The Constitution is more important than any former president

Published



Now that former President Donald Trump has called for the suspension of the Constitution when it suits his ends, every elected Republican should ostracize him.

Nobody who advocates the “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” as Trump did over the weekend, should hold public office. Ever. A public official in the United States must swear to uphold the Constitution, and it is impossible to swear honestly to uphold something you say should be ignored.
