How low will Republicans allow the current president to take them? Today, the President’s lawyer literally argued in a court of law that the President could murder someone on Fifth Avenue in New York City and would be immune to prosecution.

This alone is horrific, but when you combine this with the President’s over 12,000 demonstrable lies while in office, his use of foreign policy for personal political gain, his obstruction of justice on multiple fronts, his acceptance of emoluments, his betrayal of battlefield allies in Syria, his allowing at least 100 ISIS prisoners to escape and then lie about them being recaptured, his capitulation to nationalist tyrants, and his disdain for our traditional allies; what you have is the most dangerous and immoral presidency in the history of our Republic, and yet Republicans just keep going lower with him as if there is no bottom.

Perhaps there is no bottom. What a tragedy that would be for our country and the world!

Our country was strong enough in the 1970s to reject the horrific argument by Nixon that “if the President does something it cannot be against the law.” Will we be strong enough today to reject the same immoral argument coming from the current president? Will enough Republican senators once again put country and constitution over party as they did in response to Nixon?

When it comes down to it, will enough Republican senators vote to convict the current president when he is impeached for his many offenses and comes before the U.S. Senate for trial, or will they simply mildly rebuke his behavior on twitter and cling to power no matter the costs to the soul of our republic?
