    Bemoaning the President's harm to society and high misdeeds is not enough. Article 2, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution was created for a time such as this and a President such as Trump. It's past time to do more than talk.

    If President Trump compared persons of any ethnicity or religion to termites, I would call that statement bigoted. Since Minister Farrakhan has compared Jews to termites, I must call that statement bigoted. Bigotry is unacceptable regardless of the source.

    Mr. President, children are still separated from their parents because of your bigoted border separation policy. This coupled with many examples of your bigotry is enough for people of good will to call for your resignation.

    Mr. President, you don't have to believe Dr. Ford to respect her. Mocking her for laughs is more than criticism, it's blatant sexism.

    If we delayed Merrick Garland indefinitely, then we can delay Brett Kavanugh temporarily. The Senate’s decision will either show how far America has come since Anita Hill or how far we have to go after Dr. Ford. History will judge us.

    Mr. President, the Justice Department and its employees are independent watchdogs for the people NOT dependent lapdogs for the President. As a member of the Justice Department, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is NOT your lapdog.

    Mr. President, you are imminently correct. YOU don’t have an Attorney General. The United States of America has an Attorney General, & when YOU have an Attorney General, the country loses. AG Jeff Sessions is not your private lawyer. He works for the people, NOT for you.
