I would like to see a new movement. "Did you swear an oath to the Constitution'?

Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz, come on down!!

Let us all call them out, state by state!!

Not just on our keyboards.

Call, text, send faxes (yeah I know, but it is on Cornyn's voice options) call relentlessly. I'd like to say scream, but that doesn't work, ever.

Posted in primaries as well. But this I believe is a "General Discussion" topic as well.

... neither is Lindsey, or any other "ranking" Republican. I can't help remembering that Dubya is quoted as saying (of the Constitution) "It's just a goddam piece of paper!"

Sure, they took the oath. So what?

...the dichotomy of their hand-raising experience vs. their adamant backing of a real live Russian asset. I just think it ain't gonna happen. Too many of them are fellow passengers on the Kompromat Express.

them that their oath was to the Constitution, not Donald Trump. I hope the staffers I spoke to delivered the message.

Speak out. Ring their phones off the wall. Fill up their voice mails, jam their "faxes". ......

I must confess though, we are dealing with Cornyn and Cruz....... Calling either of them is truly an exercise in futility. We do hope each time we reach a real live person that just maybe a seed is planted.
