We are on the verge of a Constitutional Crisis and it may be what we need. [View all]

We are living in extraordinary times. The incoming administration and President-Elect is now the target of an investigation. We have a President-Elect who may have conspired with a foreign hostile nation to win a presidential election. The Director of the FBI is under investigation. During the day, watching the news, I have heard more than once the words illegitimate and impeachment.

A couple of weeks ago it seemed as if the country was going to turn into a nation of sheep and ostriches. But now I believe that there are more patriots in this country than we thought. People who love this country too much to allow it to slip away.

Donald Trump is a corrupt unstable liar. His presidency is illegitimate and doomed. And men like John Lewis will not allow us to forget it.
