Think about this. Trump admits openly and out loud that he is most angry with @jeffsessions for recusing himself from the Russian investigation. He admits he would not have appointed him had he known Sessions intended to do so.
HE SAYS THESE THINGS OUT LOUD.

There is only one reason Trump would want Sessions not to recuse himself, and that's b/c he expects Sessions, or whomever his Attorney Gen is, to closely monitor, report back on, limit, & control where the investigation goes or can go. It's a clear attempt to obstruct justice.

He will undoubtedly put the firing of Mueller into his AG's lap. And then pretend that he had no control over the decision.
This is all so obvious. I m ashamed to live in a country that would put the one person with the power to do the worst things above the reach of the law.

If this is what the Forefathers intended then I never again want to hear about the sanctity of the Constitution or the wisdom of the white, male, slaveowners who wrote it.
Intentions no longer matter, b/c they couldn't imagine a person like Trump ascending to the Presidency.

How they were unable to imagine it when their own time was filled with corrupt men with too much money and too much power.
Since they could not imagine this they were unable to imagine how we could extricate ourselves, protect ourselves, or fix anything.

This proves more than anything that the document that the barbaric bigot Antonim Scalia would refuse to allow to be a living one unfettered by the strictures of time and place, and instead insisted it was dead, static. Unchanging.

This means, of course, that whatever those rich white male slaveowners meant when they wrote the Constitution in 1787 is exactly how it must be applied today. No matter how differently the country looks today, Scalia argued over and over, 1787 always gets the last word.

Yet that precious document continues to fail us. It has been so wrong about so much, and too limited by the lack of imagination of the men who wrote it and those charged with is interpretation and enforcement that its left us powerless at the feet of treason.

In a time of King's and tyrants, of endemic war and flagrant excess and corruption they were unable to imagine the worst people might someday seek to control the seat of ultimate power?

It seems the only one who couldn't imagine a man like Trump we're the same people should have protected us from him.
If Donald Trump is allowed to fire Jeff Sessions and Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed life as we have known it in this nation is gone forever.

Cue the stream of MAGAs & "Constitutionalists" who will appear shortly to call me names, & tell me how wrong I am, how little I know, or how crazy & paranoid I am.
Some will be bots, some trolls, and some sincere as fuck.
Ignore them.
They support all of this.
They are wrong.
