One of the constant cries from the political left is that the political right is a danger to our democracy. First of all, we are a representative republic–not a democracy. Secondly, which political wing is ignoring the Constitution–that requires us to secure our borders, requires equal justice, limits the federal government to enumerated powers as stated in the Tenth Amendment? Today we have a new Constitutional breech.<\/p>\n
Breitbart<\/a> is reporting the following today:<\/p>\n The Democrats\u2019 January 6 Committee will conclude its \u201cinvestigation\u201d on Monday by asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute former President Donald Trump, though the committee lacks constitutional authority to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n Congressional committees must be organized for a legislative purpose, not as part of a law enforcement action, which is a function of the executive branch under the separation of power in the Constitution.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nevertheless, the January 6 Committee \u2014 in what is expected to be its final act before a Republican-led House takes over next month \u2014 is expected to ask the DOJ to prosecute Trump for what it says are multiple crimes.<\/strong><\/p>\n I suspect that the one crime that President Trump is actually guilty of is being President Trump.<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Schiff saw no irony in accusing the former president of trying to overthrow the government when he himself had tried to overturn Trump\u2019s administration through the \u201cRussia collusion\u201d hoax and a failed impeachment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Neither of the two Republicans chosen by Pelosi for the committee was reelected to Congress; one Democrat retired, and one Democrat, Rep.
