On Amash Leaving the GOP

Glad to see Justin Amash has left the Freedom Caucus and the GOP. He remarked:

“I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system - and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.”

Fully agree. Republicans have won two elections despite losing the popular vote. In my mind, they’re seeing popular opinion isn’t on their side and are desperate to seize and hold onto power. Unfortunately, many of their recent attempts at holding onto power are undermining the ethics that’s supposed to underlie our democracy. Thus I fully agree with his recent tweet:

Here are my principal conclusions:

  1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
  1. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
  2. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
  3. Few members of Congress have read the report.
