We do. So I am going to begin a list for my own good and share it as I update it. We need to watch as, on issue by issue, Rinos come out of the closet and show their true colors. The first list I gave to you in paragraph form. Now I will repeat it as a list. I will put them alphabetically and try to relate the issue that exposed them.
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee Repeal of Obamacare
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia Repeal of Obamacare
Susan M. Collins of Maine Repeal of Obamacare
Dean Heller of Nevada Repeal of Obamacare
John McCain of Arizona Repeal of Obamacare
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Repeal of Obamacare
Rob Portman of Ohio Repeal of Obamacare
The Washington Times helps me add to that list as a “bipartisan” bill is introduced to make it hard for Trump to deal with the Mueller witch hunt. Today I will add to that list: Thom Tillis of North Carolina.
You might want to read the article with your brain turned on. It states that the Senate,
“...wrote the bill to create a judicial review should a president try to remove a special counsel.”Historically the first president to face impeachment was Andrew Johnson. His offense? He dared to fire one of his cabinet members. Deja vu anyone? Just who does Donald Trump think he is, the President of the United States?
The second hat you need is your Constitutional scholar hat. In the article it says,
“The bill would write into law current department guidelines governing who can fire a special counsel, and make them retroactive to this year’s appointment of Robert Mueller,...”Does the phrase “ex post facto” ring any bells? Let me share with you a phrase from the Constitution, Article 1, Section 9:
“No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.”The phrase means “after the fact”. It forbids congress from making laws retroactive.
These are dangerous times. We have the Democrats who don’t care what the Constitution says and we have an unknown number of Republican in Name Only frauds who also don’t care.
Vote the suckers out.

Capito went along with a surprising number of Obama-backed bills. We need rid of Manchin (democrat) too.
ReplyDeleteIf I make a list for Democrats it will be the miracle of one that might need to be supported. Don't hold your breath but my idealistic side says there must be one good one out there, even if he is a dog-catcher.

Rubio's not on the list? Sure he might've voted for the repeal but pretty wishy washy on some other issues. Not gonna mention immigration, but you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteSo far I have been too lazy to go back that far. I am willing to forgive youthful transgressions, after I have a place for you in my heart. The list will grow because a lot of them hide behind procedural antics that allow them to vote yes when they know others will stop the bill. He may make it yet.
