.tribelaw: After Mueller's devastating testimony, the truth is beyond denying: Congress is failing us | Opinion
We are eye witnesses to the unraveling of the American project. Watching the old war hero stumble on the stage of history as he tried valiantly to overcome the limitations that his obviously ailing condition imposed on him was painful in itself. Watching the pitiless Republican vultures pick at his bones was even more so. But watching the ugly truth of what our nation threatens to become was worst of all.
Led through the narrative of Trump's unpatriotic corruption of American democracy by an adept Chairman Adam Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee, special counsel Robert Muller finally rose to the occasion, as one could see a glimmer of the United States Marine who had earned the Bronze Star for valor in Vietnam in December 1968.
The Constitution's framers were far from perfect, but they foresaw a scenario much like the one we face with Trump when they designed the impeachment power as a backstop to deal with"high Crimes and Misdemeanors," rejecting the argument that waiting for the next election to remove a dangerously illegitimate president would always suffice and insistent that we need a workable alternative to anarchy and bloodshed.
