Rick Perry has defined himself as a traitor to the U.S.Constitution

(An opinion of course!!!)

___________________________________________________________________________

Will Republicans stand with him, or the U.S.Constitution.?

.Time will tell........................................................................

If the courts hold true to the U.S. Constitution and stand with the bipartisan panel...and

Republicans stand with the bipartisan committee, then Perry will go down....Good By Mr. Perry..

......If Republicans stand with Mr. Perry, then............ Good by Republican Party!!! :

1. I have no doubt that they will stand and support Rick Perry.

I saw it Texans continue to support Perry for over 15 years. It didn't matter what he did or did not do. The Republican Party and their supporters would vote for anyone other than "one of those liberals". It has become a culture here in Texas and sadly gets worse and worse every year.

Some Republicans will stand with the Constitution. In the Constitution it really says 6 words:

...................."NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW".......................................................


Those 6 words are part of the history of the U.S. Constitution.

I recall clearly Richard Nixon believing he was ...Above the Law..

He wasn't ..and his companions went to jail.. I remember!!!..
Ask some of the companions....Some are still alive..
John Dean is still around, and he served time in jail

Yes, the courts interpret the U.S. Constitution,
but ultimately ........"N9 One Is Above The Law"..

3. Clearly a despicable so-called "patriot." But his text is not enough to convict him.

Whether outing these people will produce a backlash against GOPers is still in question.

But people need to know the crud that was going on due to the big lie. If 2 or 3% of swing voters recognize truth, we are good.

4. Thank You..."The Big Lie." is the idea that "The Election Was Stolen and Rigged by Democrats" .

.................................That .....is the ...."Big Lie".............

Still that term is not clear to everyone..You may not believe it, but that term is unknown to many people..
...And the election was not stolen, it was fair, and investigated.

most important......."...EVERY TIME TRUMP TALKS ABOUT THE ELECTION, HE PROMOTES THE "BIG LIE"...."

.............................the term "big lie" came from Nazi Germany and Adolph Hitler who used
............................."The Big Lie" to gain power and remain in power"......and ...Donald Trump
............................. knew that history and used it because it worked....

.............................. (I read about that ...last point some time ago, and couldn't believe that, but it's true!)

While the text of what Rick Pery wrote may not be enough to convict him, the resulting backlash about what happened as
the investigation continues, maybe enough to destroy the Republican Party..........maybe...........Time Will Tell...........

...Nobody knows how much more will come out, but I believe it will be a lot more information against the followers
...of Donald Trump & (more info about Trump) ...(a lot more information will be coming out in my opinion)
