The apparent reticence (polite word) of some of these high-end law firms is infuriating. I almost typed "shocking" but truth to tell I'm not even especially surprised by it. Most of them serve big-bucks corporations and the mega-wealthy, but doesn't "rule of law" mean anything to them?
It's also sobering how many of these anti-democracy Republican legislators have law degrees from Ivy League and other top-tier law schools. Is the importance of the rule of law taught there, or is the emphasis on clever ways to get around the law and/or bend or remake it to suit corporate needs?
Why are we standing idly by with our hands behind our backs in order to facilitate the process of allowing the gestapo to wrap their clammy hands around our necks and choke the life out of us?
The time is long past due to call for prolonged civil disobedience on a national scale, while demanding that the military and our law enforcement agencies disobey illegal orders. The way to bring this sordid regime down is to deny it the power to enforce its strictures. Yes, it will take an element of anarchy to show that the fascists are unable to govern this country. However, we are not going to effect any change if we lie down before them and allow them to keep trampling over our rights and values with their jackboots.
But here is my daily refrain: where is the united leadership that we need in order to direct the charge?
Just a elderly Canadian who has a great love for the USA. Just asking , If an official of the USA let say leader of the free world should show signs of mental decline could they not be replaced and ordered to go for a medical review. The leader and his sycophants seem to be the National Security threat. God Bless the USA.
Trump should face high treason charges
