Let's Roll

Democrats aren't going to impeach #SCROTUS.  It would just look petty and we don't have enough power at this point to do it.  The mad king is eventually going to upset enough of the power base to make them think "brave prince pence" should step in and take over.  Luckily, the mad king thinks he doesn't have to follow any rules and he's not beholden to anyone. McConnell and Ryan will have to be the ones to take him down. They surely must be compiling a list.  Here's what's probably on it so far:
  1. By raking in money from foreign governments, Trump may have violated Article I, Section 9: “no person holding office shall… accept any emolument … from a foreign state.”
  2. By banning travel from 7 countries with a majority of Muslims, and exempting Christians, Trump may have violated the 1st Amendment’s prohibition of any “law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
  3. By denigrating the free press, publicly calling it an “enemy of the American people,” and seeking to turn the public against it, Trump may have abridged the freedom of the press under the 1st Amendment.
  4. By disparaging and inciting violence against Mexican Americans, Muslim Americans, and African-Americans, Trump may have violated the 14th Amendment’s “equal protection” clause.
  5. If he knew of or participated in Russia’s attempt to get him elected he violated Article III, Section 3: “Treason against the United States shall consist in … adhering to [America’s] enemies.”
Hopefully they have connections in the NSA and CIA, because he won't go down without a fight. This could get ugly.
