Do we still have a Constitution? [View all]

[kentuck]

Seriously.

If the laws of our Constitution are not followed, what good are they?

Oh! Someday this will all be over and we will just continue where we left off?

We learned quite early that Trump had no plans to show his tax records or his medical records. Although that is not in our Constitution, that was a minimal request by the people of this country.

But, we learned also that Trump had no plans to stop his business ventures around the world. He was going to profit from his position. And the emolument clause is in the Constitution. It was ignored by Trump and the Congress did nothing about it. There is always an excuse.

Then he tried to overthrow an election so he could stay in power. Nobody did anything. Then he stole the nation's highest secrets. He was never held accountable by anyone.

He hired and fired at will, contrary to explicit language in our laws. He hired judges that were friendly to his interests and ignored all the others. He called them radical leftists.

And when the election comes around next year, if he is still alive, we will see troops at polling stations. We will see the ballot boxes confiscated by the government. Just as Stalin said, it doesn't matter who votes, it's who counts the votes that matter.

Do you still cling to the idea of a constitutional republic? Do you think we can recover from this disaster?

I apologize if this is too negative for some folks.
