OPINION: Idaho’s Congressional delegation takes a pass on Constitutional governing
On Jan. 20, Donald Trump solemnly swore that he would, to the best of his ability, “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Immediately afterwards, he began churning out a slew of executive orders, a number of which violated that sacred oath. He put an unelected chaos agent, Elon Musk, in charge of shredding the U.S. Government in clear defiance of our Constitutional order. There has been no effort by Trump or the Republican House and Senate to stop his lawlessness.
All four members of Idaho’s Congressional delegation have placed their hand on a Bible and sworn in the presence of God that they “will support and defend the Constitution.” God may well be greatly disappointed that our Senators and Congressmen have stood by like frightened deer in the headlights, watching governmental agencies that were established and funded by law being taken down single handedly by a self-interested multi-billionaire who displays utter contempt for the rule of law. So much for their oath.
