and I have DU to thank for what I was able to say.
The question was, "What would the Founding Fathers think of today's America?"
I called on the line saying they would be displeased.
They'd be displeased at least with one political situation, and what's more, I can tell you exactly what two of them would say and why they'd say it.
George Mason would say, "The President has commuted the sentence of someone, ostensibly to protect his own office. What do we do?"
And James Madison would say, "That's what the House of Representatives has impeachment for. They better get to it!"
And how do I know they'd say this? Because they DID say it. At the Constitutional Convention. They envisioned exactly this scenario, and that was their remedy.
Thanks, DU, for finding that nugget for me. It came in handy this morning!
