(3,433 posts)Everyone should expect their senator and representative to place the good of the nation above personal desire. I would love to have a majority in both houses and the presidency forever (though there will be an eventual party split down the line but that's another subject entirely). However first and foremost we must have a nation that is governed by laws. We must have a government that holds its leaders accountable when they violate their oath and break the law. This must be so even if its politically inconvenient n. This must be so even if we know for certain that doing so means we will alienate those voters who prefer anarchy to rule of law.
We are either a constitutional republic or we are not. We either demand that our representatives honor their oath even if it costs seats or we do not.
I am disinterested in living in a country that has devolved to dishonor and self interest even if its "benevolent" to some. If we fail to impeach then we might as well admit to the world that our "great experiment" isnt worth spit. We will have proved our corruption and dishonor for generations.
