18. It does seem pointless but broaden your perspective.
Let me restate what you said.

Using the constitutional check and balance is pointless. It would make you look crazy. It would make things harder for the minority party.

I'm sorry but that is defeatism. You have to fight for it. You have to use every available avenue and it will be hard. In the end it is worth it.

I know the repubs would fight for it. Do you have any idea how many people that think the dems are weak? It has something to do with not taking a stand.

How many repubs want to be on the record voting to support *? Half of the country thinks he is doing a terrible job. Hell they are afraid to record how they voted on lowering the ethics standard.

Do what you know is right.

It helps to have ammunition when you are in battle. Sen X and Y voted to support this failed pres and should be held accountable......

There certainly will be negative aspects but Americans love the underdog that fights for what they believe in.
