U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer needs a wake-up call.
We have elected our representatives to protect our interests.
First among those interests is protecting us from bad leaders.
We currently have a president who has broken the law. People should read the Mueller Report. The president continues to break the the law by obstructing justice.
The only reason House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not support hearings for impeachment is it doesn’t currently poll well, but that is not a reason to not do their job.
When the Watergate hearings started, impeachment wasn’t popular then, either.
As people learned through the hearings what had taken place and then Nixon further tried to obstruct justice — see Saturday Night Massacre — people saw how necessary it was.
Congress’s job, in part, is to ensure a check on the power of the president and hold him accountable.
If they don’t, no one else can, and that is a very scary thought indeed.
Start the hearings now.
