partisans as possible on as many Judicial benches as possible.

Your opinion about Trump, assumes that HE is following the Constitution and faithfully discharging the duties of POTUS. Who is responsible for ensuring that the administrative branch is following the law? The US Congress..........as spelled out IN the Constitution. Who is responsible for ensuring that the law is consistent with the Constitution? The United States Supreme Court, which has likewise been forced to engage in partisan politics.

The Congress is the ONLY branch which may write law, thus it's category "Legislative branch", and neither the President nor SCOTUS may rescind, modify or refuse to follow any portion of the law.

The President is responsible for carrying out the will of Congress as directed by the laws it passes, thus it's category "administrative branch", he is NOT authorized to pursue partisan or personal agendas, engage in private agreements with any agency foreign or domestic, or re-appropriate funds.

The courts are responsible for determining whether activities of citizens are consistent with the law, making judgements consistent with the Constitution, thus it's category "Judicial branch". It is NOT authorized to make or change law, neither is SCOTUS, the Courts must advise the legislative authority on how to modify law to conform with Constitutional precepts.

Thank you Larai, for reading and understanding my post. I prefer to believe that the vast majority of Americans will usually do what is right for the country versus what is politically correct. But there are and have always been those whose belief system forces them to seek more and more power. The current Democrat politicians whose aim is to convert our republic into a socialist nation are ignoring the fact that what has brought so much to so many is not Socialism. If Socialism is a way to prosperity for all then why are the people in countries like Cuba and Venezuela in the condition they are? If Capitalism is so wrong then why are there so many people across the globe wanting to live here?
