What is at risk here is the very idea of America

What is at risk here is the very idea of America:

That we are a nation of laws, not of men.

Those who excuse the President's conduct because of partisan loyalty betray their oath of office. But I intend to uphold mine.

Tonight, the House voted to impeach the President of the United States.

We all feel the weight of history in this moment, but President Trump's grave misconduct left us no choice but to impeach.

Now it is incumbent on the Senate to conduct a fair trial. No one is above the law. pic.twitter.com/H6CUq506gS

Someone said the Republican Party used to be a party of principle. But here’s the question: what principles led to the party producing & voting for Trump? This is not just an indictment of Trump, but also of those principles.
