The thing is, our constitution has a remedy for a lawless, out-of-control executive led by a lawless out-of-control president and vice president and that's articles of impeachment against both of them declaring the full nature of their crimes against the American people.

Remind the American people that they ARE NOT at the mercy of a criminal executive backed by a corrupt supreme court. It is ultimately up to We the People, through our representatives in the House (to set forth offenses against us) and the people we elected to the Senate (to pass judgement on those offenses).

I believe drafting articles and making that the vehicle behind which we organize, whatever the outcome, and however many times introduction is blocked, is the only completely consistent response.

They are commiting crimes against us in plain sight. We have a remedy. This is it and they can draft articles and call on everyone in the nation who is committed to defending our constitution to lobby their representatives to co-sign or be voted out in favor of someone who will.

We ARE NOT POWERLESS.

The most effective way to give the American people the hope they can fix this that is absolutely necessary to mobilize action is to remind them that we created a constitution that gave them an enormous power beyond our power to vote: We gave ourselves the power of impeachment and removal.

The outcome is irrelevant. Do NOT accept "can't win so don't fight" preemptive surrender.

Fighting for the remedy We the People put in place to ensure WE had the ultimate say over an executive who is commiting high crimes against our founding principles is absolutely necessary.

The judiciary may save us, but we must not rely on that. They are not the ultimate judges of what constitutes high crimes against us by a President or Vice President. To demand they condemn the actions as crimes against us, without demanding that our representatives fight for impeachment, is essentially to accept our impotence.

And if members of SCOTUS fail to do their jobs; if they prove themselves co-conspirators in the crimes against us, then we must demand that articles of impeachment be brought against them for those crimes.

We DO have the power.
