Have you noticed that the Republicans have been silent about Trump views on the Constitution? Silence is complicity!

It’s a tired exercise to imagine how Republicans might react if Barack Obama or Joe Biden was guilty of any of the gaffes Donald Trump commits on a daily basis — but imagine for a second how conservatives would react if Obama or Biden had been asked during a high-profile interview whether they feel it’s their duty as president to uphold the Constitution, and they responded, “I don’t know.”

Such is how Trump responded on Sunday when Kristen Welker of NBC News pressed him on his administration’s refusal to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a Maryland man the administration deported without due process — back from El Salvador, including after the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the administration must “facilitate” his return. Trump has largely tried to wash his hands of anything to do with the situation, repeatedly saying it’s up to his lawyers, which is how he describes the Justice Department.

“Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States, as president?” Welker asked Trump after he pleaded ignorance about whether everyone in America has a right to due process, a constitutional right.

The Republicans who have been asked about Trump’s dismissal of the Constitution have largely responded by defending Trump. “Look, I think the president knows he needs to uphold the Constitution,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) told CNN.

Does he, though? It really, really seems like he doesn’t. He’s taken countless blatantly unconstitutional actions since taking office. He recently told Time that he wouldn’t “100 percent” agree that the United States should be ruled by laws, not men. He constantly muses about being “king” and staying in office beyond his constitutionally mandated term limit. What evidence is there that Trump cares one iota about upholding the Constitution?

He does want any "Checks and Balances" when the courts say no to his draconian edicts he attacks the courts... the Republicans in Congress remain silent. He has a judge arrested... the Republicans in Congress remain silent. He openly deifies the Supreme Court...the Republicans in Congress remain silent.

The Republicans are a cult... they are afraid to challenge Mighty Lord Ruler Trump. They are quacking in their boots afraid of the "Dark Side" of the vengeance of Trump.
