In his reply, Bob Goodlatte quoted the Constitution to me (I had already read it several times) . He pointed out that Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. Bob reminded me that, " ...he will have the power to
execute the law under Article II of the Constitution. Likewise, Congress
will have the power to write the law under Article I of the Constitution.” [And that] “Our constitutional system of three co-equal
branches of government and a Bill of Rights therefore prevent one branch from
assuming too much authority without a challenge from the other branches of
government."
I have some information for Mr. Goodlatte; nowhere in the
Constitution does it require US
legislators to support crude, ignorant, stupid, mentally ill, and traitorous
behavior by a president. As Chair
of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob has the Constitutional authority to
question, and at times, push back against unlawful and destructive behavior by
a sitting president. In fact it is his
duty to do so.
Instead, Mr.
Goodlatte has been a staunch supporter of all of Trump’s actions to date and a
chief attacker of those who do criticize the president. Bob Goodlatte has abrogated his sworn oath of
office to the United State’s House of Representatives.
By the way, his staff sends out anodyne boilerplate responses
to all enquiries from his constituents. They’re just doing their jobs, unlike Bob.
