Any Senator who chooses to support the current string of Trump nominees without biting scrutiny and a deep search for the truth is simply acting out of cowardice. I have never understood why the people we elect to Congress look at their positions as a job they must keep at all costs rather than as the duty of a citizen to work in service to our country. Getting re-elected should never be a consideration in doing the work of a representative of the people. Doing what is right, standing up for and speaking the truth, honoring the oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States - this is the honorable work that should drive the people we elect. Do not hasten to state that I am naive. Rather, understand that representing our fellow citizens is deeply noble work if one truly honors their oath of office. It is the noble work to which we all are called as citizens of this country if we want to continue to live in a democratic republic.
