9. We are watching in real time how treason was and is being committed

even in this disgusting manner, that the fascist republicans "never" gave a sitting president the advise and consent of his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I personally think that we should be out in the street on this and other matters of how the Constitution is now just a piece of toilet paper.

I still remember how the Roberts Court made a buffer zone out in front of the Supreme Court (100 feet) to suppress the right to assemble to protest on those grounds, like they are some how to be shielded by there right wing actions of eviscerating Civil Rights.

I always keep saying when a orange face lying racist got sworn in by a racist in a black robe this last election, because (5) fascist republican judges voted to kill the Voting Right Act.

When ever I see a news reel of three U.S. soldiers under fire on the beach of Normandy, and two of the men are struck and one dies immediately, and the other one out of the three gets a gut shot and his hit again and is on his knees, and then dies, and the other man is we are seeing is still upright making it up that beach, I think of what those three men did, they were defending the Constitution, to protect the president to have the opportunity to invoke his power of Article II Section 3.

What the republicans did today was to besmirch those deaths from the past and today and that Article II and Section 3.
