I've gotta admit, I have a lot of respect for Justin Amash.

I moved out of his district in 2015. I never voted for him. In fact, I actively campaigned against him in every election. I disagreed with every policy he espoused, but at least he has the courage to stand up for the Constitution, unlike all of the other gop cowards. I'm not sure what's going to happen to him in 2020. That district is so republican. I'm sure there'll be a jackass MAGAt running on the r ticket.



Libertarians, constitutional conservatives, and classical liberals believe in protecting whistleblowers to expose government corruption. Trump Republicans believe in exposing whistleblowers to protect government corruption.

I get a kick out of his term 'classical liberal'. Not sure what it is, but it sure sounds fancy.
