From the appointed president down to his staff, cabinet, and congressional enablers, the letter of the law must be upheld. As we have seen over these last several years, republicans will condescend to any law that gets in the way of their disgusting agenda. By flouting our laws and daring others to hold them accountable they are setting precedent for an argument that they are above the law. Well that is what they will do if we who have the power of the subpoena and the right to arrest do nothing in the face of their arrogance.
Not only must they be held to account for their willful or ignorant violations of lawful legal procedure they must be held to account in the most severe way. The idea of punishment is not a new concept. It is a tried and true reaction in maintaining balance within our society. If a crime is committed then a punishment must follow, otherwise what would interdict to keep crimes from becoming the normal?
What we have had with the trumps and republicans in general is a steady attack on our rule of law. They for whatever reason, which is likely to remain in power, have taken the strategy that we democrats will do nothing in the face of their blatant defiant disobedience to the laws of our land. So far they have gotten many reprieves from their bad conduct but that must end now! Our leaders set the example for our society and for us to let them off with no punishment for their illegal and unethical behavior is just telling our society that they can do the same. Who wants to be a good person when being a bad one is far more lucrative without cost? The end of republicans violating our laws with impunity must end now and the paradigm for further violations must be as harsh as possible!
