It’s bad enough that the spineless Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, and most of his fellow Republicans are kneeling before the man in the White House, thereby relinquishing the authority of Congress as an equal branch of the US government. But now the Supreme Court has fallen in line with those who are willing to diminish the power of our legislative branch, by allowing Trump to divert funds allocated by Congress for our military to pay for his political sideshow of a border wall.
As too many legislators and justices kowtow to an imperial president, we should heed the warning of one who knows him well: his former attorney, Michael Cohen. Cohen warned that Trump won’t give up power voluntarily.
Let us not forget the lessons of the events that led to the rise of fascism in Germany 80 years ago. In my opinion, the impeachment of Trump cannot come soon enough.
