43 Senators vote to violate the Constitution
They say in school the Constitution is the highest law of the land. Then a Senator voting to do something completely unconstitutional is voting to do something illegal.
The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
That was so important they put that in the Constitution itself. Freedom of speech isn’t in there. It’s in an Amendment. But Habeas Corpus is a biggie, it made it in straightaway.
But now the government doesn’t want to follow the Constitution. And 43 Senators are okay with that.
And they are ALL Republicans, except one Independent, Lieberman. All Democrats, and all other Independents, voted to restore a Constitutionally protected freedom. 6 Republicans crossed the party line to vote for upholding the law.
I’m not a fan of many positions the Democratic party supports. But in this case they are doing the right thing and the ‘publicans are not.
Is it too strong to call the 43 Senators voting to continue the denial of Constitutional freedom traitors? I don’t think it is.
They are traitors to the United States of America.
