Enough Is Enough

  • Saturday, November 4, 2017

Yes, I am like you, Senator Corker, when it comes to what is necessary for our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and laws to be honored, respected, implemented, sustained, and enforced as the people and our elected representatives in Congress intended as we put them in place over the past 226 years.  Likewise, I expect those elected to high office to carry them out without delay with a sense of honor, dedication, and respect consistent with their oath of office and the will of the people. 

I reject with anger and disgust the President's daily if not hourly mockery, disdain, criticism, threats, and common violations of the rights of our elected officials and confirmed cabinet representatives as well as our most cherished protections under the legislative and judicial provisions within our government as clearly set forth in statutes and blessed by our most Supreme Court system. 

The Congress has power over such lawlessness as well as assessment of the ultimate penalty for such illegal acts.  It is past time for them to be applied.  If your politics of the day interfere with carrying them out, resign.  You are perpetuating the harm and danger to our people and our country.  Our military, National Guard, and police have full-time jobs and they know when and how to use them to protect us.  They do not need an added cleanup because you failed to do yours.  Enough is enough.
