Disrespect and disobedience to the law. Where does it end?

I think we are now seeing where it has evolved.

It began with arrogant disregard for rules and standards. Rules were made for other people. Standards were made to be broken.

Then, it became brazen law-breaking. What's the big deal if the president attempts to extort and bribe a foreign leader to begin investigations on his political opponents? What's the big deal?

Now, because he was never held responsible, he is publicly attacking female Justices of the Supreme Court. He wants them to recuse themselves if any case involving himself is brought before the Court. He is now using his people on the Supreme Court to skip the appeals court process and to rule immediately in his favor. That is where we are today.

What's next?

Failure to put Reagan's gang and failure to put Ws gang in jail is what brought us to this place. Thank you, moderate Democrats.
