“From these facts, by which Montesquieu was guided, it may clearly be inferred that, in saying “There can be no liberty where the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or body of magistrates,” or, “if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers,” he did not mean that these departments ought to have no PARTIAL AGENCY in, or no CONTROL over, the acts of each other. His meaning, as his own words import, and still more conclusively as illustrated by the example in his eye, can amount to no more than this, that where the WHOLE power of one department is exercised by the same hands which possess the WHOLE power of another department, the fundamental principles of a free constitution are subverted.”

One Word – WOW!
Let’s remember that during 2020 House Races!
Sen. Mitch McConnell has announced that if you are a Republican member of the U.S. Senate sworn oaths do not matter.
Imagine that.
Prior to an impeachment trial, according to Article I, section 3, clause 6 of the Constitution, says the senators serving as a jury “shall be on Oath or Affirmation.”
According to the Senate Rules in Impeachment Trials that oath is:
”I solemnly swear (or affirm) that in all things appertaining to the trial of __, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help me God.” McConnell (and, according to him, every other Republican senator) has broken that oath even before taking it.
McConnell told Fox News that he will coordinate with White House lawyers defending President Donald Trump, adding, “There is no chance the president is going to be removed from office.” It’s like a jury foreman announcing that a defendant is innocent before the trial begins.

“Clear direction from POTUS to continue to hold.”

McCusker responded: “You can’t be serious. I am speechless.”

Question is ‘how’ disturbed? Murkowski has let us down before!
Sadly, there may not even be a trial?
This is NOT how it is supposed to work! First Gorsuch and now this!
They don’t even try to hide the corruption!
Combining Barr as AG, McConnell fixing the Senate AND SCOTUS deciding in June 2020 that Trump can keep his taxes secret completes the Total Destruction of our Checks and Balances!
