The constitution has nothing in it that deals with a government and a block of the citizenry who are wholly without morals.

There is no provision if it is discovered that a candidate cheated to win an office. There are no provisions that deal with a party that refuses to honor the law.

I think we are about to find out whether those that do report to the President will choose the Constitution over the person of the President who is the titular Commander-in-Chief. Will they obey his orders even if those orders blatantly violate the Constitutional separation of powers?

He is lurching toward becoming “involved” with the Department of Justice because he is frustrated that he has been kept from using the Department of Justice to persecute those he sees as his enemies.

Will anyone that currently has the power rise up to stop him?
