Democrats must RESIST the Trumpziism radical evil agenda and stop Trump from breaking laws

Now is the time to call out the lawmakers who are cowering instead of challenging Trump’s abuse of power.

Echo opinion published in The Plain Dealer Cleveland Ohio

❗❗The Trump administration is breaking laws, illegally dismissing federal employees without cause, flagrantly ignoring court orders, and denying human beings their due process. 

What are Democrats doing❓ They are squabbling among themselves, exactly what they shouldn’t be doing. Instead, as the minority party, they must target Republicans.

Believe this: Not all of the Republicans in Congress can remain so intimidated by President Donald Trump that they are willing to disregard the Constitution, which clearly states that Congress, not the president, determines what is lawful and allocates the money. These legislators are aware that the president, like them, swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

If the president is ignoring his oath and outright defying constitutional mandates, it calls for action. Republican senators and representatives, many of them lawyers, certainly know this and must be publicly singled out, and not just criticized but shamed, loudly and specifically.

They must be reminded that they are Americans first, above party affiliation, and that when a president engages in law-breaking and violation of his oath -- virtual definitions of high crimes and misdemeanors -- it is actually treasonous for a member of the legislature not to deal with such a president in harsh and immediate ways.
