The weight of history is upon those Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.

It would be easy to do what much of the rest of Congress is doing - nothing. But they have a duty of oversight. It is part of their job to protect the judicial process in this country.

What makes their job so difficult is that they are obstructed at every turn. At least, they have been up to this point. Will the White House order Corey Lewandowski to defy the subpoena for Tuesday? Could they hold Lewandoski in contempt of Congress? Could they add another obstruction charge against Donald J Trump if they file Articles of Impeachment?

The country has entrusted the Committee to defend our Constitution and the rule of law in this country.

I do believe, it is an historic time we are going thru.

however we can. If they fail, this country is likely to be deplorable for independents, democrats, and yes even many republicans. The GOP's goal appears to be to make the US into a dystopian country.
